Who We Are:

Vista is the industry leader in personalized physical and digital products. We empower over 17 million global customers to make an impression – and we’re fueled by forward-thinking and innovative technology. We encourage our engineers to think like owners – to continue to act small as we grow. Every team builds their own roadmaps, and chooses the programming languages and technologies that suit them best. This helps us have a big impact at the enterprise level, while still feeling small and nimble.

Just last year, Vista generated $1.508B in revenue through customized print products, signage, apparel, websites and more.

In the Merchandise Technology team we build the technology that runs the storefront of the VistaPrint website. We empower content authors to deliver content driven marketing experiences using technologies such as React, GatsbyJS, Next.js, Contentful, and Builder.io. Each team has the autonomy to choose the technology that best solves their problem.

We make decisions driven by data. We listen to what our customers are telling us and act accordingly. Each team works closely with the product organization to build out a roadmap that balances technology maintenance, innovation, and delivering incremental value.
