About this team:

The Bottom of Funnel Web team owns the cart and checkout experiences on target.com. We are tasked with empowering the millions of guests who purchase each week to do so quickly, easily, and with confidence. Because of this, stability is key. New features we ship are A/B tested so we know exactly how they perform with real guest traffic. We’re constantly evolving our monitoring, reporting, testing, and tooling to give us confidence in the code we release. Cypress and Jest testing are important to us and enable us to ship code daily. In the coming months the team plans to tackle major features related to purchasing outside of the checkout experience, payment options, and streamlining checkout for new guests.
