It plays an outsized role in powering growth, speed, reliability, and innovation across the company. From merchandising and supply chain to stores and digital, our technology platforms directly enable the most critical outcomes for 2026 and beyond.   Target Tech builds and   operates   the intelligence-powered architecture that fuels these outcomes.

The team owns the APIs that power the Managed Containers experience in TAP, as well as the deployment pipeline used to create, update, and   delete   Managed Container workloads.   Container   Controlplane   sits at the intersection of platform engineering, distributed systems, developer experience, orchestration ,   and operational reliability. The team   is responsible for   enabling a consistent, scalable, and self-service experience for teams that build and deploy the applications Target relies on to run its business.   Today the team enables:   Managed Containers capabilities in TAP for application teams across on-prem, GCP, stores, and distribution centers.    Deployment   orchestration for creating, updating, and   deleting   Managed Container workloads.    Placement decisions for workloads across supported locations.    Health and status management for running workloads through service discovery and control mechanisms.    Sidecar configuration for proxy authentication and observability.    Access control and deployment workflows for specialized provider locations such as GCP and store/distribution center environments.    Self-service deployment experiences that allow teams to deploy workloads at will.    Our strategic thesis: Managed Containers are not just a deployment abstraction. They are a platform capability that must make it easy for Target teams to run applications wherever the business needs them, while still providing strong reliability, security, and operational consistency across a highly distributed environment.
