Target is looking to hire 20 new engineers and staffers for its mysterious tech startup called “Goldfish” led by West Stringfellow, according to Bisnow. The company has been curiously mum about the intent of the new startup, which is part of Target’s efforts to create innovative ways to propel the retail chain forward, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported. The listing for one of the advertised positions states that the project “is ambitious and bent on disrupting the way people shop,” Consumerist reported. The project apparently will be housed in Target’s Sunnyvale, California tech office.
While a Target spokesperson did confirm that the retailer was hiring tech personnel, no further details were made available for this project. “At this point the project and what it is, is still confidential,” said Jenna Reck, the spokeswoman.
