Software Engineering - Full Stack

As a Full Stack Engineer, you collaborate closely with Search Engine Optimisation Experts and implement solutions to help our customers to find the perfect matches for their fashion related searches.

Our team is responsible for the content visibility and discovery of articles via search engines and for our customers. We take care of the indexation and exposure of articles and fashion related content to make sure that Zalando ranks highly in search results.

Thus providing customers the ability to discover the articles that they are looking for in our shop. Managing this multitude of information is a challenging task.

Another important task of the team is to ensure that the metadata on the pages in our shop is up to date, reflecting for example seasonality and trends.


In order to fulfil these objectives we operate a large number of services, all working together in a microservice setup. The performance of our systems is vital for both Zalando and our consumers, therefore it is important to make them robust, reliable and highly available from the get go. 


Our software products are built with Kotlin, Scala and JavaScript and deployed as microservices on AWS using Kubernetes. 


WHERE YOUR EXPERTISE IS NEEDED

  • Create highly scalable solutions and own the entire development cycle - from architecture design to implementation, testing and maintenance.

  • Own your code and decide on the technologies and tools to deliver as well as operate large-scale applications, based on a microservices architecture.

  • Take an active role in understanding business requirements and translating them into technological solutions.

  • Play a leading part in evolving and scaling our systems as per our business demands.

  • Own service operational duties, including monitoring and keeping them up running and healthy

  • “Solve something that matters” -  solve business problems in the best possible way, while being a highly dynamic team which embraces change.

  • Contribute to the tech community within the department as well as on company level; take an active role in onboarding new team members and mentoring junior colleagues.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • A solid grasp of computer science fundamentals combined with a strong capacity of solving complex problems with roughly 5 years of hands-on software development in a commercial setting.

  • Experience with designing and building microservices in a JVM based programming language (solid background in using Kotlin, Scala or Java required), experience with JavaScript (NodeJS and React primarily, TypeScript is a plus).

  • Cloud architecture experience (preferably AWS and Kubernetes).

  • Experience with maintaining databases (preferably PostgreSQL) and designing well defined database schemas

  • "You build it, you run it" approach: experience managing services end-to-end, from developing to deploying to monitoring and incident support.

  • Knowledge in architecture/design methods and patterns, data and API specifications, quality assurance and testing methods

Great communication skills in English.


WHAT WE OFFER

  • Culture of trust, empowerment and constructive feedback, open source commitment, meetups, game nights, 70+ internal and fun guilds, knowledge sharing through talks, internal tech academy and blogs, product demos, parties and events

  • Competitive salary, employee share shop, training platform and training budget, free language courses (English / German), pension scheme, 40% Zalando shopping discount on most products from our catalogue, discounts from external partners, centrally located offices, public transport discounts, municipality services, great IT equipment, flexible working times, additional holidays and volunteering time off, diverse online accessible sports and health offerings (such as an extensive Employee Assistance Program for you and your family members)

  • Extensive onboarding, mentoring and personal development opportunities and access to an international team of experts and a very diverse group of colleagues. We are proud of our diversity and it shows in our recently published report. 

  • Sponsorship for VISAs, Relocation assistance for internationals, PME family service and parent & child rooms* (*available only in selected locations)

We celebrate diversity and are committed to building teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and skills. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, and business need.
