TEAM AND ROLE
As a Junior Software Engineer, you will be part of an expert team of software engineers and applied scientists working towards keeping the delivery time promise for all Zalando customers. Your focus will be the design, development, and improvement of a core software system that drives algorithmic order prioritization and fulfillment optimization in all Zalando warehouses. In this role, you will face three significant challenges: ensuring the system adheres to the latest software engineering standards, gaining a comprehensive understanding of order processing systems to identify opportunities for improvement, and ensuring the software design supports the integration of complex multi-objective algorithms.
If you have a passion for creating scalable software systems and solving complex problems, we want to hear from you. This is a unique opportunity to make a real impact and help drive the success of our business.
WHAT WE’D LOVE YOU TO DO (AND LOVE DOING)
Be part of the design and implementation of our software framework to cater for the increasing scale and load.
Work on end-to-end solutions and contribute to the entire development cycle, including requirement engineering based on deep domain & business understanding, prototyping, implementing production software, as well as testing and operating the highly available production system.
Collaborate closely with our applied scientists to mutually influence and understand system constraints and opportunities, and take part in shaping the future of our system.
Think abstractly and discover correlations between problems, methodologies, and solutions.
Promote and support an inclusive culture and diverse team environment, fostering a positive and productive work environment for all team members.
WE’D LOVE TO MEET YOU IF
