THE ROLE & THE TEAM
Partner Tech is one of the core organisations within Zalando. We ensure that the partner has the right tooling and insights in place to steer their business - be it wholesale, partner program or connected retailing - in an efficient manner.
In our Tech Foundations department we ensure that the “machine room” is always running. We provide the infrastructure for our partner portal, api and integrations, partner self service, access management and security and much more.
As an Engineering Manager for our Partner team you will join us in Berlin and own the systems and services which ensure that our users have a safe and secure environment. You will work with different teams across Zalando to build our Partner Educational System and our Communication Platform for all Zalando Partners.
Together with our Tech Foundation Leadership you will work on the future strategy and vision for our partner platform.
INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN
At Zalando, our vision is to be inclusive by design. And this vision starts with our hiring - we do not discriminate on the basis of gender identity, sexual orientation, personal expression, ethnicity, religious belief, or disability status. You are welcome to leave out your picture, age, or marital status from your application. We only assess candidates on their qualifications and merit.
We want to provide you with a great candidate experience. Feel free to inform us of any accommodations you may need, so we can best support you throughout the hiring process.
