THE ROLE AND THE TEAM
The ZEOS B2B Platform is the core engine that enables our partners to integrate and scale within the Zalando ecosystem. As a Fullstack Software Engineer, you will join an agile, cross-functional team dedicated to building the high-performance services that power our partner-facing products. We work in an API-first environment where we turn complex business logic into scalable, reliable software.
In this role, you will spend 80% of your time on backend development tasks and 20% on the frontend. You will develop and operate business-critical applications for our partners and internal stakeholders that process tens of thousands of events per second, powering the critical partner-facing backend APIs and web applications of the partner fulfilment domain. You will work with tools and technologies such as Java, Kotlin, PostgreSQL, AWS, and Kubernetes in building high-performance, low-latency systems to create an impact on customers and partners.
