Our mission is to rethink online shopping and make it personal and seamless. This takes more than good ideas. It takes people who take initiative and challenge the status quo. We believe in flat hierarchies, direct communication, and pragmatic decisions. No long approval chains. Just ownership, trust, and clear responsibility. We work hard, but we also believe in enjoying the ride together - over team lunches, afterwork drinks, company events, or a quick coffee in between meetings. If this sounds like you, ABOUT YOU could be the right place to bring in your perspective.

  • Explore new technologies and methodologies, especially in the fields of machine learning and generative AI

Qualifications

  • 2+ years experience in building scalable APIs (e.g. using node.js, Python or Go)
  • Practical & recent experience with a typed programming language (e.g. TypeScript)

  • You write well-structured, efficient and maintainable code and actively keep the quality of the code base in check
  • You have excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
  • You are used to working in an English-speaking and agile environment 
  • You raise the bar of the software you work on

Nice to have

  • Experience with centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting solutions (Datadog)
  • Hands-on experience with a cloud ecosystem (e.g. AWS, GCP) and integration with orchestration services (like Dagster or Airflow)
  • Experience of running data processing pipelines using distributed data processing frameworks
