The Role

We have ambitions to continue our international expansion and punch above our weight on the eCommerce scene. And for this, we need a pragmatic & experienced engineer to join our Customer Engagement team and help us drive these plans. How to do this, you ask? The Customer Engagement team owns our Customer Domain services and part of the React frontend. You will work with both the usual authentication flows as well as the exciting gamification features. As you can imagine, we work on a big platform with several microservices that connect and react to each other. We have plans for refactoring old services and forward-looking plans to make the bidding process even more exciting and increase customer engagement. And this is why we need you.

• Leading by example. Strong desire to improve the status quo, to achieve results, and to make an impact for your customers. You own the code and the technical solution, and this is normal for you.

• Solid understanding of NoSQL data stores (eg Redis) as well as WebSockets connectivity.
