Our teams are driving change within our platforms, working with international colleagues and the latest tech stack to develop solutions that transform into a pioneering end product that’s tangible, impactful, and sustainable – for our customers and the world.
Our Technology Team
Our Technology team enjoys a challenge. They’re hungry to learn and don’t hesitate to ask what, why, and how. They create high-quality, scalable code (imagine thousands of stores, products, and rows of raw data!) Their expertise positively impacts the environment and business processes worldwide; they drive change and develop solutions that become our pioneering end product alongside international colleagues. From functional programming, machine learning, and interesting algorithms to building big data pipelines, they’re behind it all. They can work in a flexible way, remote or in-office – after all, they contribute to all our achievements, so in return, we provide a genuine work-life balance and access to every opportunity.
We’re looking for a passionate and talented developer to become a part of the Backend Team. Our team plays a pivotal role in shaping the user experience by being responsible for the APIs that fuel our web application. Among our exciting projects is the development of the new GraphQL API, written in Java, that powers new UI features. We also continue to maintain and improve our existing REST API, built on JRuby on Rails. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with Ruby. We place a higher value on a robust background in software development and an eagerness to embrace new technological challenges. Our seasoned team members are more than equipped to provide the mentoring you’ll need to get up to speed.

- Writing code and automated tests
- Doing code reviews, writing documentation, refactoring, bug fixes, improving code quality
- Participating in planning new features and solutions to identified issues
- Participating in and improving agile team practices.
- Collaborating within the team and with other internal teams
We’re looking for:
- A solid background in professional software development
- Proven track record in Java development
- Proficiency in Ruby is a plus, but eagerness to learn is key
- Appreciation towards clean and maintainable code and reliable software
- Interest in developing oneself and sharing knowledge with others
- Efficiency in verbal and written communication in English
What we consider as an advantage:
