Software Engineer 2 (Java / Kotlin) - Product Catalogue

About the job:

-
Massive Scale: Design, build, and optimize systems that handle thousands of requests per minute. This is high-availability, high-performance engineering in practice.

-
Modern Tech Stack: Work with a world-class, cloud-native environment. Our core technologies include Kotlin, Spring, Kafka, Kubernetes and GCP Agent Platform. We're not shy when it comes to ML too :)

-
True Ownership & Autonomy: We live by a "you build it, you run it" philosophy. You'll join an agile, autonomous team with full ownership of your microservices, from design to deployment.

-
Complex Challenges: From distributed systems and data streaming to algorithmic optimization, you'll tackle the complex backend problems that power a massive, real-time marketplace.

In our domain, we focus on solutions centered around the product catalogue, a critical component within Allegro's core partner journey and a key driver in the professionalization of the entire platform. We approach quality with particular diligence to ensure stability, scalability and simplicity of the offer listing process. Moreover, product catalogue data quality is crucial for correctness of internal Allegro processes. We work in cross-functional teams where various technologies collaborate closely to deliver the highest quality solutions to our users. Our teams consist of backend engineers and frontend specialists supported by project managers, UX-designers and data scientists.

We are looking for people who:

Can translate user requirements into effective solutions, paired with an AI-open mindset;

-
Want to constantly develop and update their knowledge;

-
Know English at least at B2 level.

What’s in it for you:

Well-located offices (with e.g. fully equipped kitchens, bicycle parking, terraces full of greenery) and excellent work tools (e.g., raised desks, ergonomic chairs, interactive conference rooms).

-
A 16" or 14" MacBook Pro or corresponding Dell with Windows (if you don't like Macs) and all the necessary accessories.

-
A wide selection of fringe benefits in a cafeteria plan - you choose what you like (e.g., medical, sports or lunch packages, insurance, purchase vouchers).

-
English classes that we pay for related to the specific nature of your job.

-
A training budget, inter-team tourism (see more here), hackathons, and an internal learning platform where you will find multiple trainings.

-
An additional day off for volunteering, which you can use alone, with a team, or with a larger group of people connected by a common goal.

Social events for Allegro people - Spin Kilometers, Family Day, Fat Thursday, Advent of Code, and many other occasions we enjoy.
