We are currently expanding our Engineering team and are looking for new Software engineers. The salary starts at €2,500. Could you be one of them?

About your role and the team:

The purpose of the Data pipeline team is to ingest a large amount of data into our application reliably and at a high rate. As a member of our team, you could work on components that need to scale to process tens of thousands of requests per second. We scale our microservices horizontally to tens of instances thanks to Kubernetes and Google cloud. Our microservices push data through Kafka and use many storages like Redis and Mongo.

If you are passionate about scaling, microservices, pushing the performance to the limit, and you want to work with distributed systems, the Data pipeline team is the correct team for you.

Your daily routine in our team may include:

• Developing and maintaining our components to be more reliable, maintainable,  and scalable.
• Collaborating on the design of distributed, business-critical systems.
• Working together with DevOps engineers to monitor and improve our components in production.

What you might like about this role

We have one of the best Customer Data and Experience Platforms (CDXP) in the world. Our clients love what we do, which is reflected in our high Net Promoter Score. You can participate by suggesting new product features and ideas.

When we work on projects we work together on the solution with product, security, and business to deliver the right solution at the right time. You will have a great impact on what we build and how we build it.

Our biggest challenge is our growth. We need to constantly think about how we can make our services robust, scalable, reliable, and at the same time how to keep the maintenance low.
