OUTFITTERY is the biggest personal shopping service in Europe. We are a company for those who want a little more when it comes to their own style - more guidance and expertise, fewer rules and less routine. This is because we believe that style is an unfolding story. We aim to inspire and not dictate what to wear. We understand that style is a journey, and we are here to guide the way. Our every customer gets a personal selection of clothes, which our stylists create out of more than 100 brands – always having in mind the customers’ wishes and budget. In the end, the customers pay only for the items they keep. This way, we get closer to fulfilling our mission, which is to empower anyone to unlock their true style.
About the tech teams:
We are 35 engineers who work in teams of 5 to 7 engineers. We believe in keeping the teams small. Each team is responsible for their part of the platform - from concept through development until deployment and operation.
Our product managers are integrated into the dev teams and we work very closely together with our data scientists. Together we transform Outfittery towards a truly data driven vision that relies on machine learning algorithms to steer our business and thus our platform, too.
We’ve split this platform into ~60 microservices that communicate via direct REST calls and asynchronous messaging via RabbitMQ and Kafka. These services are written in Java, Groovy, and Kotlin. Our web applications use ReactJS. Overall we are pretty happy with this tech stack but we are planning to evolve that setup in the future. Currently we are in the process of migrating our deployment over to AWS. You could be part of the team as a Senior Java Backend Engineer (All genders).
This will be your responsibilities:
- Building new and contributing to existing features that enable our customers to unlock their style.
- Optimizing and automating processes to enable us to reliable scale our services for our customers and internal users.
- Ensuring documentation and specifications of technical features and projects within the team.
- Responsibility for your subject matters to continuously improve our code, processes and projects.
- Taking part in our software design evaluation process within the team.
This is what we like about people joining our team:
- You are familiar with current JVM stacks, having a proven track record of 2-3 years with Java and Spring Boot.
- Dedicated to delivering clean and stable code with experience in best practices for code review/pair programming.
- You have a DevOps mindset for monitoring and deploying code. Experience with cloud solutions (AWS, GCP, Azure) is a plus.
- Strong communication skills - fluent English is a must in our international team.
- Self-responsibility and being proactive with a sense for excellence.
