We’re Adevinta, a global leader in digital marketplaces. Our household name brands, including Marktplaats in the Netherlands, mobile.de in Germany and leboncoin in France, reach hundreds of millions of people every month.
We’re all about matchmaking, and our sites help people find whatever they’re looking for in their local communities – whether it’s a car, an apartment, a sofa or a new job. Every connection made or item found makes a difference by creating a world where people share more and waste less.
Our brands are supported by global Tech Hubs in Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin. Their goal is to develop common global products and innovation platforms which all of our brands can use. This means using cutting edge technology to create highly scalable, customisable and secure products and components that free up development time and leverage our access to global data.
What you’ll do & Who you are
The Knocker team runs the platform that is currently sending 1.1B+ notifications per week to millions of users. We work closely together with Product and Data specialists to design and develop top-of-the-line software products and provide the best experience to 16 different marketplaces. The notifications squad is looking for enthusiastic engineers who don’t shy away from big technical challenges to join the team and help bring the product to the next level.
What you'll do:
- Help build state of the art systems that have real revenue-generating impact
- Design and implement highly scalable solutions using the best development practises and tools
- Help further improve our development environment and communicate the best development practises within the team (i.e. code reviews, testing, etc)
- Continuously monitor the quality of our systems and design measurements to monitor their health (both the engineering systems and data integrity)
- Keep on top of the latest and greatest development trends in distributed systems and the cloud
- Work closely with other teams (Stakeholders, Data Science, Product and UX) at Adevinta to drive product development
- Be curious: experiment with new solutions yet be pragmatic and committed to code optimisation, maintainability and quality
