Who we are
A piece of the moon, a complete
dinosaur skeleton, the Pope's hat, the world's smallest book - at
Catawiki, we come across extraordinary objects such as these every day.
As Europe’s fastest growing online
auction platform, our mission is to make special objects available to
everyone. In fact, 14 million users are buying and selling on Catawiki
every month. This means we are continually growing and always on the
lookout for new talent!
Born and raised in The Netherlands,
we started in 2008 as a platform where collectors could manage their
collections online. Yet, times change, ideas evolve, and in 2011 we
hosted our first online auction and we haven’t looked back since! We’ve
now grown to 500 Catawikians working across 7 international offices and
are proud to have maintained our start-up mentality.
What you will do
As one of the fastest growing Online companies in Europe, we offer a
unique opportunity for you, as a Ruby on Rails developer. The team
collaborates on solving some complex development tasks that result from
our continually increasing numbers of sellers and buyers (14 million
monthly visitors and rising!). We’ve already implemented localisations
for various European countries and will be expanding even further,
outside of Europe, in the near future.
That is why we need your help; we want to expand our team by
introducing even more expert knowledge. You will work on challenges
around scale, microservice architecture and implementing new features in
Product focused innovation teams in which Front-End developers,
Back-End developers, a Designer, a Data Scientist, and a Product Owner
all work closely together. We are driven by A/B-testing and automated
testing, which allows us to do multiple releases per day on our
high-traffic website.
You will work with Ruby on Rails, nginx, MySql, Redis, ElasticSearch,
Javascript, React, and Git in an agile development team of 60+
developers (and growing). We have headquarters in both Assen and
Amsterdam in The Netherlands.
