Global Fashion Group | Senior Software Engineer - Go/Golang | Berlin, Germany or HCMC, Vietnam | Hybrid | Full-time
Global Fashion Group, via its ventures Dafiti, Lamoda, Zalora, and The Iconic, is the leading fashion and lifestyle destination in growth markets. We are looking to hire several backend Software Engineers. There are multiple openings for either Berlin, Germany, or HCMC, Vietnam. Both job specs are linked below.
The roles are for the DataJet department, which is responsible for developing and maintaining the search and recommendation engine of our four ventures. If you are interested in backend engineering, with a focus on performance optimizations where you can apply your knowledge of data structures and algorithms, this would be a good fit.
I am the author of this article. In it, I describe the process I set up in my team to reduce technical debt. For context, when you take over an existing team as an external hire, in particular a team that has not had a dedicated manager for a while, you often face an uphill battle. One of the problems I had to tackle was reducing the technical debt of a core engineering team at Zalando. The challenge was to establish a process without being granted a sufficient time budget for technical debt. I originally wrote up my approach for our intranet a couple of months after I set up the new process. Recently, I was offered the opportunity to revise this article for Zalando's public engineering blog. I think it is most relevant for engineering managers working at fast-moving companies.
Zalando is the premier European fashion portal. Our goal is to become the starting point for fashion. We are also one of the biggest German companies. Our business is driven by technology. While we have many open engineering positions, this post is for a frontend engineer in my team. We are looking for a mid-career frontend engineer with a solid understanding of modern web technologies. You will work on a B2B web portal. More information can be found in our ad:

As I am the hiring manager, you are welcome to reach out with any questions you may have.

Klarna Bank (www.klarna.com) is a dominant payment service provider in Europe, and expanding rapidly. We have 3000+ employees and are valued at $5.5bn, which makes us the largest private FinTech in Europe. We are backed by Sequoia, among others.
- Software Engineer - Functional Programming: Erlang, Haskell, Scala, or Clojure, depending on the team
- Software Engineer - Python
- Software Engineer - Java
- Software Engineer - JavaScript
- DevOps Engineer
- Engineering Manager
There are also roles in Front-End/UX/Mobile (iOS & Android)/Design etc. The job specs on our website normally describe profiles rather than roles, so sometimes they don't give an adequate depiction of the work you'll be doing. Some of it can be very exciting. For instance, I work on a mission-critical distributed cloud application that processes over one million transactions per day. The available jobs vary, of course, but if you're at all curious about what we do, I can only encourage you to apply.
Currently, we're fully remote and are onboarding people from all over the world. Otherwise, our main engineering offices are in Berlin, Stockholm, and Milan. We sponsor visas and provide relocation assistance.

We currently work remotely. I do not know how long this will last. However, hiring and onboarding are continuing as usual, with the key difference that this is all done remotely as well. Right now, the procedure is that we send new hires their equipment. I'd recommend that you discuss this in your initial call with our internal recruiters as they know a lot more about those details than I do.
You'll have to discuss this with our internal recruiters after submitting an application. When I joined, it was not an option, but that was before Covid-19 and our switch to WFH.
