Your team

Our vision is to build an ultra-fast, use case oriented and context sensitive product search. Your task is to help us achieve exactly this! We have already started and now need you in our team.

What lies ahead for you:

• You will develop context-sensitive filters that help to find the perfect product! Our customer is looking for a spare part for their car? Then the compatibility is probably far more important than the colour. You recognise this and offer the right filters at the right moment.
• You want to provide the most important information about the product at the first glimpse! To achieve this, the product preview dynamically adapts to the category. Certain criteria are more important for clothes than for TVs. You are aware of this and ensure that only the relevant information is shown.
• Our search must respond breathtakingly fast! With the right infrastructure, freedom in development and good predictions thanks to our data scientists, you can achieve exactly that. You will build a product search that nobody needs to wait for.

We have the basis in place, but there is still a lot to do.

You promote an open and direct culture of communication. You work in a data-driven way, not an opinion-driven one. You test your work and provide customers with reliable products that meet their needs. You want to keep growing, just like us.
