Our Technology Team:
Our Technology team enjoy a challenge. They’re hungry to learn, and don’t hesitate to ask what, why, and how. They get to work with our unique, in-house database engine to create high-quality scalable code (just imagine, thousands of stores, millions of products, and billions of rows of raw data!) Their expertise positively impacts the environment and business processes around the world; alongside international colleagues, they drive change and develop solutions that become our pioneering end product. From functional programming, machine learning and interesting algorithms, to building big data pipelines, they’re behind it all. They can work in a flexible way, remote or in-office – after all, they contribute to all our achievements, so we reward them with genuine work-life balance and access to every opportunity.
Join us as a Java Software Developer in Helsinki or Lisbon, and this is some of what you’ll be doing:
- Developing different parts of the database, such as query engine, encoding/decoding, storage layer, concurrency and parallelism, query API, transactions, vectorization, optimizations, parsing, clustering etc.
- Profiling and improving performance
- Fuzzing (aka Fuzz Testing)
- Learning about database development
- Implementing new features based on business needs. Example: if data integrity in system integrations requires a new compare-and-set operation, then we implement it.
- Developing and maintaining software components primarily in Java, with some parts written in Kotlin, Scala, and JRuby.
- In our team you will be developing our in-house in-memory database that handles tens of billions of rows of data. Our database is deployed on a clustered platform, ensuring high availability and horizontal scalability. Emphasizing concurrency, parallelization, functional and immutable paradigms, and efficient memory usage, you'll thrive in our multi-core environment.
We’re looking for:
- Experience in developing database systems is considered a bonus
- Passion for implementing complex algorithms in Java and tackling non-trivial problems in a performant way.
- Solid understanding of data structures and their impact on CPU and memory usage (pros and cons different data structures have when it comes to CPU and memory usage and how to measure it)
- Experience with large databases is also valuable.
- Understand the importance of writing good covering tests and doing thorough code reviews
- Eagerness to learn and an open-minded attitude.
- Fluent English communication skills
