Software Engineer 2 (Java/Kotlin) - Verticals

About the job:

Buying groceries, choosing a laptop and finding the right car part are different shopping challenges. We want the experience on Allegro to reflect those differences, combining the breadth of our marketplace with guidance and features tailored to each category.

We are looking for a Software Engineer to help develop these category-specific shopping experiences. Working closely with a Product Manager, UX, analytics and partner teams, you will help turn customer problems into reliable solutions - from early discovery through delivery and continuous improvement.

Here's why you should join us:

• Visible customer impact. Help customers find relevant products, understand their options and make more confident purchase decisions.
• Build within a large marketplace. Develop category-specific capabilities while working with teams responsible for shared Allegro services and experiences.

Important things for you:

• Flexible working hours in the hybrid model (4/1) — working hours start between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. We also have 30 days of occasional remote work.
• The salary range for this position depending on the skill set is as follows (contract of employment, tax-deductible cost):
  • PLN 14 600 - 20 825
  • Annual bonus (depending on your annual assessment and the company's results)
• Our team is based in Cracow and Toruń.

We are looking for people who:

• Code in Kotlin or Java and have experience with Spring Boot and Kafka to build robust backend systems;
• Care about code quality, building reliable solutions and actively sharing knowledge during code reviews;
• Take End-to-End Ownership: Take full accountability for your tasks - from initial technical analysis and estimation to final implementation, deployment and transparent documentation;
• A proactive approach to problem-solving, ability to think outside the box, and a passion for creating excellent user experiences;
• Are enthusiastic about AI and want to stay at the forefront of technical innovation;
• Experience with additional technologies (e.g. frontend, mobile or cloud) is a “Nice to have”;
• Are excited to join a growing team where they can influence the technical vision and help shape new projects from the ground up within the ecosystem;
• Are fluent in Polish and have a good command of English.

What's in it for you:

• Well-located offices (with e.g. fully equipped kitchens, bicycle parking, terraces full of greenery) and excellent work tools (e.g., raised desks, ergonomic chairs, interactive conference rooms).
• A 16" or 14" MacBook Pro or corresponding Dell with Windows (if you don't like Macs) and all the necessary accessories.
• A wide selection of fringe benefits in a cafeteria plan - you choose what you like (e.g., medical, sports or lunch packages, insurance, purchase vouchers).
• English classes that we pay for related to the specific nature of your job.
• A training budget, inter-team tourism (see more here), hackathons, and an internal learning platform where you will find multiple trainings.
• An additional day off for volunteering, which you can use alone, with a team, or with a larger group of people connected by a common goal.
• Social events for Allegro people - Spin Kilometers, Family Day, Fat Thursday, Advent of Code, and many other occasions we enjoy.

And that's just the beginning! You can read more about the benefits here.

#goodtobehere means that:

• You will join a team you can count on - we work with top-class specialists who have knowledge- and experience-sharing in their DNA.

• You will value our Developer Experience and the full platform of tools and technologies that make creating software easier. We rely on an internal ecosystem based on self-service and widely used tools such as Kubernetes, Docker, Consul, GitHub, and GitHub Actions.

• You will be equipped with modern AI tools to automate repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on developing new services and refining existing ones (also leveraging AI support).
• You will create solutions that will be used (and loved!) by your friends, family and millions of our customers.
• You will meet the Allegro Scale, which starts with over 1000 microservices, an open-source data bus (Hermes) with 300K+ rps, a Service Mesh with 1M+ rps, tens of petabytes of data, and production-used machine learning.

We create solutions we love (and can) to talk about!
