About the job:
As a Software Engineer in the Technical Platform Team, you’ll play a key role in shaping the foundation of Allegro’s ecosystem. You’ll design and build core services that enable the entire Allegro business - from our internal event bus (Hermes) to our in-house OAuth2 standard implementation and beyond.

You’ll work on systems operating at significant scale (up to 1 million rps), tackle complex performance challenges, and directly influence the technical direction of our products. Check out the following blog posts to find out what kind of work might be waiting for you:

• Dynamic Workload Balancing in Hermes

• OAuth rate-limiting

• Hermes 1.0 released (2019)

We are looking for people who:

• Code in Java and/or Kotlin
• Can translate business challenges into microservice solutions and tackle them using novel approaches 
• Expect work that has a deeper meaning (not just "management commissioned"), and want to enjoy the results
• Want to be proud of the code they create. Are willing to accept feedback and share knowledge during code reviews
• Are able to look for effective solutions to user requirements
• Are willing to continuously develop and update their knowledge
• Know English at B2 level

What we offer:

• 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 love our level of autonomy in team organization, the space for continuous development, and the opportunity to try new things. You get to choose which technology solves the problem and you are responsible for what you create.

• 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. Thanks to this, you can contribute to Allegro from your very first days on the job. 

• 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. 

• You will become part of Allegro Tech - We speak at industry conferences, cooperate with tech communities, run our own blog (it's been over 10 years!), record podcasts, lead guilds, and we organize our own internal conference - the Allegro Tech Meeting. We create solutions we love (and can) to talk about!
