About the project

Our team builds backend services and data pipelines that help sellers dispatch orders on time, calculate shipment-performance scores, and connect tracking numbers to orders. We also own a few frontend components built with React. Our work spans Kotlin/JVM services, Scala/Spark data processing, and BigQuery queries and reports.

We’re looking for a junior software engineer who’s ready to contribute, learn, and grow with the team. You’ll take ownership of well-scoped tasks, with support from experienced engineers as you work across backend, data, and frontend systems.

Your responsibilities

• Build useful things: Turn product and business needs into tested, maintainable software, working closely with the team.
• Learn how our systems fit together: Develop your skills in Kotlin and JVM technologies, contribute to our services and React components, and learn the Scala, Spark, and BigQuery tools used in our data work.
• Help keep things reliable: Write tests, take part in code reviews, and learn how we monitor and support the systems we build. You won’t join on-duty shifts when you first start. We’ll introduce them after onboarding, once you and the team agree you’re ready.
• Work with modern tools: We use industry-standard AI coding assistants to support our development workflows.

#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!
