Jobbeschreibung
OTTO is one of Europe's most successful e-commerce companies. With more than 10 million items from over 7,000 brands, otto.de is now one of Germany's leading online shopping platforms. As a marketplace, we are constantly operating with brands and partners, so we keep growing. Resting? Not our thing! Not yours either? Then come on board - and shape the future of e-commerce with us.Diversity belongs to us like the river Elbe belongs to Hamburg: We stand up for openness, respect and tolerance. Let's set sail together - regardless of where you come from, who you love or what you believe in. Because you are unique and that's what we are looking for.
With us, you can contribute ideas and drive projects forward, get involved in networks for your heart's desire and actively shape our corporate culture. Trying something new, think in new ways, be innovative, go above and beyond your own borders - that's our mindset. Let's achieve great things together. Whether you work on campus or at home. Make OTTO your playground.
As a central part of findability, we help customers find what they are looking for on otto.de. Team Nucleus is responsible for the central retrieval engine based on Apache Solr. The team has adapted Solr to the needs of a modern e-commerce platform and is constantly developing the current version of Solr. The team has created an infrastructure around Solr for indexing, shard balancing and querying with its own Java services. We are a team with many experienced developers who are actively involved in the further development of the platform. We are responsible for the operation of the platform as well as for architectural decisions that are made within the team.
Many people talk about "home office" - we talk about "hybrid or mobile work": our teams decide together with their manager what balance of mobile working (remote) and on-site presence makes sense for them. We currently meet once a month for two days in Bramfeld on the Otto Campus.
Tech stack:
- Apache Solr | Java | Spring Boot | AWS | Terraform | Github Actions | Prometheus | Grafana
- You will develop the core of the Solr search on a highly available, high-performance system.
- You are not only responsible for the software, but also for the operation of the search system hosted in AWS.
- You will design and develop new services that further improve the search platform
- You will be part of a cross-functional team that uses agile methods such as Kanban, pair programming and test-driven development.
- With us, it's what you say that counts, not who says it. Thanks to our flat hierarchies, you have a lot of freedom to shape things and take responsibility.
Not sure whether the position is right for you? - We will be happy to put you in touch with Christian Junghans from the specialist department. Would you like to experience your future team and workplace first-hand? - You will have the opportunity to do so at a later date as part of your application process.
Must-have:
- Many years of experience in the development and operation of search technologies in a complex, decentralized environment.
- Very good Java knowledge (17+) and confident with Spring and other Java frameworks.
- DevOps knowledge (e.g. Python, Bash, Git, Docker, CI/CD).
