Software Engineer- Fulfillment Execution in Berlin bei Zalando

The Role and The Team

Do you feel happy when shopping online and your order arrives the very next day, all articles in a single box? And do you get frustrated when every article arrives separately, some even late? We do as well! And our team - Fulfillment Execution - is tackling exactly this challenge. We build the software that decides how fashion items are moving inside Zalando's Europe-wide logistics network and how they reach your home.

Come and join us! As a backend engineer you will help us to speed up deliveries, avoid separate shipments, decrease our carbon footprint and reduce logistic costs. Together we are developing services which orchestrate every order of our 50 million active customers in the optimal way. With us you will work on highly critical systems at the heart of Zalando's e-commerce platform.
