About Zalando
Zalando is transforming from an e-commerce company into a multi-service platform that provides fashion as a service. We make it our mission to imagine and predict the infinite points of interaction between fashion and people - and develop the technology to make them possible. The 1000+ members of Zalando Technology build most of our products in-house and open source, from our logistics software to our mobile applications. We use Scala, Java, Clojure, Spark, React, Swift, and Docker- to name just a few.
Working at Zalando gives you the opportunity to experience the growth and opportunities that large companies offer, yet allows you to work in an environment where you start fresh everyday. When it comes to how we work, we believe that trusting each other is key. Through our culture of Radical Agility, we let the principles of Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose guide us. Our 90+ teams are made up of over 70 nationalities. Diversity is a key factor to our success - from the variety of skill sets and interests to the tools and languages our teams choose to use.
