Job description

Project Overview

Client is one of the leading meal kit companies. They are providing 111 million meals to 4.2 million households worldwide in 14 countries across 3 continents. From procurement tools to conversion rate optimization, live pricing tools, payment services and add‑on upselling features, the company works on a wide variety of challenging problems.

Now we are focused on creating internal tools for making supply chains more efficient and productive. There are some new incoming projects related to improving processes of comparing orders from the ordering tool (OT), goods received from the FCMS, and invoices from vendors. Some regions have developed stand‑alone tools (i.e. Shark in AU), however, those tools do not scale company‑wide and do not enable finance teams to work within the tools they are already using (i.e. Oracle).

Requirements

• 5+ years of On‑hand commercial experience with Kotlin
• Background working with event‑driven architectures using Kafka
• Experience with stream processing
• Kafka Streams Processor API experience
• Experience with Gradle
• Strong commercial JVM‑based engineering experience
• Experience working with Docker and container orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes
• Experience in CI/CD methods and DevOps practices
• Practical experience of TDD, BDD, DDD and distributed architectural patterns
• Experienced in end‑to‑end development processes, including unit, integration & functional testing, distributed architecture, application tuning/profiling, and continuous integration
• Experience working with relational and document databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB
• Solid back‑end experience within Microservice architecture using Kotlin and Java

Responsibilities

Our Backend Engineers assume development and operational responsibility for the HelloFresh platform that serves millions globally to deliver the best experience for our customers and internal users.

What you’ll do:

• Take ownership of the architecture, design, development, deployment and operations of the microservices you will develop, using DevOps practices, pair programming and other cutting‑edge methodologies
• Be an active, solution‑oriented member of autonomous, cross‑functional agile teams collaborating with Product Owners, Front‑end Engineers, Designers, and Business Intelligence teams
• Having an in‑depth understanding of HelloFresh’s core product and architecture, and act as an ambassador for software solutions offering support and mentorship to colleagues
• Work with state‑of‑the‑art technologies like Kafka, RabbitMQ, Spark, Kubernetes, Istio, and more
