• A 16\" or 14\" MacBook Pro or corresponding Dell with Windows (if you don't like Macs) and all the necessary accessories.

• Social events for Allegro people - Spin Kilometers, Family Day, Fat Thursday, Advent of Code, and many other occasions we enjoy.
• And that's just the beginning!
• #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.

• 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.
