OUTFITTERY is one of the biggest personal shopping services in Europe. We’re for those who want a little more substance from style, more guidance, and expertise - less rules and less routine. Because we believe that style is an unfolding story. We aim to inspire and empower - not dictate what to wear. We understand that style is a journey, and we’re here to guide along the way. Every customer gets a personal selection of clothes, created by our stylists out of more than 100 brands - always considering wishes and budget. Customers only pay for what they keep, without any service fee. Our mission is to empower anyone to unlock their true style.

Would you like to work on a variety of tasks, take over responsibilities and gain strong insights into an E-Commerce company, all of this in a diverse and international team? You could be part of it as a Team Lead Software Engineering (all genders)

About the tech teams:

We are 35 engineers who work in teams of 3 to 6 engineers. We believe in keeping the teams small. Each team is responsible for their part of the platform - from concept through development until deployment and operation.

Our product managers are integrated into the dev teams and we work very closely together with our data scientists. Together we transform OUTFITTERY towards a truly data driven vision that relies on machine learning algorithms to steer our business and thus our platform, too.

We’ve split this platform into ~60 microservices that communicate via direct REST calls and asynchronous messaging via RabbitMQ and Kafka. These services are written in Groovy, Java, and Kotlin. Our web applications use ReactJS. Overall we are pretty happy with this tech stack but we are planning to evolve that setup in the future. Currently we are in the process of migrating our deployment over to AWS.
