Description For Backend Software Engineer

Catawiki is an innovative online marketplace specializing in special and unique objects, handling over 75,000 auctions weekly and serving more than 10 million monthly visitors. As a Backend Software Engineer, you'll join a dynamic environment working on high-scale, customer-facing challenges across their platform.

The role sits within one of three verticals - Demand, Supply, or Fulfilment - where you'll be responsible for building scalable, maintainable, and resilient microservices. Working in small, autonomous Agile teams, you'll collaborate closely with cross-functional team members to deliver product innovations.

The company offers a modern hybrid working model with 2 days in office, emphasizing both flexibility and team collaboration. Their tech stack is primarily Ruby-based, though prior Ruby experience isn't mandatory for passionate learners. The role involves end-to-end responsibility for microservices, from design to deployment and maintenance.

Catawiki stands out with its diverse, international environment of 850+ employees representing over 50 nationalities. They offer comprehensive benefits including health insurance, meal allowances, and a holistic wellbeing program. The company's culture strongly values ownership, openness to change, and passion for their mission and customers.

This is an excellent opportunity for a mid-level backend engineer looking to work on challenging problems at scale, with the added benefit of contributing to a unique platform that connects special objects with passionate collectors worldwide.
