Come join the Data Platform & Services Team as we build the data service layer which empowers our internal community of over 1000 professionals across data, product, marketing, and tech in the thriving ecosystem that is OLX.

We’re looking for a passionate Software Engineer Trainee to join us in our technology hub in Poland. You will work in an agile, well-established, and cross-functional central team composed of experienced product managers, backend and frontend software engineers, and data engineers. Our mission is to provide data tools and services enabling other teams to better achieve organizational success; we give our stakeholders what they need, as well as what they don’t know they want.

As a Software Engineer Trainee, you will be responsible for building, maintaining, and supporting systems related to data collection, data governance, consumption, and data services. Our solutions cover tracking collection tools (SDKs, collection services, and database replication), internal UIs to manage access and configuration, and data services like experimentation (A/B testing), generic data serving, and ML model serving.

You will work closely with the data and product teams to deliver an integrated technology & big data solution, as well as cooperate with the regional OLX technology teams to roll out the services on OLX products around the globe to millions of users.

What we offer:

• Being a part of an experienced, international, ambitious product team with diverse technical and cultural backgrounds

• Development of your skills in a fast-growing, global e-commerce leader

• Custom-built learning & development plan to make sure you succeed in your journey

• A dedicated design mentor who will support you on a daily basis

• Fun and informal culture - getting stuff done and enjoying the ride is far more important than rules and hierarchies

• More career opportunities after the internship in the diverse world of OLX

• Competitive salary plus other perks and benefits

Our special one profile:

• A team player with high learning agility, who is customer-centric and passionate about their craft
• Someone curious, proactive, and communicative will fit right in
• A person with basic knowledge of the frontend ecosystem (e.g. how HTML/CSS work, client, and browser interactions, what cookies are for, …).
• Even better (not necessary though) if you had a chance to try Typescript, Vue, React, RESTful APIs, Figma (or any other design tool)
• Open to exploring more about frontend technologies
• Comfortable with computer science fundamentals and programming practices
• Loves learning because continuous learning is key to success
• Eager to give and take from a diverse Engineering community
• You live in Poznan or Warsaw (or close by) and can go to the office 2/3 times a week

What will happen next?

• After you send us your application (in English) we will carefully review your CV

• In case we decide to proceed, you will be invited to a call with one of our recruiters

• After that, the next stages would include 2 interviews with our engineering team

• If everything goes well we will be more than happy to welcome you on board!
