Android Developer (AD 0123)
Skroutz S.A, Greece
Job Description
At Skroutz, we have one simple yet powerful vision: we aim to amaze. And this vision has been hardcoded into our DNA since day one. Back when we started our journey in 2005 as a price comparison engine, we created an innovative shopping tool for our users and shaped the future of e-commerce in Greece.
Today as the biggest marketplace in Greece, we continue to believe that happy customers equal happy merchants and it’s our job to understand and anticipate their needs and offer them an unparalleled, doubt-free experience. And to do so, we are always searching for new ways to make them say wow: Skroutz Plus (our first subscription-based service), Skroutz Last Mile (our parcel distribution company) and Skroutz Point (the first network of smart lockers in Greece) to name a few!
To create amazing experiences, we need amazing people! People that share the same passion and enthusiasm for eCommerce and technology as we do.
Sounds like you?

Technologies we use
Our main stack is Ruby for the backend - using the Ruby on Rails framework - with Javascript (ES6) and React/Redux for the frontend. Our main storage is a MariaDB cluster. We heavily use Elasticsearch, Kafka, MongoDB, Redis and Memcached. We use Jenkins for our CI and various tools like Sentry, NewRelic and Grafana for monitoring. Generally we try to pick the best tool we know or we can find that serves our needs. You can read more about what we have worked on our Engineering blog.
