About the team

As part of the Data & AI area, we implement projects based on the practical "data science" and "artificial intelligence" applications of an unprecedented scale in Poland. Data & AI is a group of over 150 experienced engineers organized into over a dozen teams with various specializations. Some of them build dedicated tools for creating and launching BigData processes or implementing ML models for the entire organization. Others work closer to the client and are responsible for the implementation of the search engine, creating recommendations, building a buyer profile or developing an experimental platform. There are also research teams in the area whose aim is to find solutions to non-trivial problems requiring the use of machine learning.

We are looking for BigData engineers who want to build a highly scalable and fault-tolerant data ingestion for millions of Allegro customers. The platform collects 5 billion clickstream events every day (up to 150k / sec) from all Allegro sites and Allegro mobile applications. This is a hybrid solution using a mix on-premise and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services like Spark, Kafka, Beam, BigQuery, Pubsub or Dataflow.

We are looking for people who

• Are programming in languages such as Scala or Java, Python

• A wide selection of varied benefits in a cafeteria plan – you choose what you like (e.g. medical, sports or lunch packages, insurance, purchase vouchers)

• English classes that we pay for related to the specific nature of your job

• Macbook Pro / Air (depending on the role) or Dell with Windows (if you don't like Macs) and other gadgets that you may need

• Working in a team you can always count on — we have on board top-class specialists and experts in their areas of expertise

• A high degree of autonomy in terms of organizing your team’s work; we encourage you to develop continuously and try out new things

• Hackathons, team tourism, training budget and an internal educational platform (including training courses on work organization, means of communications, motivation to work and various technologies and subject-matter issues)
