"OK, so what's in it for me?" 


  • Our A-W-E-S-O-M-E physical product creation process and the backend site of Displate.com - that’s your battlefield, we’ve got your back there!
  • Image recognition, recommendations. algorithms/ML, AWS Cloud, Docker. We’re crushing monolith into separate services (there’s still some legacy to get refactored - for us it’s not a dead weight but a great source for learning) 
  • We’re entering languages based on JVM: Java, Kotlin, Groovy. Don’t worry, we’re not throwing a tantrum over PHP - just expanding our tech stack. We support engineers in entering the world of Java - Spring, Micronaut, Spock, Junit and many others.
  • Scale? 1.5 million unique artworks in our system uploaded by 40k artists, 5 million posters sold worldwide. 
  • Challenges? Performance, scalability, distributed systems, breaking the monolith, integration with the production line and logistics, transforming ourselves into a technology company.
  • Software Craftsmanship and Clean Code are not just buzzwords here - we strive for top-notch quality at everything we do - as you’ll find out during our Code Reviews, we’re rather demanding ;) 
  • We approach Agile sensibly - SCRUM, incremental development and contact with our stakeholders without all the “hocus-pocus” parts
  • You’ll join a small team of 40+ people divided into cross-functional squads (frontend + backend devs, UX, analytics, QA, scrum master, product manager)
  • Step into a guild and feel at home! We love to share ideas and learn some good Frontend, Backend, QA, Agile within our small communities
  • We respect our time - even though we’re busy bees delivering loads of code. If you want to break free from being a deadline slave - boom, at Displate you’ll see the bright side.
