at SMG Swiss Marketplace Group
Full TimeWelcome to SMG!
Swiss Marketplace Group AG focuses on simplifying lives with innovative digital products, transforming industries, and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Formed in 2021 through the merger of Scout24 Switzerland and TX Markets, SMG operates across real estate, automotive, general marketplaces, and finance & insurance sectors.
Why work for General Marketplaces (GM)?
Ricardo, tutti.ch & anibis.ch are services with a positive impact on the world. Reducing waste by giving second-hand items a new home is a cornerstone of sustainability. Today there are already over four million people using Ricardo, tutti & anibis but we are not done yet. We are working hard on making it easy for everyone to participate.
We have modern tech-stack and interesting challenges ahead. We know that keeping up with technology is no easy feat, which is why we have dedicated training and conference budgets for every engineer.
What is GM Engineering?
You will be part of GM Engineering specifically on the tutti & anibis applications. We have 3 remote-friendly teams working in various domains. Each team consists of ~7 engineers located in five countries (Switzerland, France, Germany, Serbia, Vietnam).
Each engineering team has the following 2 main responsibilities:
As a Senior Front End Engineer you’ll be part of many aspects of the engineering cycle. You’ll develop and design software. Knowledge sharing is equally important, this includes code reviews as well as Front End Guild contributions, so be expected to mentor peers and other engineers. We have a view of leaving the codebase in a better state than how you found it, so continual code improvement will be part of your day to day.
How do we work?
We are a team distributed over multiple locations. Therefore, our default work mode is asynchronous. We write a lot and try to communicate as concisely as possible. We limit our ”Work in Progress” so that you can focus on the task at hand.
Usually, work is assigned to two people so that you always have a sparring partner. This gives you the flexibility to plan the work as you see fit and to pair when needed. It is also a great way to share the knowledge in the team.
Every day we have a short (15-30 min) team daily, where we sync with each other on what we worked on, highlight any blockers we’ve encountered or share what we've learned.
Because the activities on tutti & anibis never stop, we have to keep the lights-on 24/7. For that we have a mature on-call organisation.
What we are looking for:
Engineers are expected to be proficient in their technology, IDE & operating system of choice, we do not dictate your exact tooling, but you need to be comfortable to perform all aspects of the engineering process efficiently.
We are looking for someone with strong experience in modern JavaScript tech e.g React, NodeJS, working with APIs, as well as working knowledge of CI/CD processes. Additionally, experience with working in distributed systems running on Kubernetes on AWS would be a plus.
Our ideal candidate would be self-organised and independent, they would be given a general task or direction, and as part of their due diligence they would uncover, and execute on what is needed to get from point A → B. When you notice a problem, you don't look the other way; you either fix it or come up with a plan. You are curious and want to understand how things work. You are not afraid to ask for help and you are willing to help other engineers.
We know engineering is a vast field, and nobody can know everything, but you should be familiar with some of the following tools and technologies:
Benefits you’ll love
