Our teams in ZMS own the platform which enables Zalando partners to run onsite advertising campaigns on the Zalando web and mobile apps. Our solutions help fashion brands to reach Zalando customers via authentic content, tell their story, provide inspiration and drive engagement. As a Software Engineer (Full-Stack) in the ZMS Consumer Experience team, you will develop solutions and create experiences for hundreds of partners and internal users and millions of Zalando customers, including customer-facing advertising formats featured on Zalando home and catalog premises, landing page experiences for brand storytelling, as well as partner-facing content and media management workflows. You will be working alongside a cross-functional team and collaborate closely with Product Managers, UX Designers, Frontend and Full-Stack Engineers, Data and Product Analysts, all collaborating to drive innovation and success. This is a full-stack role in the real sense, where the primary focus is on the backend, but there will be many instances where certain projects require pure frontend skills. Therefore, experience on both the backend and frontend are necessary to be successful in this role (think of it as a 60%:40% split backend to frontend).
Job Responsibility:
Design, build and evolve scalable full-stack solutions powering customer-facing advertising experiences and partner-facing content workflows used by millions of Zalando customers
Own backend-heavy features (around 60%) while confidently contributing to frontend development (around 40%) when strong UI and UX skills are needed

Break down complex problems into iterative, value-driven solutions while maintaining a high bar for code quality and simplicity
Share knowledge, mentor other engineers and contribute to technical discussions that shape the future of the ZMS Consumer Experience platform
Requirements:
4+ years of experience building full-stack web applications, ideally using Node.js and TypeScript
