Wallapop is a Barcelona based scale-up driven by the purpose to empower people to embrace a more conscious and human way of consumption. We believe in a world where collaborative economy is mainstream. This is what drives us.
Wallapop operates in Spain, Italy and Portugal, offering a catalogue of several hundreds of millions of products and services. Powered by technical innovation and continuous improvement, we bring together the scale & trust of classifieds with the marketplace’s convenience & reach. Our mission is to enable a connected trade ecosystem, making 2nd-hand the norm through smart use of technology.
Backed by top investors such as Accel, Insight Partners & Naver Corp we bring our total valuation to 690 million EUR and are embarking on our international journey with the aim to become the world’s best unique goods trading platform.
The challenge
Some of the interesting things we are currently doing include finding new ways to handle the complexity or improve resiliency. We use many different AWS technologies (computer, storage ...) to archive our goals. As a Wallapop Backend engineer, we have ownership of the team microservices, so we really embrace the DevOps philosophy (optionally backend staff is who is on duty). Our main parts of our stack are:
- Java & Kotlin
- Spring & Axon Framework
- RabbitMQ
- MySql, DynamoDB, Redis & Memcached
- Docker
- ElasticSearch & Solr
- AWS: S3, ECS, CloudWatch, RDS, CloudFormation, Lambdas & more
What You Will Do
- Writing Java or Kotlin code, depending on the team the stack could change a little bit
- Developing new features following DDD (tactical design and strategical design)
- Tackling legacy parts
- Testing all the things! Testing is a must, especially if you want to avoid those friendly reminders during the code review
