Permanent position
Hello, my name is Christian, and I’m the Director of Engineering for the Operational Procurement domain here at Unite.
Our teams own key parts of the customer journey – including user management, the shopping basket, checkout, and related services.
Our mission is to create a seamless shopping experience with strong conversion rates and to build a robust new Unite Procurement Portal (UPP). If you’re excited about working on business‑critical services and helping shape a product that facilitates thousands of orders every single day, we’d be very happy to meet you.
Are you ready to reinvent procurement? At Unite, we’ve spent over 25 years successfully working to make procurement in companies and public organisations better – digital, impactful and sustainable, powered by technology with principles. Our procurement solution, “made in Europe”, creates transparency, fairness and genuine data sovereignty. It is continuously developed by over 700 international employees who think boldly, take responsibility and celebrate diversity. If you truly want to make a difference, come on board and help us shape the future of procurement.

Your role

  • Be a team player: As a team within an agile environment, we work with a high degree of autonomy and strive to be a high performing, self-managed and self-organized team. We encourage Pair programming, mob programming - we work together and do things together
  • Add value: You develop and operate core services for our checkout and buyer user management, helping us finalize the UPP and close remaining feature gaps
  • Shape our engineering culture: You'll contribute to cross-team initiatives to define architectural guidelines, evaluate new technologies, and establish best practices
  • Craftsmanship: You'll foster a security-first mindset and ensure robust, reliable, clean and testable code
  • Cross-functional collaboration: You'll analyse complex business requirements and work in close cooperation with the product team to translate them into production-ready code

Your qualifications

  • Your background: You are experienced designing, developing and maintaining robust web applications in Java. You have a strong understanding of distributed systems, data modeling, and service-oriented and event driven architectures
  • Full‑stack mindset: You either bring experience with TypeScript and React, or you’re excited to learn and grow into our frontend tech stack; both paths are perfectly fine for us
  • Strategic thinking: You have the confidence and maturity to maintain and modernize business-critical legacy code
  • Ownership: You're proficient with DevOps tools and practices and experienced in supporting the operation of highly-available web services
  • Stay ahead of the curve: You stay curious, share knowledge, and use modern technologies; from cloud services to AI‑powered tools; to continuously improve the way we build software

What you can expect from us

  • Be a part of our agile working style: Our open communication and quick decision-making processes allow our teams to work autonomously for the most part.
  • We offer a flexible work location: You can work in one of our modern Unite offices or remotely – or even do a mix of both.
  • Workation: You can work abroad for up to 2 months, which is a great way to extend your time away or visit your family and friends in other countries.
  • Enjoy our Unite culture: We invite you to be yourself, join our table tennis league or online games and have fun.
  • We think long-term: You can and absolutely should invest an average of 10% of your working time into self-education and your own further training – that’s why we are great believers in offering creative freedom. You’ll also get access to our internal learning platform to grow your career.
  • Build with a rich and evolving technology ecosystem: AWS, Spring Boot, Kafka, Terraform or Wicket are just a few to mention. Also, we have a fully integrated CI/CD pipeline in GitLab.
