Fullstack Software Engineer (m/f/d) - Price Alert

At idealo, we help millions of users around Europe find the perfect moment to buy – so they never miss a great deal again. Our team is behind the Price Alert, Wishlist, and Price Chart: three core features that empower users to make smarter shopping decisions across web and app. From detecting the best deals to delivering timely notifications, we create meaningful experiences that inspire trust and drive long-term engagement together with our partner teams. 

We are looking for a Software Engineer (m/f/d) who is passionate about building new product features, enjoys working across disciplines, and is eager to continuously improve and learn together with their team. 

About your new role 

• You design, implement, and operate scalable services and APIs for price alerts, wishlists, and price charts, ensuring reliability and high availability. 

• You help design and optimize notification pipelines (app push, e-mail, etc.) to make sure messages are timely, relevant, and valuable to users. 

• You improve our price-based features (e.g., price history, alerts, and insights) by enhancing performance, data quality, and user experience. 

• You collaborate closely with Product, Data, App, and Web teams, conduct experiments/ A-B tests, and use data to make informed decisions that improve user engagement. 

• You contribute to our architecture, observability (monitoring and alerting), and CI/CD setup, with services running on AWS in a continuous delivery environment. 

Skills & Requirements 

Tech Skills 

• Solid experience in TypeScript, React, and Python, with a focus on building API-driven solutions (REST/JSON). 

• Practical experience in cloud environments (AWS), including infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and monitoring. 

• Understanding of scalable, event-driven systems (queues/streams) and asynchronous jobs. 

• Familiarity with data modeling for time series or historical datasets, and experience with both document-oriented and relational databases. 

• Nice to have: Experience with web/app feature integrations (wishlist, price alerts), experimentation/ A-B testing, or serverless architectures.

• You communicate feedback and new ideas openly and respectfully, helping us continuously improve. 

• Change and innovation are seen as opportunities – you’re curious, adaptable, and enjoy experimenting with new technologies. 

• Taking ownership of the quality, reliability, and performance of your work is something you care about.
