Software Engineer Search


Company Name: bol.com
Location: Netherland
How do you make our customers happy?

Our 10 million customers are all looking for that special something, either for themselves or as a gift. With a catalog of over 20 million products, that could turn into an unpleasant evening of searching for a virtual needle in a haystack. The fact that it doesn’t, and that our customers find exactly what they need with laser-guided precision, is down to your expertise. So on behalf of our customers: thanks!

The biggest challenge

At Search, we provide our customers with great search results by taking the basics of popular search engines and enhancing those solutions with the latest tools and techniques. Which is challenging work, because in the process everything still has to keep working. Can you prove that innovation and stability can ‘obviously’ go hand in hand?

Responsibilities

Your responsibilities as Software Engineer Search

As Software Engineer Search, you improve our search engine nonstop, both technically and functionally. And you clearly have affinity for this field, because your CV showcases your experience with major search solutions such as Elasticsearch, MongoDB and/or Solr! It’s up to you to strike the perfect balance between developing concrete, well designed solutions, and creating a structure in which they can be easily deployed and refined. Of course this responsibility doesn’t rest entirely on your shoulders. You’re part of a multidisciplinary team, consisting of data scientists, software engineers, interaction designers and analysts. And your colleagues all share your ambition to turn searching into finding, so that our customers get the results they want: the perfect product for themselves or a loved one.

3 reasons why this is(n’t) for you
  • Because you want to leverage your Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science to make the lives of our customers that tiny bit easier and more fun
  • Because you have 2 years work experience, preferably (also) in information retrieval/extraction and/or natural language processing
  • Because you understand that rapidly improving complex systems, that process huge amounts of data, may not compromise their stability
  • Because you don’t care to switch between different frameworks and technologies; you’re done learning and experiments aren’t your thing
  • Because you never considered that there’s any code behind that search bar
  • Because you think every problem can be solved with your personal favorite framework, language or solution option


Where you’ll work

As Software Engineer Search, you’re part of a team that provides constant (usually sensible and occasionally hilarious) feedback, which turbocharges your professional growth. The setting? Thinks ‘tech campus’, including a game room and soccer field! Bol.com embraces innovation. If you want to explore and experiment with new tools, go for it. Because despite our size, we haven’t fallen into the trap of trying to impose inflexible rules and traditional ways of working. We’re a market leader without that corporate vibe. Our strength is based on working together as equals and continuously learning from each other. You can accomplish great things by yourself as Software Engineer Search, but so much more with your colleagues.
