Job Description
OTTO is one of Europe's most successful e-commerce companies. With more than 10 million items from over 7,000 brands, otto.de is now one of Germany's leading online shopping platforms. As a marketplace, we are constantly operating with brands and partners, so we keep growing. Resting? Not our thing! Not yours either? Then come on board - and shape the future of e-commerce with us.

Diversity belongs to us like the river Elbe belongs to Hamburg: We stand up for openness, respect and tolerance. Let's set sail together - regardless of where you come from, who you love or what you believe in. Because you are unique and that's what we are looking for.

With us, you can contribute ideas and drive projects forward, get involved in networks for your heart's desire and actively shape our corporate culture. Trying something new, think in new ways, be innovative, go above and beyond your own borders - that's our mindset. Let's achieve great things together. Whether you work on campus or at home. Make OTTO your playground.

OTTO Advertising is one of the three strategic pillars of the new OTTO platform business model. Advertising marketing is of strategic importance for the company's success. Our customers are advertisers and media agencies as well as retail agencies. Search, social, now retail media is one of the most important marketing trends worldwide. We offer advertisers and agencies full-funnel solutions and use our first-party data and insights to reach target groups at the right time, in the right place and with the right message.We offer managed and self-service advertising products on and off-site to help advertisers achieve their goals.

We in the Salesforce team are at the heart of OTTO Advertising. Our product is at the heart of advertising campaign management. As such, we make a significant contribution to the success of OTTO Advertising. The quality of the product is therefore very important to us. Are you familiar with TDD, clean code or names like Kent Beck and Martin Fowler? Do you have an agile mindset and value best practices such as pair programming and code reviews? Then you've come to the right place. We need you to establish this mindset in our team.

Many people talk about "home office" - we talk about "hybrid or mobile work": We have opted for primarily mobile work and come together once a month for a campus day in Hamburg.
