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.

The growth of the platform presents us with the challenge of making a growing number and variety of products on the marketplace as easy to find as possible.
In order to master this challenge, we want to redesign our existing product with technologies in the field of automation through artificial intelligence and machine learning.
You can help us with this and actively support us with your creative ideas and a lot of creative freedom in development.
