As a Backend Developer, you’ll join a continuously evolving, large-scale project that has been improving lives by connecting buyers and sellers for years.

These teams are designed to foster collaboration, autonomy, and ownership, enabling seamless end-to-end product delivery. Each team works closely with Data Science to solve complex challenges and deliver value to our users.

Along with the Croatian version of the application, a Slovenian version (Bolha) was also developed. Both versions of the application are developed from a single repository with a simple exchange of themes, currencies, languages and available features, which further facilitates simultaneous development on both platforms.
