Top-tier/Exceptional Software Engineer
Joom · Lisbon
Joom Group is an international tech-centric group of e-commerce companies founded in 2016 in Latvia. We are here to transform the largest industry in the world, global trade, making it more transparent, efficient, and technology-driven.
Today, Joom Group brings together the following businesses: Joom, a platform for shopping from all over the world; JoomPro, the first end-to-end cross-border B2B marketplace, with successful operations in Brazil and plans to expand to other markets; JoomPulse, data platform that provides analytics and recommendations for marketplace sellers; and Onfy, a pharmaceutical marketplace in Germany. Joom Group’s offices are located in China, Brazil, Portugal, Latvia, and Germany, with headquarters in Lisbon, Portugal. We work as one international team, sharing knowledge and collaborating across countries, businesses, and products.
Our team is small and operates with high autonomy. We avoid the bloat of massive tech corporations. Instead, we empower individual engineers to solve problems that would typically require entire outsourced departments. At Joom, your work doesn't just improve metrics – it can fundamentally change the global trade.
