As part of our ongoing efforts to promote diversity and inclusion, and increase the number of women in tech, Zalando is launching the GroWIT (Growing Women in Tech) initiative for working students that helps women launch a career in tech. GroWIT offers a series of software engineering internships specifically to people who identify as women and look to jump-start their career in tech.

Zalando fulfils more than a hundred million customer orders every year and volumes are increasing. Fulfillment Core within Zalando builds and operates systems that are at the core of Zalando’s platform strategy and ensure timely, efficient, and correct delivery of every one of our customers’ 185+ million orders every year. 

Do you feel happy when shopping online and your order arrives the very next day, all articles in a single box? And do you get frustrated when every article arrives separately, some even late? We do as well! And our team - Fulfillment Execution - is tackling exactly this challenge. We build the software that decides how fashion items are moving inside Zalando's Europe-wide logistics network and how they reach your home.

Come and join us! As a Working Student you will help us to speed up deliveries, avoid separate shipments, decrease our carbon footprint and reduce logistic costs. Together we are developing services which orchestrate every order of our 50 million active customers in the optimal way. With us you will work on highly critical systems at the heart of Zalando's e-commerce platform.

INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN

At Zalando, our vision is to be inclusive by design. And this vision starts with our hiring - we do not discriminate on the basis of gender identity, sexual orientation, personal expression, ethnicity, religious belief, or disability status. You are welcome to leave out your picture, age, or marital status from your application. We only assess candidates on their qualifications and merit. 


We want to provide you with a great candidate experience.
