Stockly - Software engineer (rust) - End of studies internship - Paris

Position

Our main language is Rust and run in Dockers hosted in the Cloud, and we are working to be compatible with different providers (AWS, Heroku, Azure, etc.). We develop using the Agile process with the help of Github and Notion for ticket management. We follow Google coding best practices (Mono-repo, micro-services, etc).

We are looking for someone tenacious & quick-learner, to learn and use these various technologies (no pre-requisite required). Here is a few of them:

• Rust

• PostgreSQL

• gRPC

• Docker

• NodeJS (Typescript & Javascript)

• Parallel computing

• Git

• Debian

Missions

There are several Tech teams at Stockly, here are some examples of what what they do:

Engine Team

Engine developers are those working on the primary services of Stockly, most of the time they build APIs for other Stockly services. Their work consists into the modelisation of complex situations (billing, operations, stocks, etc).

• Build new features in core services as Operations & Stocks (ex. Delivery Disputes, Product Pages, etc)
• Maintain core libraries (diesel, grpc, http-client, internal-error, etc)
• Build new core services (Auths, Retailers)

Meet Oscar, CTO of Stockly in this video.

Meet Sylvain, talking about the Engine team in this video.

Backoffice Team

Backoffice is made of both Frontend and Backend Software Engineers. Together they build Stockly’s internal interface to ensure lean and productive Operations.

In all of these teams, we tackle highly complex mathematical and technical topics (integration with many systems, real time updates, pricing challenges, millions of items to manage…). To address these, we are looking for passionate and motivated people!

Meet Camille, in charge of the team in this video.

Integration Team

Integrations are at the core of our network reliability, they work on data exchange and integration between Stockly’s network and partners

• Coding new integrations (API plug-in, Scrapers, File parsing, etc) and improving existing ones
• Coding and improving integration-focused libraries
• Fixing integrations (SIT)
• Updating partner technical configuration
• Owning integrations as tech referee for other teams/partners

Thomas, in charge of the team, has not yet agreed to appear before the WTTJ cameras. We’ll have to wait another year, sorry…

Challenges

Tackling an international market in a fast growing startup, you’ll have three main challenges:

• Complexity: a lot can happen in an e-commerce transaction, specially when you connect multiple players.
• Performance: Stockly manages tens of millions of articles, that’s a hell of a lot of web requests per day.
• Scalability: Being focused of growth, we require that published code still work with ten times more volume.

About how we work

• Every team has a daily meeting to align on priorities and solve issues ⇒ You won’t be left alone!

• Every Monday we have a global weekly meeting where every team shares what they are working on and what they will do for the coming week ⇒ You will have visibility on the whole company!

• Every quarter we have our OKR meeting (Objectives, Key Results) where each team shows the results of the previous quarter and the objectives of the following one ⇒ You will see the company grow and your own role inside of it!

• During all these meetings everyone can challenge each other and all questions are more than welcome ⇒ Transparency is one of our key values, and we are always open to new ideas!
