Senior Software Engineer

at  Bloomon

bloomon is turning the flower industry on its head – for the better. How? By disrupting the traditional supply chain! We skip the auction and wholesale, to shorten the journey for our flowers. And we harness technology, brand and innovation to deliver gifts and subscriptions that delight our customers across Europe.
We launched in Amsterdam in 2014, and in 2021 joined forces with Bloom & Wild, the UK’s fastest growing ecommerce company (according to the Financial Times). Our group is backed by top tier investors and is now home to a family of 3 strong brands, Bloom & Wild, bloomon and Bergamotte. Together, we’ve delivered over 20 million orders (and counting!), making us the largest direct to consumer flower business in Europe.
Our vision is to create the destination for making life a little more thoughtful and beautiful. And we won’t stop at flowers and plants. Starting with the Bloom & Wild brand, we’re expanding our gifting offering to other categories like cakes, candles and cocktails. This is all part of our ambition to build Europe’s #1 direct to consumer gifting destination.

We care wildly about people and our planet. Which is why we’re so proud to be a certified B Corp™ – committed to making long-term positive change for our community, and the world around us.

• ️Technology at Bloom & Wild

Here at Bloom & Wild the Product Engineering team is organised into cross functional squads, each responsible for a business and architectural domain. They are supported by Platform and Data Engineering and are part of the wider Technology team.
You’ll be part of the Production & Procurement squad, a cross-functional squad working within our Ops-Tech team. The primary focus of the squad is our internal systems that facilitate daily operations within our multiple warehouses (for example the production of bouquets and fulfilment of orders). This is one of the most unique and innovative areas of our business, and as our business continues to experience significant organic and inorganic growth, we have ambitious plans to innovate and scale our operations further.
We work with some great technology; our stack consists of a number of Python-based (micro-)services with React frontend, currently running on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You’ll work on multiple services used by the people working in our warehouses..
Most of our team is based in the UK or the Netherlands and works in a flexible model, with choice in how often they travel to the office. Our squads meet all in person at least once per quarter in order to maintain connections, collaborate on larger projects and have fun together.
