Company Description

Welcome to SMG Swiss Marketplace Group AG

We are a pioneering network of online marketplaces and a leading European digital company that simplifies people’s lives with forward-looking products.

A little bit about us to help ignite your imagination

SMG Swiss Marketplace Group AG came together following the merger of Scout24 Switzerland and TX Markets in 2021. A union which included some of Switzerland’s most well-known leading marketplaces.

Our exciting portfolio currently spans four business areas and includes Real Estate (immoscout24.ch, homegate.ch, ImmoStreet.ch, home.ch, Acheter-Louer.ch, Flatfox, Casasoft), Automotive (autoscout24.ch, motoscout24.ch, CarForYou), General Marketplaces (anibis.ch, tutti.ch, Ricardo.ch) and Finance and Insurance (financescout24.ch, Moneyland.ch).

At SMG Serbia, 130+ talents thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, guided by our values: Better Together, Aim High, and Act Responsibly, shaping the future of digital marketplaces.

Job Description

Two of our online marketplaces, Tutti.ch and Anibis.ch, are looking for a Backend Engineer to join their team. People first—that’s our thing at SMG. Say hello to Marina Stankovic, your hiring manager.

Job Description

How are we working in the tutti.ch/anibis.ch Backend Team? 💡

We work in stream-aligned product teams using the SCRUM methodology. Each team includes 2–3 Backend Engineers, a Product Owner, an Engineering Manager, Designers, and Mobile and Web Engineers.

Our setup encourages close collaboration with Platform (Infrastructure) and Data (BI)  teams, with domain ownership sitting firmly within each product team. Engineers are responsible for design, implementation, deployment, and monitoring.

We run Go-based backend services on AWS with Kubernetes, deploying daily to over 300k users. Code is reviewed and deployed directly from GitHub.

Our stack includes PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redis, SendGrid (emails), and Auth0 (authentication). We maintain high test coverage using tools like Testify, with integration tests for databases, Redis, and Kafka.
