About the position

As part of our international website development team, you will be involved in the development and enhancement of our public-facing websites targeting specific countries and regions globally, and/or surrounding systems for them. Our websites are some of the leading digital marketplaces for users looking to buy and sell different types of equipment or items in the markets we serve. In this team, you will have an opportunity to make a big impact on how millions of users interact with our sites, and make improvements to help drive more traffic to new and existing sites through UX improvements, localization, and SEO. A lot of effort and focus is put on localizing content for the given market and region, and we continually work on improving existing features or building new dynamic ones that allow us to localize the content based on the target region for a website. Our team works in an agile environment and takes an iterative approach to developing solutions. We also run in a modified scrum framework that fits our SDLC. We utilize in-house developed, easy-to-use tools for managing the backlog, planning, and day-to-day work. Our teams are highly collaborative and take a team-oriented approach to development.
