Are you passionate about the code behind our products?
Programming Languages
Java: Java is used by some of our Tech teams and supports us with components that have complex logic, usually in combination with Spring Boot
TypeScript: We use TypeScript combined with the React framework in the frontend and also on the server side with NodeJS
Python: We often use Python when processing or transforming data.
Frameworks
React: React is used when the performance of our solutions is important. Our B2C environment, in particular, benefits from React (shop profiles, trust badges, widgets, etc.)
Spring Boot: When it comes to complex business logic in Java and Kotlin, we use Spring Boot. It is deployed in ECS
NodeJS: Our focus is on serverless, and we often use typescript in the backend. We mostly use NodeJS in combination with AWS Lambda
Service & Tools
Circle CI: CircleCI is our CI/CD tool for automated builds, testing & deployment
GitHub: GitHub supports our internal open source policy and enables cross-team cooperation and feedback
Ansible: We use Ansible to provide our virtual servers in a repeatable and automated way
Terraform: Our AWS infrastructure is fully managed with Terraform. This allows us to keep a simple history of all changes and minimise the manual effort.
Databases & Hosting
DynamoDB: DynamoDB is often used to access large amounts of data in real time. We regularly use it with AWS Lambda to provide a scalable solution.
PostgreSQL/MySQL: If flexibility of data access is paramount, then we also use relational databases
AWS: For us, it's „cloud first“ so that we are able to scale the infrastructure of our products. Here we rely on services such as AWS Lambda, S3 and DynamoDB
Employee reviews
Dariia Spychak
Backend Developer
Right now we are working on a new major project for user management and permissions, which is interesting but also complex and has many aspects that will allow it to be integrated into other components. I really like the fact that, as developers within the team, we can decide which technology and programming language we want to use and how we structure the processes. This can sometimes be a challenge, but it helps us gain a lot of new experience. I can work on anything I want to learn about on self-learning days. And of course we have a very friendly and open working atmosphere. Team building events and mob/pair programming sessions also contribute to this.
Jan Beilfuß
Frontend Developer
I am currently working in the Review Insights team. In this product team, we work on frontends that help our customers, i.e. online retailers, to draw valuable information from the collected reviews. I have another colleague in the team from the front-end team with whom I work closely. This starts with the planning and discussion of solutions and ends with the joint revision of the written code. Overall, the working atmosphere at Trusted Shops is very pleasant and relaxed. Thanks to a specially developed platform solution, each product team can build its own micro frontends and is thus independent of the other product teams. This means that you are not restricted in your choice of framework, for example – however, we mainly use the common JavaScript frameworks. Personal development is also encouraged. This year, for example, I was able to take part in a one-week summer school on the topic of deep learning, and we basically have one day a month at our disposal to continue our education as we see fit.

Software Engineer
I'm Jasmin, a Software Engineer in the Questionnaire Team, and I've been with Trusted Shops since 2022. I build features that help our customers collect and use user feedback effectively, working closely with Product and Design from the first idea to golive. I love the mix of technical challenges, ownership, and seeing the real impact of our work. Our team is open, supportive, and collaborative – a place where questions and ideas are always welcome. Trusted Shops truly invests in personal growth and continuous learning. As a woman in tech, I feel empowered and well-supported, especially through initiatives like the Women in Tech Guild, which give us space to connect and shape meaningful change. Diversity isn't just a buzzword here – it's part of the culture.
Natalie Constandache
Product Manager
I'm Nata, Product Manager in the Questionnaire Team of the Business Domain. I've been at Trusted Shops since 2025 and I still notice how much I enjoy working here every day. What motivates me every day is our team. We have an atmosphere that doesn't feel like a given. People help each other, communicate openly and transparently, and you can tell that everyone wants to make an impact and build great products. You can feel exactly that beyond your own team as well. Collaborating with colleagues or other teams never feels like an effort, but like working together towards a shared goal. That makes all the difference for me. If you're looking for an environment where you can work with amazing people on meaningful products, I can wholeheartedly recommend Trusted Shops!

Because every customer has a unique set of needs, I always get the chance to dive deep into complicated and interesting technical challenges. Most of all, I appreciate the supportive and open atmosphere within the company. The team culture is built on mutual respect and knowledge sharing. Moreover, as a woman in tech field, I feel empowered here through various initiatives – from Women in Tech guild to Female Speaker Sessions.

Wiktoria van Harneveldt
Software Engineer
I'm Wiktoria, a Software Engineer in the Consumer Membership Team of the Consumer Domain. I started working at Trusted Shops back in 2022. I really appreciate the culture of fostering education at TPS, we get the opportunity to learn new things or get support to do that outside the company as well. I get to talk to people from different departments, which enables me to own my work and gather new experiences. The guilds at Trusted Shops are a great way to give back and help coworkers, like the Women in Tech or Frontend Guild. I recommend Trusted Shops to anyone who doesn't want to stop growing and wants to meet amazing people!
