Heureka

Aug `23 - May `24

9 months

Heureka

Largest price comparator and shopping advisor in Europe.

Responsibilities & achievements

RoR applications supporting various B2B tools mainly focused on price comparisons for products of customers. The whole ecosystem includes scraping the competitors' e-shops, pairing competitors' offers with the clients’ products, and creating regular reports (dashboards) via various outputs (Excel, CSV, API, MS PowerBI). As the senior engineer, my main goal was to develop further existing applications, bring new ideas, and implement them. That includes the whole project lifecycle, making investigations into technical topics, defining stories, and subsequently slicing them to the tickets. Other responsibilities in the team were to help and review other colleagues' work or assist the PM on the call with customers.
