At Zalando AdTech Lab Hamburg, we develop techniques to predict the future behavior of consumers based on their interaction history on Zalando with the goal of delivering better consumer experiences. Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) , one of the major classes of deep learning methods, offer us two benefits: (1) By processing raw consumer histories, RNNs provide accurate prediction models without requiring tedious feature engineering efforts. (2) Furthermore, we can interpret their reasoning when

At Zalando, we try to live a mentality of failing fast. The context here is not a failure of the person or the group involved, but rather a chance to learn from the mistakes that were made. If you fail fast, you are also able to right the wrongs much quicker. Failing fast can be a golden opportunity, and our team (Team Sokoban) tried to apply this mentality during the beginning of our stock rebuild.

5G technology is soon approaching. On the suppliers’ end, for Zalando and other companies, this will bring about faster responses and speedier service delivery. On the consumer's’ end, a wider range of products and services will be made available. Due to improved speeds and lower latency from 5G, processes can be expedited, for instance including payment verification and order identification, which means same day delivery of in-stock items becomes the norm in the 5G age. 5G is another step up in

We started our migration from “Jimmy”, our monolithic shop application, to microservices more than a year ago. We had lots of fun with this project from the beginning of it, with us, Team Spearheads, discussing potential ideas about what to do and how to do it, and then quickly “cowboy coding” some prototypes. Now that the project has become more mature, our challenges have changed from prototyping to optimizing for performance; from “cowboy coding” to providing stable components for other teams

In Germany, like in most other Western European Countries, the proportion of women studying computer sciences is about 10-20% – very low. Some of the main reasons are the bad reputation of programmers, still often tagged as “nerds”, the missing female role models in the tech scene, and the lack of a space to learn without pressure in a supportive environment amongst others in similar positions.
