Bordeaux is never boring
Lots of adventure.
Plenty to explore.
Bordeaux offers great food and great quality of life. It’s famous for wines and cheeses. Join us here, and you can work off a bit of lunchtime brie by biking back to the office along a moon-shaped harbor. For weekend excitement, visit the Pyrenees mountains, surfer beaches, and fairytale castles.
Your kind of culture
We’re here to SABOTAGE!
SABOTAGE! is our mantra. It keeps us focused on what we aspire to be: a little bit sneaky, always smart, kinda frugal and constantly conspiring to create maximum impact.
SABOTAGE! will save us all.
Sticking to this mindset is what will save us from boredom, save us from the pitfalls of hypergrowth, and save us from becoming a “corporation” in the evil sense of the word.
SABOTAGE! is our constant call to action.
It’s a reminder not to rest on our laurels or credit cards. It points us to where we want to go but also tells us to stay true to who we are.

“At Back Market, you feel that the founders and the employees
are very committed, and it’s powerful to be on that boat.”
Joana Costa, Senior Backend Engineer
It’s all about neat problems
Our SABOTAGE! spirit is about ingenuity and the love of a challenge. So, you’ll find us inventing new word plays for one of our ads or live streaming the Rubik’s Cube World Cup on a lunch break.
We move faster than the rest with rewards and a feedback culture
During an impromptu football match or a yearly growth report meeting, we’re inspired by giveaways, shares, and a culture of collaboration.
United we stand. Divided we fail to get to net zero.
We’re global citizens. At our All-hands annual party you could hear French, German, or Japanese, but in the office we only speak one language—the language of climate action.

An ambitious tech stack we’re continuously improving
Our ambitious objectives require the most powerful tech. The stack connects the latest software, frameworks, programming languages, and data storage solutions.
Better tech. Better world.
01
Think deep. Decide fast.
We think hard without overthinking. Prepare to be quick on your feet and able to adapt to constantly evolving situations.
02
This is Sparta.
Every Spartan raises their shield knowing that everyone else is relying on them to do their job well (if you don’t know what we’re talking about, 300 is on Netflix). Everyone’s work matters at Back Market.
03
Minimum resources, Maximum impact.
As you can probably tell, we aren’t big about waste. That’s why we will always prize the simple and nimble solution above a spendy one. Expect to get creative and to do more with less.
04
One loving and free spirited tribe.
We want to be a place where people can be themselves — unless that self is an a$$hole. Each person here can count on fair rules, fair pay, and fair say.
05
It’s not green enough.
This is self-explanatory. Just because our mission is a commitment to the environment doesn’t give us a free pass — there’s room for improvement. We know it and we’re reaching towards it one step at a time.
