Job description

Working as a Front-end engineer for AH Store Technology Platform means you build state-of-the-art apps, while creating an impact on tens of thousands of your colleagues. For this vacancy, we are looking for a medior React Native engineer for @AH: our internal employee app.

This is how you will reinvent food retail.

• You are involved from refinement to release and support of the employee app, used by 85,000 colleagues every week.
• Build code, implement and execute automated testing, ensure security, and code quality, contribute to best practices and deployments.
• Are a valued team member, that contributes and removes obstacles.
• Work closely with your fellow Engineers, Engineering Manager, Product Owner, and our development community.

You’ll join a divers and energetic team of eight engineers: four backend, three front-end and one QA. AI tooling is part of our daily work, and we use it deliberately, with a clear sense of where it helps and where it doesn't. What defines us is that we're there for each other, whether that's delivering product work, driving technical improvements, or contributing to the technical roadmap under the lead of our Engineering Manager.

Your new team and office.

Together with your team you will work on inspiring projects to accelerate our transition into a hybrid Food & Tech company. We want to leverage data and technology to future-proof food shopping and give our customers accessibility to healthy food more easily available for everyone. At Albert Heijn, you team up with inspiring peers in the data, digital and tech domains. A community of diverse individuals who share a common goal; to create digital solutions that make (online) shopping simpler and more inspiring. Are you ready to reinvent the way millions of people buy and enjoy their food? We invest heavily in data, digital and tech. And that includes investing in your career! Our teams work in a hybrid way: both from home as well as in the office. We are located right next to the train station Zaandam.

We think it’s important to be part of an high-belonging team; a team where you can be yourself and feel safe, accepted and appreciated. For this job we are preferably looking for someone who brings diversity in our team, in the widest possible sense. Someone that is a great addition to our team by bringing other ideas to the table.

What we offer.

At Albert Heijn we aim to grow, and this is only possible if you grow along with us. As we work together to build our brand and your career, you can count on (based on 40 hours per week):

• An annual salary up to 74K including holiday allowance and a flexible bonus. Depending on your experience;
• 45 days of paid leave to enjoy your well-deserved holidays: 25,5 regular vacation days and 19,5 ADV days. Enjoy!
• Flexible working hours;
• Access to a challenging training curriculum – AH Tech Academy;
• An excellent pension plan where we as an employer contribute 4,5 more than you as an employee;
• A travel allowance or a NS-business card for traveling to and from Zaandam by train;
• Attractive discounts on various insurance policies;
• 10% staff discount on groceries in all Albert Heijn stores, to a maximum of €300 per year;
• A free Mijn Albert Heijn Premium membership with many benefits;
• A company laptop and telephone.

The recipe for maximum impact:

• Strong understanding of React Native and its principles is a must (2+ years hands‑on)
• Familiar with app compilation, review and release in App- or Play Store.
• Passionate about tech and building products your colleagues love.
• Excellent communication skills, open, transparent and motivated
• CI/CD; not just understanding the concept, but proven to have used this in previous assignments.

Also great, but not required:

• Command of the Dutch language can be beneficial while communicating with colleagues from the stores.
• Experience with web technologies in general and the development of Progressive Web Apps
