Job description

Software Engineer - Warehouse Systems

Our Java teams in the Warehouse Systems domain are the reason why our warehouses can process the volume of groceries they do! From dealing with inbound items, to ensuring the stock count reliability, to sending the groceries off to our delivery drivers - our software developers build tools and automations to power the entire warehouse platform. Through designing, developing, and testing new features, or improving the scalability and security of our platform: you’ll be managing individual project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables, while finding yourself fully immersed in an engaging scaleup culture.

Tricks of the trade

• Take ownership of projects from concept to delivery, aligning technical solutions with business goals.
• You see a problem, you tackle it with technology - with your users always in mind.
• Collaborate on cross-team initiatives involving complex systems to ensure smooth flows in our warehouses.
• Tech stack: Java 21/25 (Spring 6 with Spring Boot 3.5, Reactor, Immutables, Maven), RabbitMQ, Kafka, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Git, Docker, AWS, Helm, Terraform, Kubernetes, Vault, Datadog, Python 3.x.

We’re looking for

• You have a Master’s Degree (in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Information Technology, Computer Engineering or a related technical field) or equivalent experience.
• You have a product mindset: you own and solve business problems through tech.
• You have 1-5 years of professional experience in programming and software development.
• You have a profound understanding of back-end development, including Java, Spring MVC, MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
• Your English skills are on point (no Dutch required).
• You're based in or happy to relocate to the Netherlands.

We work from our office in Amsterdam. Being present makes a genuine difference to your team and the work. There's flexibility to work from home when needed, but if remote or hybrid-first is what you're after, this probably isn't the right fit.

With more than 80 nationalities across 3 countries, you’ll be part of a diverse company with plenty of cool stuff to get involved with, from board game evenings, to after‑work drinks, to our company ski trip and more!

You are what you eat

You’ll get freshly prepared, healthy lunches and snacks (with plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and halal options). Coffee snob? Don’t worry, our amazing Picnic barista has you covered.

As well as having the option to speak with Picnic colleagues who act as confidential advisors, our collaboration with OpenUp gives you easy access to professional psychologists, along with workshops and materials.
