Descripción del empleo

As part of the store distribution engineering team, you will get the opportunity to work on the software applications and services that ensure our stores have the products our customers need. The work you do will improve the colleague experience in our depots and drive improved efficiencies to our extensive fulfilment network. And when it comes to ideas, we’re as ambitious as you are.

Our team is modernizing the technologies used to drive our fulfilment network and depot operations. There are two main areas of our work:

All that while influencing the technical direction along the way.

On the technical side, we are developing Java microservices which are exposed via React applications and REST APIs. We use Kafka as a messaging backbone to provide strategic business analytics and insights via the Tesco Analytics Platform. We deploy our applications to AKS, virtual machines on premise or increasingly to an internal Kubernetes platform. We use Terraform to create our infrastructure as code.

We operate in a DevOps philosophy. We take responsibility for the software through its entire lifecycle. We practice continuous integration, delivery, and support of our code through to production and beyond.

• Be a coder; review and contribute code.
• Proactively propose solutions.
• Work in the team – support and be supported in your team.
• Design: design, propose and review architecture design.
