Wat ga je doen?
As Senior Backend Developer you will join the 'Point of Sale' team within the AH Customer Technology platform. This department is responsible for the development of the staffed and self-service checkouts in our Albert Heijn and AH to go stores. This means you are responsible for more than 13.000 checkouts and 60.000 handheld scanners, handling 17 million transactions per week. When shopping at Albert Heijn yourself, you use your own product every visit. Being an engineer in this team means that your goal is to ensure that our customers are using our product with no hiccups and the fastest and most reliable solution is moved to production. You do this by knowing the ins and outs of our applications and using your experience to reach the best solution together with the other engineers in the team
This is how you will reinvent food retail.
- You design, develop, test and maintain software applications and services using Kotlin
- You translate functional and non-functional requirements into scalable and maintainable solutions
- You take a leading role in technical design and implementation within the team
- You do hands-on development: create proofs of concept, write clean code, implement automated testing, ensure security and code quality, and set best practices.
- You enable growth for both our processes and our team members
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-prove food shopping and give our customers the 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 of 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 who is a great addition to our team by bringing other ideas to the table.
What we offer.
- An annual salary up to 100K including holiday allowance and a flexible bonus. Depending on your level of seniority and experience;
- A minimum of 20 days paid vacation, optionally 12.5 days extra. Do you want to take that extra time off, or would you rather convert the extra days into discounts or sell them for cash? You’re the end boss!;
