Vacature omschrijving

Wat ga je doen?

Would you like to work on a newly designed and built employee solution, which is used by thousands and thousands of employees of Albert Heijn? As a Senior Back End Engineer Kotlin, you can make a direct impact on a priority project, using modern technologies (Kotlin, Azure, Kafka) in a fast-developing environment.

 

Your new job and office

You probably already know who we are. Albert Heijn goes way back. More than 130 years, to be exact. So, for millions of people, food shopping is synonymous with the Albert Heijn brand. We didn’t achieve this with a complacent, ‘hey, if it works today, it’ll work tomorrow’ approach, but by continually rethinking our propositions and staying plugged in to customer demands. Over 1,000 stores? Check. The leading online food retail platform? Check, we build, run and love it. 😉 So what’s next? Accelerating our transition into a hybrid Food & Tech company is. We want to leverage data and technology to future-proof food shopping and make better food more easily accessible to everyone. At AH Technology, 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!

 

About the job

Being a Senior Engineer for our Digital Employee Experience in the AH Retail Tech Platform, means you are responsible for all the back-end services of Albert Heijn's employee app, called ‘@AH’, used by more than 100.000 employees.This app has many functionalities, like checking out the AH news, connecting to colleagues via chat, and view work schedules. But even more exciting there’s much more on our roadmap for the upcoming months and years, like GenAI, task management, digital onboarding and training, and scaling to new business units and other brands.

As a passionate Senior Engineer, you own the realization of new features. You lead the team in keeping up the high security and coding standards of the platform, push the engineering skills of the team, and develop new features using the latest technology.

 

You participate in standups and refinements, develop code, enforce code quality, develop best practices, write tests and manage the continuous integration of code. As a Senior Engineer you support product or platform architects and are the technical point of contact for product owners and heads of tech. Beyond your own team, you contribute to the AH Tech community via Guilds, inner source initiatives, and more.

 

More specifically, as Senior Devops Engineer you:

  • Are the Lead software engineer, guiding other back- and front-end developers in developing a feature-rich product for our employees.
  • Understand how to technically scale the services in the ‘employee experience platform’, which empowers the “@AH app”.
  • Understand how to combine best agile development practices in combination with a services-based architecture.
  • Are an expert on ‘your’ domain (Kotlin back-end services on our Azure Kubernetes platform), though you can also liaise with other senior engineers and their respective technologies (Front and Back End).

 

Why we believe this is a cool job

  • You get to work with modern technologies, and since this is a new-build solution we have zero legacy.
  • Everything we build in the app is scalable, using Azure and Microservices, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines. We work in small increments so we’re able to put things live straight away, hence reduce our time to market.
  • We work in a multi-disciplinarian team; with dedicated QA, UX designer, developers, product owner. In total the team consists of 8+ people.
  • This initiative, building an employee app for your own colleagues, is a priority project for Albert Heijn, with the potential of scaling to other brands within Ahold Delhaize.
  • As a Senior engineer you have an impact on the direction of the (technical) part of the app. And the way we work in this project is a blueprint for other teams in our Retail Tech Platform. Therefore, we encourage you to share knowledge and best practices with other teams.

 

What do you bring

At AH Technology you'll be working for one of the biggest food retailers in the Netherlands. To be successful as our new senior back end engineer you bring:

A Technology/IT Engineering bachelor’s or master’s degree, or equivalent work experience;

  • You know your technology stack: you are the expert when it comes to Kotlin, MongoDB, Docker, k8s and Kafka, while having a good understanding of its fit in the total stack (e.g. ReactNative).
  • Experience in Cloud (Azure preferred, but we will get you up to speed if you have AWS/Google experience);
  • Experience as lead backend developer, preferable in a microservice landscape for an internet facing app;
  • Know your way around with CI/CD, including test automation integrations and release engineering automation (fyi, we use Azure DevOps and Github Actions)
  • Strong understanding of concepts like code quality, IT security, test automation, and cloud practices;
  • Outstanding communication in English (Dutch is preferred, since you might need to contact colleagues in the AH stores);
  • Ability to identify (technical) improvements and contribute to a technical roadmap.
  • A highly communicative personality with the ability to motivate and inspire developers in the team to continuously improve the product and their skills;
  • You don't mind stakeholder management, you're quite good at it

 

The right ingredients for an impactful job, based on a 40 hours work week:

  • An annual salary up to 110k including holiday allowance and a flexible bonus. Depending on your level of seniority and experience.
  • Possibility to work 32-40 hours a week.
  • Working hybrid where we go to the office once or twice a week. We are next to Zaandam's train station!
  • An attractive pension plan of which we pay out over 4,5 x times the amount you contribute to the fund. So you’ll continue to enjoy a comfortable income even after retiring 🙂
  • A minimum of 20 days paid vacation, plus 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? It’s up to you!
  • NS Train card for commuting by train from your home to Zaandam, a laptop and smartphone.
  • 10% staff discount on groceries in all Albert Heijn stores, up to €300 discount a year.
  • Follow training and courses via our AH Tech Academy.
