Software Development Engineer II

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

1. Supporting increased automation within our depots to make them more efficient.
2. Developing modern applications to support our colleagues drive better outcomes for the business.

As a part of the first area, we are constantly exploring integration with numerous automation providers. We therefore need support to drive innovation with the automation providers to optimize the flow of stock within the depots. In the second area, we are constantly developing new applications to support our colleagues drive further improvements.

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.
