Sainsburys Tech - Senior Backend Engineer - .net

We’re a multi-channel, multi-brand business serving millions of customers a day, with the UK’s largest loyalty scheme and an ever-evolving set of digital platforms. All of this equals over 1.2 billion transactions each year, presenting a volume, depth and complexity of data that few can match. We don’t think we’re exaggerating when we say we have the most exciting data set in the country. And from the insights gained, we build scalable, high-performance products using cutting-edge technology that give our customers an amazing shopping experience — like our award-winning Smartshop app. In an inclusive, agile environment, you’ll have the space to be curious, to experiment, and to solve real-world challenges. And you’ll get to see your creations in the hands of millions of people across the UK.

As a Senior .NET Engineer, you’ll apply architectural and engineering principles to define and deliver technology that provides better customer experiences and business efficiency whilst reducing business cost. We’d love for you to be yourself - analytical, curious and unafraid to learn new skills or challenge the status quo. You’ll always look to improve the way things are done in your team too.

What you'll do

Within this role, you will contribute to the design and development of large-scale high performance services using the latest Standards, React JS, SQL, MongoDB, Kubernetes and Docker including serverless functions and event-driven architecture too.

You'll also help to implement cloud technologies such as AWS and GCP and help drive the product technical roadmap design, support services and internal frameworks that enhance the Sainsbury's Group capabilities. Throughout, you'll share your technical knowledge and ideas with the wider team.

Who you are

You’ll have programming expertise in relational and non-relational database technologies, backed by expertise in engineering practice and architectural and engineering principles. In addition, you’ll need experience in software design and implementation, security, cloud, infrastructure as code and CI/CD and relevant hardware.

As well as all this, we’ll look for self-drive and a push for advocacy of agile/lean delivery methodologies plus a passion for delivering solutions and living the DevSecOps principles. If you also want to learn more about emerging tech and help the whole team deliver, we should be talking.

Qualifications

We are committed to being a truly inclusive retailer, so you’ll be welcomed whoever you are and wherever you work. Around here, there’s always the chance to try something new - whether that’s as part of an evolving team or somewhere else across the business - and we take development seriously and promise to support you. We also recognise and celebrate colleagues when they go the extra mile and, where possible, offer flexible working. When you join our team, we’ll also offer you an amazing range of benefits. Here are some of them:

• Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to get 10% off at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat after 4 weeks. This increases to 15% off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day.
• Pensions scheme and life cover.
• Performance-related bonus of up to 20% of salary, depending on how we perform.
• Annual holiday allowance, with the option to buy additional holiday.
• Season ticket loans, interest free car loan of up to £10k, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, pay advance (where you can access some of your pay before pay day).
• Employee Assistance Programme and eligibility for private healthcare.

Moments that matter are as important to us as they are to you which is why we give up to 26 weeks’ pay for maternity or adoption leave and up to 4 weeks’ pay for paternity leave.

Responsibilities

We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for you at Sainsbury’s. Think about the scale it takes for us to feed the nation. The level of data, transactions and variety it involves. Then you’ll realise that ours is a modern software engineering environment because it has to be. We’ve made serious investment into a Tech Academy and into setting standards and principles. We iterate, learn, experiment and push ways of working such as Agile, Scrum and XP. So you can look forward to awesome opportunities in everything from AI to reusable tech.
