Backend developer (kotlin/java, microservices, kafka) -supply chain

Help build the backend behind a smarter,
greener supply chain. As our new Backend Engineer, you will help
rebuild our traditional tech into a modern cutting-edge technology
landscape (Kotlin/Java, Microservices,
Kafka).

You
will be joining our Supply Chain Execution cluster. This cluster is
responsible for the planning of the delivery of goods from
suppliers to distribution centers and from distribution centers to
stores. All this while ensuring 24*7 uptime on mission critical
environments. So, your work will have a great impact on the daily
lives of our
customers.

This
is how you will reinvent food
retail.

• Build
  microservices in Kotlin for our Warehouse Inbound &
  Optimization team
• Develop technical solutions
  in line with our systems and business process
  architecture
• Develop proofs of concept, write
  code, implement and execute automated testing, ensure security and
  code quality, establish best practices, and conduct functional
  testing
• Further enhance our technical standards
  and guidelines
• Share your expertise and
  contribute to initiatives and your product cluster and the broader
  AH Retail Technology Platform
• Develop the
  team’s skills and processes to deliver value as quickly as
  possible

As
Backend Engineer, you are technically responsible for the work of
your product team. Your team develops and supports multiple
applications delivering one or more capabilities for our brands in
The Netherlands. You will work closely with the Product Owner and
Product Architect to develop our technology landscape. Business
technology and Solution consultants will support you and the rest
of the team in identifying requirements and finding the best
possible solutions.

To
give you an insight into some of the large scale initiatives we are
currently busy with:

• Rebuilding our
  traditional tech landscape into a modern cutting-edge tech
  foundation (with Microservices & High code front-end) to scale
  our ever-growing core business
• Integrating and
  expanding our supply chain capacity and
  network
• Optimizing the value chain in our
  warehouses (or integrating towards our partners), transport and
  replenishment
• Cloud (Azure) transformation and
  migration.

Your
new team and office.
You will join the
Warehouse Inbound & Optimization team that is part of our
Supply Chain Execution cluster. Our team works 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 a 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.

The
recipe for maximum impact.
Don’t check
all the boxes? Don’t worry, we probably don’t either
