What does this mean for you?

Your new role and environment.

 

The Stores & Supply Chain Platform team is crucial for Albert Heijn's digital transformation, ensuring that the technology behind its stores and supply chain is modern, efficient, and able to support the company's goals.

 

You work at the heart of the Albert Heijn supply chain. The AH Store Replenishment product is responsible for creating the orders for 1200+ Albert Heijn stores. Our mission is to provide the best shopping experience to our customers, offering high service levels and fresh products at an affordable price, a task you won't take on solo but as a full-fledged member of the replenishment development team. 

Key responsibilities of your role.

 

  • Build and scale microservices in Kotlin for Store Replenishment team, powering smarter supply chain operations. 
  • Design and deliver technical solutions that align with our architecture and business processes. 
  • Hands-on development: create proofs of concept, write clean code, implement automated testing, ensure security and code quality, and set best practices. 
  • Contribute to standards: shape and evolve our technical guidelines for long-term scalability. 
  • Collaborate and share: bring your expertise to cross-team initiatives within the AH Stores and Supply Chain Technology Platform. 
  • Enable growth: improve team skills and processes to deliver business value faster and more effectively. 

 

 

What’s in it for you?

 

We ask a lot. (We’re looking for the best, after all). But we offer a lot, too.

So, what do we have in store for you? We offer flexible hours and a hybrid working model, allowing you to work both from home and at the office. We provide competitive benefits to support health, well-being and your professional growth. This includes: a significant budget on benefit platform and a yearly bonus.

Requirements.

 

We think you’ll be best geared for success if you can meet the following requirements:

  • 8+ years of experience as a backend engineer, with strong hands-on experience in Kotlin (or another JVM language such as Java).
  • Experience with Kafka and Event driven systems.
  • Experience designing and building microservices architectures.
  • Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL and MongoDB).
  • Experience with cloud platforms, preferably Azure.
  • Security development experience or affinity with DevSecOps is a plus (e.g., OWASP).
  • DevOps mindset: comfortable with CI/CD, deployments, and owning the full lifecycle of your services.
  • Experience working in Agile product teams (2-week sprints).

It goes without saying that so-called ‘soft skills’ are just as important as their ‘hard’ cousins. We highly value:

 

  • Strong analytical skills and ability to work on complex, business-critical systems.

  • Excellent communication skills, open, transparent and motivated to continuously help the team grow
  • Ability to work independently.
