Description

Closing Date: 02-Dec-2024

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.
Sainsburys Tech - Data Software Engineer - Python, AWS, Azure and Github
We’re unlocking petabytes of untapped potential. We have thousands of shops, hundreds of thousands of colleagues, and millions of customers. Just imagine the data. We want to use it all to enable business decisions that can’t be made anywhere else. You’ll also have the chance 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
We build data software products for our 23 data squads to use in leveraging the latest tech and tools in this market space. These products increase efficiency, speed of data ingestion into our reporting platform, data quality and ensure data security and compliance.
So we’re product-focused and big on design — especially building out products from start to finish. There’s lots of code writing involved, plus automation including deployments and testing (CICD). You’ll also be focused on Monitoring and Alerting tools for live applications.
It’ll see you work as a team during collaborative design hubs and using your own initiative as you develop a new feature in StackOverflow. You’ll do pair programming to diagnose an elusive bug too, and jump on a Pull Request when it needs your input. Throughout, you’ll build relationships with your colleagues so that you can help mentor them and teach them things you’ve learned
Who you are
Along with your expert knowledge of Python, AWS, Azure and Github, you’ll ideally bring us Snowflake and Terraform too. As important, you’ll have experience as a Data Engineer, Backend Software Engineer or similar, and be keen on good coding practices.
Initiative and curiosity are going to be crucial and you’ll also prefer to take ownership of your work so that you can see it through. And don’t be afraid to share your point of view — we love new thinking.
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. We've also got you covered for your future with our pensions scheme and life cover. You'll also be able to share in our success as you may be eligible for a performance-related bonus of up to 10% of salary, depending on how we perform.   Your wellbeing is important to us too. You'll receive an annual holiday allowance, and you can buy additional holiday. We also offer other benefits that will help your money go further such as season ticket loans, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, pay advance (where you can access some of your pay before pay day) as well access to a great range of discounts from hundreds of other retailers. And if you ever need it there is also an employee assistance programme. 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.  Please see www.sainsburys.jobs for a range of our benefits (note, length of service and eligibility criteria may apply).
