Our impact is tangible; from sustainability and eliminating waste to delighting customers and delivering great tailored tech solutions, we’re curious and passionate challenge-seekers creating the future of retail today.

Our Technology team enjoy a challenge. They’re hungry to learn, and don’t hesitate to ask what, why, and how. They get to work with our unique, in-house database engine to create high-quality scalable code (just imagine, thousands of stores, millions of products, and billions of rows of raw data!) Their expertise positively impacts the environment and business processes around the world; alongside international colleagues, they drive change and develop solutions that become our pioneering end product. From functional programming, machine learning and interesting algorithms, to building big data pipelines, they’re behind it all. They can work in a flexible way, remote or in-office – after all, they contribute to all our achievements, so we reward them with genuine work-life balance and access to every opportunity.

Join us as a full-time Senior Software Developer / Gradle Plug-In Developer in the Build Engineering Team under Supply Chain Optimization Solution – in Helsinki, Lisbon or Sweden.

• Help make other developers’ lives more joyful by providing them with faster, easier-to-use, and more reliable tools and pipelines.
• Tie together all the teams’ work on our monolith product by creating a shippable product that is ready to be deployed and configured for customer needs.

What you’ll bring to the table:

• Strong experience in the Java Ecosystem, Java software development, and Java Build Tools.
• In depth Gradle Build Tool knowledge (for example: building plug-ins on top of Gradle)
• Experience in building pipelines.
• Maintain and develop services managed by Terraform and mainly deployed to K8s.
• Drive to help others become more productive by providing easy and faster tools for them to use.
• Willingness to explore new things and deepen your knowledge in the field of DPE (Developer Productivity Engineering).

What we see as an advantage:

• Previous experience in DPE (Developer Productivity Engineering) matters.
• Knowledge of building containers and especially running a JVM inside containers.
• Experience with building, maintaining, and optimizing GitLab pipelines.
• Experience in other JVM languages such as Scala, Groovy, Kotlin or JRuby.
