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 - Fullstack Engineer - React & Java
Why join us
As JavaReact Engineer, you’ll create great products by interpreting and applying best practice architectural and engineering principles, operating frameworks and new and improved tech applications. We’d also like you to be yourself – analytical, curious and unafraid to learn new skills or challenge the status quo. You’ll look to improve the way things are done in your team too.
What you'll do
You’ll own the design and development of large-scale high performance services, microservices and event-driven architecture using React, Java (8+), NodeJS, AWS and GraphQL. You’ll also contribute to our product technical roadmap and work with cloud server less technologies using AWS.
Leading the design and support of services and internal frameworks that enhance our capabilities, you’ll be engineering throughout the whole product lifecycle, including commissioning. Throughout, you’ll think about the cost and service support implications of your engineering choices.
Who you are
You’ll have programming expertise in ReactJS and one or more of Kotlin, Java/Springboot or Python, and your knowledge of engineering practice will cover architectural principles. Experience of software design and implementation, security, cloud, infrastructure as code and relevant hardware will be key.
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.
