We don’t think we’re exaggerating when we say we have one of the most exciting data sets in the country. The insights we gain help us build scalable, high‑performance products using cutting‑edge technology—products that give our customers an amazing shopping experience, including our award‑winning Smartshop app.
In an inclusive, agile environment, you’ll have the space to be curious, to experiment, and to solve real‑world challenges. Best of all, you’ll see your work in the hands of millions of people across the UK.
As a Java Engineer, you’ll join one of our Engineering teams to create exceptional products aligned to best‑practice architectural and engineering principles. Working with Java (17+) and modern frameworks like Spring Boot and Maven, you’ll design and develop large‑scale, high‑performance services across websites, apps, microservices, and event‑driven architectures.
We want you to bring your whole self to work—be analytical, curious, and ready to challenge the status quo. You’ll be a key contributor to continuous improvement within your team and the wider engineering community.
