About Ocado Technology

Ocado Technology is a leading technology company that is revolutionizing the retail industry by putting the world's retailers online using the cloud, robotics, AI, and IoT. We develop innovative software and systems that power the world's largest online-only grocery retailer, as well as the global 'Ocado Smart Platform'. Our employees need to be specialists in a wide range of technologies to help drive our business.

We champion a value-led culture to get our teams working at their very best and to help create a collaborative working environment that our people love. Our core values of Trust, Autonomy, Craftsmanship, Collaboration, and Learn Fast help drive our innovative culture.

About the Role

We are seeking a senior TypeScript/JavaScript engineer to join our Platform Web Team. The successful candidate will help us drive our React.js frontend and Node.js backend to the next level. The Platform Web team is within the Ecommerce Platform Department, and our mission is to provide a world-class platform that enables feature teams in other Ecommerce departments to deliver value faster and with increased autonomy.

The team has a broad remit to focus on and enhance some of the most important areas for OSP's customer-facing websites, with the aim of providing a solid, consistent, secure, and performant foundation for our different channels to build upon. This includes maintaining shared code, implementing features that cut across all verticals, leading architectural efforts such as those to enable better platform scaling across other teams, and working with the rest of the chapter to establish additional goals and a close working relationship.

The team is responsible for managing and driving the strategic direction of our core Ocado front-end React application, various shared libraries, multiple backend services, as well as key GraphQL and web routing services. Additionally, the team researches and implements new approaches, developing and improving the tools and frameworks that enable OSP engineers and development teams to work at scale, efficiently, and independently toward shared goals.

Key Responsibilities

  • Empowering other e-commerce engineering teams by increasing autonomy, alignment, and speed, and improving the overall experience through a deep understanding of all our customers.
  • Bringing fresh ideas and approaches while contributing to the architectural direction of our front-end platform.
  • Using experimentation and proof-of-concept trials to make data-driven decisions regarding our engineering priorities.
  • Owning key platform components, including server-side rendered React front-end services and backend services.
  • Collaborating closely with the Platform Web, iOS, and Android channel teams to foster knowledge sharing and alignment, supported by the Platform Core EM and GPM.
  • Leading by example for other developers to aspire to.
  • Practicing and promoting clean code principles.

Requirements

  • Strong front-end and back-end TypeScript experience.
  • Proficiency with React, Node.js, or other JavaScript frameworks.
  • Expertise in client-side state management (e.g., Redux) and single-page applications.
  • Familiarity with RESTful services and design best practices.
  • Solid understanding of CI/CD principles.
  • Experience with performance monitoring and supporting live production systems.
  • Strong collaboration skills to work effectively across Chapters and Cross-Functional Teams.
  • Foundational knowledge of automated testing.
  • Ability to write production-quality code from scratch and rapidly prototype.
  • Willingness to share out-of-hours support responsibilities.
  • Eagerness to learn from others and expand your skill set.
