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.
