The company: About AH Technology, food retail reinventors 

Albert Heijn goes way back; more than 130 years, to be exact.  Ffor millions of people, food shopping is synonymous with the Albert Heijn brand. We didn’t achieve this with a complacent, ‘hey, if it works today, it’ll work tomorrow’ approach, but by continually rethinking our propositions and staying plugged in to customer demands.

As an Edge & IoT DevOps Engineer you build technical products for our engineers with the specific focus on our Store and Distribution Center (DC) infrastructure. These technical products are related to public cloud, edge cloud computing and Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies. This will enable our product teams to develop new products to improve our customer and employee experience.
