Are you ready to be a part of something transformative? Join the AH Stores as a Junior Devops Engineer and embark on a journey to reshape our traditional tech infrastructure into a modern, cutting-edge technology landscape that touches the lives of millions of customers daily! 
 

This is how you will reinvent food retail. 

We’re a small, close-knit platform team on a mission to drive store computing modernization. By collaborating across all layers of our edge platform, we ensure that developers have an intuitive, seamless experience—so they can focus on building what matters most. Together, we’re not just improving technology, we’re helping make customer experiences better, faster, and more efficient. 

As a hands-on team, we take full ownership of the platform—from its foundational infrastructure to enhancing the developer experience and everything in between. Our work empowers the broader organization to innovate and deliver impactful solutions quickly. 

As a DevOps Engineer you build technical products for our engineers with the specific focus on our stores and Distribution Centers (DC) infrastructure. These technical products are related to public cloud, edge computing and Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies. This will enable our product teams to develop new products to improve our customer and employee experience. The major engineering challenge for you and team to solve is how to introduce this at scale with over than 1250 stores and 6 large Distribution Centers. Following Inner-Sourcing principles, you will work with users and maintainers throughout the entire organization to fit your ideas into the bigger picture: accelerate our product teams so that they can deliver quality customer value quickly and autonomously. 

  • Contribute to building within our modern tech landscape with microservices architecture, Kotlin, Cloud Azure, Kafka integration, MongoDB, and more.
  • Consume logging, monitoring, automation, integrations, and deployment frameworks from our paved road support by our enablement platform.
  • Work closely within a product team, participating in agile ceremonies, story refinement, code changes, deployments, and production support activities.
  • Strive to understand the flow of our core business processes within AH Stores, translating functional requirements into technical solutions. Your ability to communicate your ideas effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders will be invaluable. 

 
Learn about how painful it is for large-scale companies to handle the day-to-day life retail management and understand how our technology is changing the status quo Own what you build, with the ability to decide how to build it and the responsibility of operating it in the production environment. Build meaningful products using modern technologies that our customers use and depend on for everyday business. Keen eye for observability throughout all landscape. Assure that robots are in control of all operations so you can use your imagination to solve thought problems. Continuously feed the learnings and observations of operating the system back into our products. Collaborate with the product team to define the future of our products and deliver value with every release. 

 

Your new team and office. 

Together with your team you will work on inspiring projects to accelerate our transition into a hybrid Food & Tech company. We want to leverage data and technology to future-proof food shopping and give our customers accessibility to healthy food more easily available for everyone. At Albert Heijn, you team up with inspiring peers in the data, digital and tech domains. A community of diverse individuals who share a common goal; to create digital solutions that make (online) shopping simpler and more inspiring. Are you ready to reinvent the way millions of people buy and enjoy their food? We invest heavily in data, digital and tech. And that includes investing in your career! Our teams work in a hybrid way: both from home as well as in the office. We are located right next to the train station Zaandam.  

We think it’s important to be part of an high-belonging team; a team where you can be yourself and feel safe, accepted and appreciated. For this job we are preferably looking for someone who brings diversity in our team, in the widest possible sense. Someone who is a great addition to our team by bringing other ideas to the table. So don’t check all the boxes? Don’t worry, we probably don’t either 😉. Don’t hesitate to apply if you think you are up for the challenge, we’re happy to have a look at your resume! 

 

What we offer. 

At Albert Heijn we aim to grow, and this is only possible if you grow along with us. As we work together to build our brand and your career, you can count on (based on 40 hours per week): 

  • An annual salary up to 74k including holiday allowance and a flexible bonus. Depending on your experience;  
  • 45 days of paid leave to enjoy your well-deserved holidays: 25,5 regular vacation days and 19,5 ADV days. Enjoy!
  • Flexible working hours; 
  • Access to a challenging training curriculum – AH Tech Academy; 
  • An excellent pension plan where we as an employer contribute 4,5 more than you as an employee;  
  • A travel allowance or a NS-business card for traveling to and from Zaandam by train; 
  • Attractive discounts on various insurance policies;

  • A free Mijn Albert Heijn Premium membership with many benefits;
  • A company laptop and telephone. 
     
     

The recipe for maximum impact: 

  • You have a strong sense of ownership, care about what you build, and build the right thing that serves your customers. You’re a builder at heart; you like the opportunity of having tons of exposure, making things work for a company long-term, and having an entrepreneurial attitude for anything that comes your way. 
  • Kotlin
  • You are comfortable scaling and operating large-scale services in high-growth environments.  
  • You are comfortable in one or more of programming languages. Most of our current codebase is in Go, but we are not stuck to any tools, since we see them to an end.  
  • You like to use data over opinions to make decisions. And are okay with finding the data yourself when it’s missing. You prefer to improve the system as a whole and are not fixated on improving local optimums that may not impact the bottleneck 
  • You enjoy teamwork and making things happen; 
  • You’re tech savvy, pro-active and have a big passion for tech;
