We are looking for a proactive and motivated Senior Backend Engineer to join our innovation-focused team at Albert Heijn.
You will work on the next generation of digital experiences, including Steijn, our AI-powered chatbot used by millions of customers. We are looking for experienced backend engineers who are excited about AI and eager to help build AI-powered products and services. Experience with LLMs, agent systems, conversational applications, or other AI technologies is highly valued, but a strong engineering foundation, curiosity, and willingness to learn are equally important.
You will work on real production systems, shaping how conversational experiences and backend platforms come together at scale.
This Is How You Will Reinvent Food Retail
Your New Team and Office
You will join a team focused on building the backend foundations behind Albert Heijn’s newest digital products.
We turn ideas into production-ready systems that operate at scale. This includes designing APIs, integrating with existing AH systems, and ensuring reliable data flows across a complex retail landscape.
Our work spans a variety of domains and technologies. Some initiatives involve AI-powered experiences, such as our chatbot Steijn, while others focus on backend platforms, integrations, and core digital capabilities. This offers a unique opportunity to work on innovative products while strengthening the systems that power them.
We are looking for engineers who enjoy solving complex technical challenges, take ownership of their work, and are excited to explore new technologies. Whether you already have experience building AI-driven solutions or are eager to deepen your expertise in this area, you will have the opportunity to contribute and grow within the team.
The common denominator across everything we build is strong engineering, collaboration, and a focus on delivering reliable solutions that create value for our customers.
The Recipe for Maximum Impact
Experience with AI and Emerging Technologies
We believe strong engineers can learn new technologies quickly. If you have a solid backend engineering background and are excited about the opportunities AI creates, we encourage you to apply, even if you do not meet every AI-related qualification listed above.
