About AH Technology, food retail reinventors
Albert Heijn goes way back; more than 130 years, to be exact. For 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.

So, what’s next?
We want to accelerate our transition into a hybrid Food & Tech company by leveraging data and technology to future-proof food shopping. Our goal is to make better food more easily accessible to everyone. At AH Technology, you team up with inspiring peers in the data, digital and tech domains. A community of diverse individuals who share a common purpose: to create digital solutions that make shopping simpler and more inspiring, both online and in our stores.
We invest heavily in tech. That includes investing in your career! Are you ready to reinvent the way millions of people buy and enjoy their food?
As Senior OT & Edge Engineer you build the technical foundation that connects and protects the operational technology in our warehouses. Your focus is the OT Secure Ring: the architecture and platform through which every relevant OT and IoT asset in our Distribution Centers (DCs) and Home Shopping Centers (HSCs) will be connected, secured, monitored and integrated with our tech landscape. That covers network segmentation and secure access, connectivity, integration and data flows, and turning all of it into repeatable patterns so we can onboard asset after asset, site after site.
Your primary focus is our warehouse mechanisation landscape: the systems that physically move products through our supply chain. From there you extend the same foundation to the rest of the OT and IoT in our warehouses: energy management, EV charging, climate and building management systems, printers and peripherals. The challenge for you and the team: how do you engineer this at scale, across 20+ DCs and HSCs and eventually 1280+ stores?
This is how you will reinvent food retail

As an Engineer you understand how these technologies need to be realized in a complex environment this large. Together with your team you solve technical challenges with a true engineering mindset.
