Albert Heijn is a renowned supermarket chain that has been serving customers across the Netherlands for over 130 years. Founded in 1887 by Albert Heijn, the company has grown to become one of the most trusted and beloved grocery retailers in the country. With a commitment to quality, convenience, and customer satisfaction, Albert Heijn has become an integral part of daily life in the Netherlands.
Albert Heijn is accelerating in becoming a Food & Tech company. That is where AH Technology comes into the picture. With a focus on Data, Digital and Tech, we at Albert Heijn strive to deliver high-quality products where technology plays an important role.
Within AH Technology, the Managed Azure Databricks (MAD) team provides a secure, compliant and high-performing data platform so product and data teams can unlock the full potential of their data.
Your new team and office
You'll join a small, senior engineering team (around 6 people) with full ownership of the platform: infrastructure as code, CI/CD and platform automation, end to end.
It's not a specialist role in the same week you might be deep in Terraform, writing Python automation, and reworking a CI/CD pipeline.
The platform you'll help run isn't a single, contained system: it's used across multiple brands and regions, with other teams building on top of it and depending on its stability.
That brings real complexity, inter-team dependencies, shared standards across business units, and a growing footprint and real challenges:
At Albert Heijn, you team up with inspiring peers in the data, digital and tech domains. You will work in the MAD team, part of the Data Differentiation Platform, building and operating our Azure-based Databricks platform so that data scientists and engineers across the company can work safely and efficiently at scale.
Our teams work in a hybrid way: both from home and in the office. We are located right next to the train station in Zaandam. We think it's important to be part of a 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 to our team in the widest possible sense. Someone who is a great addition by bringing other ideas to the table.
Don't check all the boxes? That's fine, we probably don't either. If you think you are up for the challenge, we're happy to have a look at your resume.
What will you do?
As a Senior Platform Engineer in the MAD team you:
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):
The recipe for maximum impact.
