How you can make a difference

Join Albert Heijn Technology Supply Chain team and help shape one of the biggest and most efficient Supply Chains in Europe by building state-of-the-art web applications. We test and experiment, innovate, and push boundaries. For that journey, we have the Talent Track—a program designed to give your career as a Data Engineer at Albert Heijn a flying start. Does this sound like the perfect opportunity for you? Become the new Data Engineer in our Talent Track!

This is how you will reinvent food retail.

• Assist in rebuilding our traditional tech landscape into a modern cutting-edge tech foundation (high code front-end) to scale our ever-growing core business.
• Write code, implement and execute automated testing, ensure security and code quality, and contribute to best practices and deployment.
• Be a valuable team member, helping to overcome obstacles.
• Support the integration and expansion of our supply chain capacity and network.

As a Junior Data Engineer, you will join the AH Smart Replenishment Product team. This team focuses on creating and modifying services to support order creation for suppliers, ensuring sufficient stock for over 1,000 Albert Heijn stores. Our goal is to develop a stable and highly available service for efficient, event-driven system handling for millions of events. Even small improvements can generate significant benefits.

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 make healthy food more accessible for everyone. At Albert Heijn, you will 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, including 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 in Zaandam.

We think it is 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 to our team by bringing new ideas to the table. 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!

More than 125,000 colleagues? Check. Over 1,250 stores in the Netherlands and Flanders? Check. The leading online food retail platform? Check, we build, run and love it.

We’re moving towards a new world with new opportunities and challenges. Albert Heijn wants more people to eat fresher, healthier and more sustainable food. Eating brings us together, keeps us healthier and contributes positively to the world. Our mission is: Together we make eating better the easy choice. For everyone.
