Senior Infra Engineer

Does DATA and TECHNOLOGY run through your veins? Then look no further: are you the new DevOps engineer with a keen interest in Infra to run all of our data platforms and who can bring our Food and Tech company to the next level?

DevOps Engineer Role

As a DevOps Engineer in the Consumer Enablement team of the Data Platform Core cluster, you focus on using the latest cloud technologies to architect, scale and monitor our services and products. You will be a champion of systems, infrastructure automation and security. This is a hands-on technical position. The ideal candidate has prior experience in building and managing Cloud Infrastructure that supports (data) applications striving to solve traditional operational problems through automation and software. Of course, none of this is useful unless you possess a high standard of excellence, attitude, solid written and verbal communication skills, and have a strong customer focus!

This is how you will reinvent food retail

• You drive automation of Cloud infrastructure provisioning and configuration management, self-service, Infrastructure-as-Code services, Auto Scale initiatives, and DevOps deployment.
• You contribute to infrastructure improvements, architecture, development, and deployment.
• You provide guidance and advice to the team using your strong understanding of Cloud services.
• You implement security baselines and standards for Azure resources including Network access, restriction of internet-facing resource provision and configuration within the Azure environment.

Your new team and office

Together with your team of engineers, 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 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 and in the office. We are located right next to the train station of 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 to our team by bringing other 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!

The recipe for maximum impact

• A minimum of 6 years of relevant experience in DevOps practices, cloud infrastructure management, automation, and related areas.
• 3-5 years of experience writing reusable Infrastructure as Code, preferably using Terraform
• Experience with Github/Github Actions
• Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Shell, Python, PowerShell, etc.)
• Azure PaaS services such as Databricks, Key Vault, Storage account, Event Hubs, etc.
