We're
Ocado Technology. We design and build the platform that powers Ocado,
the world's largest online-only grocery retailer. We're also putting the
world's retailers online, including Morrisons (the fastest growing
online supermarket in the world), Fetch, Sizzle, and Fabled by Marie
Claire.
We write and build all our own systems, from website to
warehouse control systems, van routing systems to mobile apps, every
system involved in our e-commerce and logistics operation has been
carefully crafted by our team of passionate software engineers.
We have a rapidly expanding portfolio of amazing software
products being developed in Barcelona. And we work closely with our
development teams in our other centres around the world.
You will be part of our Mobile Web services team which
is the backbone of the Mobile Development team. Our Mobile Development
team creates our suite of mobile apps for iOS and android that now
generates over 40% of our weekly orders. Our apps were some of the first
transactional shopping apps in the world, and have won industry awards,
with features such as the ability to shop offline. They are regularly
featured in the app and play stores. As the percentage of weekly orders
taken on mobile is growing significantly day by day, it is backed by
major new projects within the team, completely redefining what it means
to shop for groceries on a mobile device.
We use Java and Scala, relying on Jersey and Spring to deliver our
projects, and we use AWS for all our new deployments. We embrace agile
development techniques, and run all our projects as Scrum projects as
part of the cross functional mobile team. Alongside the ownership and
ongoing development of all the web services code, there is particular
focus on performance, scalability and maintainability. We are looking
for a dedicated Senior Java Web Service Developer to join the team as we
continue to push the boundaries of mobile shopping.
