We’re
Ocado Technology. We design and build the systems and technology that
power ocado.com, the world's largest online-only grocery retailer and
groceries.morrisons.com, the world’s fastest growing online supermarket!
Behind
the public face, we write and build all our own systems, from website
to warehouse control systems, van routing systems to mobile apps, every
system involved in the operation has been carefully crafted by our large
team of talented software engineers. We are constantly pushing the
limits of what our technology can do. To accelerate this work, we are
expanding our development team and building our newest development
centre in Barcelona Spain. We are a rapidly expanding development team,
backed by an established tech company from the UK. We plan to grow this
new development centre to 200 people over the next 3 years - and that's
based on our existing growth curve and conservative growth estimates
(rather than the potential growth of a startup!)
As our business
evolves, we are writing a next generation, cloud based grocery platform,
Ocado Smart Platform, which will be used to run Ocado, Morrisons and
many other international retailers in the future. Join us and you’ll
have the opportunity to work across a wide range of technology, with
some exceptionally smart people, to create an unrivalled platform.
Our
Android and iOS apps were some of the first transactional shopping apps
in the world on each platform, and have won industry awards, with
features such as the ability to shop offline. Our mobile development
team creates our suite of mobile apps for Android and iOS that now
generates over 40% of our weekly orders. 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 phone or tablet.
We are
looking for dedicated Senior Android Developers to join our
cross-functional agile team as we continue the development of this
technically challenging and ever-evolving suite of apps.
