Help
build the integration backbone powering warehouse mechanization. As
our new Backend Engineer, you will design and develop services that
connect WMS, integration platforms, and mechanized systems (WCS),
enabling reliable and scalable data exchange across the supply
chain.
Operating in a
distributed and event-driven environment, you will work on systems
that handle real-time flows of orders, stock, and operational
events. Your contributions will be key to ensuring data
consistency, system resilience, and the smooth coordination between
digital systems and physical warehouse
operations.
Build systems that matter
at real scale. In this role, you will design and build backend
services that support business‑critical processes used daily across
the organization. Your work directly impacts system reliability,
developer productivity, and the ability of teams to deliver
features faster and more safely. You will work on production
systems at scale, where performance, resilience, and
maintainability are first‑class concerns—not
afterthoughts.
This is
how you’ll reinvent food
retail.
- You design,
develop, and operate backend services using modern engineering
practices - You work with technologies such as
Kotlin, event‑driven architectures with
Kafka - You take ownership of services
end‑to‑end: from design and implementation to production support
and continuous improvement, DevOps - You
collaborate closely with product, platform, and other engineering
teams to make pragmatic technical
decisions
How we
work.
- Engineers have
real ownership and autonomy in technical decisions within our
architectural guiderails - With the latest DevAI
Tooling we supercharge our development workflow, automate where we
can, giving you more time to focus on creative
problem-solving. - Code quality matters: peer
reviews, clear architecture, and readable code are part of daily
work - Technical debt is acknowledged and
addressed—not ignored - We value simple, robust
solutions over unnecessary
complexity
Why this
role is interesting for
engineers.
- You work on
systems with real users and real impact - You
face non‑trivial engineering challenges around scalability, data
flow, and reliability - You have time and space
to improve both the codebase and the way we
work - You grow technically through exposure to
complex systems, experienced engineers, and meaningful
ownership
Your new team
