Your new
team and office.
As Engineering Manager,
you will join the Data Differentiation Platform (DDP) department,
responsible for the Cloud, Data Platform, and Middleware &
Scheduling services that support Albert Heijn, Etos, and Gall &
Gall. Together with a peer Engineering Manager, you will lead eight
engineering teams (around 50 SecDevOps Engineers) who develop and
operate our data platform—the foundation for data-driven innovation
across all our brands.

Our platform, built
primarily on Azure and Databricks, provides secure, reliable, and
scalable infrastructure, enabling teams to build and run data
products efficiently. Your primary focus is to deliver
high-quality, secure, and reliable platform capabilities, ensuring

We value a high-belonging team where everyone
feels safe, accepted, and appreciated. We especially welcome
candidates who bring new perspectives and diversity to our team.
