Job description

As a Senior Java Developer, you make an important contribution to Jumbo by improving our backend e-commerce platform. Our platform has to keep up with our everyday growing customer base, and that's why we are looking for the best developers. Are you a software craftsman who can write maintainable, clean, and testable code, but can also contribute to the development of a team? Then this is your chance to join our Jumbo development family!

Get started! This is what you’ll do
Working at Jumbo means working in an international agile-minded working environment with many technical challenges. You will work on innovative products and services which we release more and more by continuous delivery. You identify complexity in our landscape and are someone who drives improvement and innovation as a servant leader.

As a Senior Java Developer, you will be part of one of our scrum teams. Each team has all the skills to implement a user story from A to Z. Your agile team consists of developers, a business analyst, scrum master, product owner, and UX designer. Together you will work in sprints of two weeks.

Together, we are Jumbo: This is where you'll work
A lot happens at Jumbo: no day is the same, we switch quickly and look at how we can do better every day for our customers and colleagues. We encourage you to see opportunities and take initiative on matters that contribute to our objectives. With an informal working atmosphere, room for initiative, humor, and fun, you work at Jumbo every day with a smile.

Jumbo is the second-largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands and has a great ambition for its online presence. We are transforming into a more technology-focused company. At our Jumbo Tech Campus, all technical professionals are brought together. We are organized based on agile principles and our 400 IT professionals work in multi-disciplinary scrum teams. So, you will be working today on the newest food experience that our customers will be able to use tomorrow!

• You get a smile from being a mentor to your team members: review each other’s code, learn from each other and support less experienced team members in growing their skills.
