Contract hours: 32-40

Job description

As a Tech Lead / Staff Engineer, you help multiple teams within your domain make the right technical decisions and work towards shared objectives. You bring structure to complex challenges, create alignment between teams, and ensure that architecture, engineering, and business goals remain connected.

You support teams in evolving and simplifying architectures, guide technical decision-making, and help engineers document key decisions through practices such as Architectural Decision Records (ADRs). You also facilitate workshops on topics such as Event Storming, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Team Topologies, and socio-technical systems to help teams gain direction and clarity.

You play an important role in improving engineering practices, coaching engineers, and fostering innovation. You explore new technologies, support the design of future architectures, and contribute to department-wide initiatives in areas such as observability, SLIs/SLOs, and AI-assisted software development.

Your impact is not defined by building every solution yourself, but by creating direction, connecting teams, and helping others make better technical decisions.

• An experienced software engineer with a strong technical foundation.
• Have at least 2 years of experience as a Tech Lead, Staff Engineer, or Software Architect.
• Experienced in providing technical direction across multiple teams.
• Strong in stakeholder management and capable of aligning diverse interests.
• A coaching leader who helps teams grow and succeed independently.
• Experienced in system design and guiding technical decision-making in complex environments.
• Skilled in collaborative modeling and facilitating workshops with multidisciplinary teams.
• A strong communicator who can explain complex topics in a clear and understandable way.
• Experience in an e-commerce environment is a plus.

Nice to have 

• Experience leading organization-wide technical transformations.
• Knowledge of modern cloud and platform architectures.
• Experience working with scalable software landscapes in complex enterprise environments.
• An affinity for agile ways of working and improving engineering excellence across teams.

• As a Tech Lead / Staff Engineer, you are the technical sparring partner for multiple development teams within a domain. You combine deep technical expertise with natural leadership and help teams make the right decisions around architecture, engineering practices, and software development.
• You will be part of the Tech Lead team supporting the E-commerce, Customer, and Assortment domains. While each Tech Lead has a specific area of focus, together you form one team with a shared mission: connecting business objectives, technology strategy, and execution.
• Jumbo's ambition is to be the most customer-centric retailer. Achieving this requires teams that not only work independently but also pursue the same business and technology goals. As a Tech Lead / Staff Engineer, you play a key role in making this happen. You help teams understand priorities, bring structure to complex technical challenges, and create alignment between business, product, and engineering. In addition, you contribute to domain- and department-wide technical improvements in areas such as observability, incident management, SLIs/SLOs, and emerging developments in software engineering.
• You will work closely with Domain Engineering Managers, Product Managers, Engineering Leads, Product Owners, Domain & Competence Architects, Software Engineers, and fellow Tech Leads.
