About the Tesco Technology Colleague Inbox

Tesco Colleague Inbox is an internal means of communication for Tesco with all the employees; something like e-mail, adjusted to Tesco colleagues’ needs. You may be wondering why to provide our own service when there is a lot of e-mail services around the world? The answer is scale and customization.

Customization allows us to provide additional functionalities, that are difficult to get within standard services. For example: targeting the message to colleagues in a couple of certain stores, or all drives in the London area.
For scale, check out how many colleagues are working for Tesco.

We take responsibility for the software through its entire lifecycle. We practice continuous integration and delivery and support our code through to production and beyond.

Responsibilities

As a Software Engineer III, you’ll be part of an agile team of industry-leading engineers upon Tesco’s Colleagues APIs. You will be responsible for the solution design of the applications, solving problems, helping your team, and developing new features through quality, scalable, performant, and maintainable technical solutions. The solutions that you and your team will be responsible for will have a global reach, impacting hundreds of thousands of Tesco colleagues.

Whilst specific responsibilities will be dependent upon the changing needs of the Tesco business, the following provides an overview of the role’s key responsibilities and measures:

  • Adopt best practices in software engineering: design, testing, version control, documentation, build, deployment, monitoring, and operations.
