Software Development Engineer III - User Interactive Service

We know life looks a little different for each of us. That’s why at Tesco, we always welcome chats about flexible working. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a career, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.

Your impact reaches beyond your immediate team, and you provide perspective and context for technology choices across your directorate.

The work that you do has foundational impact across teams in your area and the directorate that you are member of. You are a technical leader for your teams and others will regularly come to you for mentorship and support.

You are comfortable both supporting other engineers in their delivery and taking the lead on key features as appropriate. You have delivered multiple projects that move the needle for the business. You have demonstrated technical breadth and depth.

You display a high degree of ownership for the work conducted by the team. You are accountable for the quality of every result, produced by individuals and teams. You are an advocate of engineering best practices.

You build maturity in the way we develop, deliver and operate services. You ensure that your team are learning from the best in the industry, designing and implementing appropriate testing and deployment strategies. You will be responsible for supporting highly scalable and exciting live products with many end users.

You can anticipate feature evolution of the product. You utilise this when facilitating design sessions to ensure that the system architecture evolves to support future requirements. You understand the wider Tesco architectural strategy and champion its application to the systems that you work on. At this level your job starts to become just as much about exercising technical judgment as it does about implementation.

You are comfortable managing competing priorities and can bring order to ambiguous scenarios. You create optimal outcomes combining short-term and long-term goals, utilising data driven decision making techniques to take appropriate trade-offs. You can identify risks and proactively engage with product and programme managers.

You are an effective communicator within your team and the stakeholders.

You are a trusted mentor, a role-model for more junior engineers, being approachable and are frequently asked to mentor others.

You prioritise sharing skills and technical knowledge across the directorate, both informally in 1:1 discussions and by arranging more formal training opportunities.

You build capability and raise the bar by contributing to hiring and interviewing practices. You regularly participate in recruitment assessments.

Externally you represent the best of Tesco Technology to attract new talent and encourage interest in our organisation.
