Tech Lead
Working with and for a smile
Jumbo's ambition is to be the most customer-oriented company. We aim to surprise our customers and exceed expectations so they enjoy shopping with us. With over 700 stores in the Netherlands and Belgium, the option to have groceries delivered via jumbo.com, our own distribution centers, and office colleagues, we work together every day to achieve this ambition. Collaborating to win over the customer is what drives us at Jumbo.
  
As a tech lead, you will play a crucial role in driving alignment, innovation, and success within your sub-domain, enabling multiple development teams to deliver the best possible software for our customers.

Get started! This is what you'll do
At Jumbo, we believe in servant leadership, where the role of leadership is to support the rest of the organization. We do that by helping people develop and bringing them together, to create high-performing teams which achieve the best result for our customers. The Tech Lead role is all about technical leadership on the challenges we face in building our new omnichannel microservices platform.

As a tech lead, your primary focus will be on a specific sub-domain that spans multiple teams. Your role is to enable fast flow by building expertise in the sub-domain, helping teams connect with the business, and ensuring solutions are both effective and aligned with organizational goals.

Your main tasks for this role:

• Help teams document the current architecture, simplify it where possible, and ensure it is business-focused. 
• Facilitate alignment between teams to execute plans and work towards our shared goals. 
• Improve learning cycles within the department.
• Foster innovation by experimenting. 

Your workday as a Tech Lead at Jumbo:

• 09:00 – 09:15: Join the stand-up of one of your teams to catch up on the progress on re-architecting the Product Service.
• 09:45 – 10:30: Work on writing an engineering strategy for phasing out a legacy integration framework and replacing it with SNS/SQS.
• 10:30 – 11:00: Help a colleague with a question about storing and rotating certificates in AWS. 
• 11:00 – 12:00: Join the architecture chapter to provide feedback on the latest RFCs within the domain. 
• 12:00 – 13:00: Lunch with colleagues in our Food Café and enjoy a short walk afterwards.
• 13:00 – 14:00: Participate in the weekly alignment meeting with the engineering lead and product owner. 
• 14:00 – 15:00: Present your engineering strategy to the architect and director and collect their feedback.
• 15:00 – 17:00: Work on a proof of concept for adopting federated GraphQL within our landscape.

Together, we are Jumbo: Where you'll work
You'll will support in the technical endeavors of your sub-domain. Together with peers and a domain architect you make sure that the teams' plans are aligned across the department. You work directly with an engineering lead who will support you in your professional development.
