About the role:

Sainsburys Tech - Backend Engineer - Golang

They'd all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for you at Sainsbury’s. Think about the scale it takes for them to feed the nation. The level of data, transactions and variety it involves. Then you’ll realise that theirs is a modern software engineering environment because it has to be. They've made serious investment into a Tech Academy and into setting standards and principles. They iterate, learn, experiment and push ways of working such as Agile, Scrum and XP. So you can look forward to awesome opportunities in everything from AI to reusable tech.

Why join us

They think they've got the most exciting data set in the country — thanks to over 1.2 billion transactions per year. For you, it means the chance to solve real-world problems and see your creations in the hands of millions of people across the UK. As a Golang Engineer, you’ll be applying architectural and engineering principles to define and deliver technology that will improve the customer experience and reduce their costs. You’ll also have the chance to be yourself – analytical, curious and unafraid to learn new skills or challenge the status quo. You’ll always look to improve the way things are done in your team, too.

What you'll do

You’ll help lead design and development of large-scale high performance micro services using technologies such as Golang and Docker. While you’ll be focusing on your own specialism, you’ll have every opportunity to learn and work with other technologies.

You’ll also contribute to the entire product development lifecycle from roadmap, through delivery to potential decommissioning. Throughout, you’ll be part of a lean environment that believes in team spirit and delivers early and often.

Who you are

You should be able to write great quality Go code and build RESTful APIs, and have experience across software design and implementation, security, cloud services and CI/CD.

Happy with agile methodologies, you’ll work well with others, be keen to learn and always be on top of industry trends and emerging tech.
