“We are on a mission: to transform the future of online grocery through cutting-edge technology innovation.”
Data already powers insights, products and capabilities in every part of Ocado Technology but we’re really just getting started. We are looking to build a new London-based Data Engineering team focussing on the Fulfilment stream with the mission to serve reliable and relevant product data to internal and external customers. This is important to help product managers make better decisions on how to take Fulfilment capabilities to the next level, whether this is about improving the management of our highly automated Customer Fulfilment Centres or optimising order fulfilment from grocery stores. We also want to provide high quality data feeds to the retailers using our platform, enabling end-to-end visibility of the fulfilment process and driving improvements to their business and customer service.

You will be responsible for:
- Proactively driving the Data Engineering vision for the Fulfilment stream, both for internal consumption (BI Data Warehouse) and for external consumption (by retailers)
- Leading, inspiring and coaching a team of 5+ Data Engineers (who could be located in different, international development centres)

- Are comfortable getting hands on with data technologies
- Have managed Data Engineers and are comfortable in leading and motivating a team
- Have experience with agile planning and delivery
