In addition, you are developing monitoring dashboards and/or alerting automation to make the processes easier and faster for our most critical core retail business chains. Thanks to your actions, everyone in the product team and business is aware of the up-to-date processes and you ensure timely communication in case something is broken. You also ensure that these processes are supported with tools and technology that you can develop yourself.

• Dividing your time between managing major incidents and hands on engineering on resiliency and observability topics
• Not being afraid to work together with the DevOps teams to engineer resilient systems using the latest (cloud) technologies
• Together with involved resolution teams and suppliers, ensure minimal impact for our business stakeholders
• Continuously improving the processes regarding to Incident Command and spread this knowledge by providing training. With the aim of making each Incident a learning moment, so that it won’t reoccur or can be solved even faster.
At Albert Heijn we work with the latest technologies and innovative solutions such as Azure cloud, Kubernetes, GitHub CI/CD, etc. while also dealing with complex large-scale systems needed to operate the dynamic world of stores and distribution centers. There is an open engineering culture, with room for your ideas, you get ownership, and we expect your own initiative. You are really a spider in the web and must deal with different departments and levels within the organization. Chaos Engineering is a subject we want to develop further; the ideal candidate has knowledge / experience in Chaos Engineering and wants to share his/her enthusiasm with the rest of the department.
You will be part of the AH Retail Tech Platform and more specifically the Retail Enabling cluster. We work daily with technology transformations, improvements and challenges at scale with our 1100+ stores, 6 distribution centers and our HQ employees. As a result, we aim to deliver an optimal experience for all our colleagues. Within the Enabling cluster, we work on various matters to ensure that product teams can focus primarily on delivering customer value. Our focus is mainly on technology modernization and resiliency engineering through automation. The team makes sure that if something breaks, we quickly fix it together again and prevent this from happening again. We are problem solvers and hate it when customers or our own business has an impact from a disruption. There is a no blame culture, we roll up our sleeves and fix the problem. Afterwards we look back together to see where we can structurally improve.
