About the Tesco Technology - Commercials

We design and build the systems and processes that allow our commercial colleagues to source, select and sell the best products for our customers. We cover the entire lifecycle of products, where we source (suppliers), what we buy (products), where we sell (ranging), where to find on shelf/screen (planogram) through to how we manage the exit of products from stores (stock/waste/price integrity mgmt.).

Delivering this involves multiple engineering products that form part of Tesco’s Retail Platform, built using micro-services, cloud-native and serve at scale. We are a group team and provide solutions for all our markets.

As an engineering organisation, we have strong emphasis on open-source tools and technologies. We work on exciting opportunities that simplifies the customer journey, enhances supplier interaction and enable omni-channel with multiple fulfilment options. With Woosh, we enabled 30 mins delivery of fresh products. We deal with exciting engineering scale challenges with millions of API hits across 5 countries and that calls for some real innovation. We use hybrid cloud with deployments across public and private cloud spread out to multiple zones for failover. Our engineering culture encourage ownership, accountability, and teamwork
