Working with – and for – a smile
At Jumbo, our ambition is to be the most customer-oriented company. We want to surprise our customers and exceed expectations, making grocery shopping with us an enjoyable experience every time. With more than 700 stores in the Netherlands and Belgium, our online platform jumbo.com, our own distribution centers, and the colleagues at our head office, we work together every day toward this ambition. Entrepreneurship with the goal of winning the customer – that’s what we stand for at Jumbo.

Get started! This is what you’ll do
As a Back-End Developer, you play a key role in further developing and improving our Supply Chain landscape. You’ll work with a wide range of technologies and integrations that connect our partners and applications. On a daily basis, you’ll write maintainable, clean Java code that is continuously tested and deployed through pipelines into our Kubernetes environments.

You gather functional and technical requirements and translate them into solid solution designs. With a consultancy mindset, you proactively identify opportunities to improve products and processes, while closely collaborating with the business and stakeholders. You’ll work with multiple cloud technologies and be part of an Agile development team operating according to Scrum principles. Within the team, you also coach colleagues through code reviews and active knowledge sharing.

The principle you build it, you run it, you own it is central: you’re not only responsible for building, but also for running, maintaining, and supporting the products in your team’s portfolio.

Together we are Jumbo
At Jumbo, every day is different. We move quickly and constantly look for ways to do things better—for our customers and our colleagues. You’re encouraged to spot opportunities and take initiative. You’ll work in an informal atmosphere with room for humor and fun, where collaboration with a smile is part of our DNA.

Your team will consist of at least a Product Owner, three developers, and a test coordinator, supported by Business Consultants from the core systems. As a Back-End Developer, you’ll be part of the Channel & Support department.

At Jumbo, we’re looking for go-getters—people with great ideas and the courage to put them into action together. We care about each other: our customers, our colleagues, and the world around us. And every day, we strive to do things just a little bit better. All our (future) colleagues carry a healthy dose of Jumbo DNA—and so will you!

In addition, you bring the following:

• 3–5 years of experience as a Java Developer, preferably in a food retail environment
• Experience with Java 17+
• Experience with Spring Boot
• Experience with AWS or Azure (preferably AWS)
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Oracle DB
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
• Experience with Git and Datadog

We’re looking for Java Developers who are passionate about their craft, who care about the quality of both their code and the products they create. You enjoy working in an Agile team and don’t wait around for things to happen—you make them happen. You have a true passion for software development in the broadest sense and love to share that passion with your colleagues.

At Jumbo, you’ll find a work environment with warmth, enjoyment, and attention for each other. Where you have plenty of room to contribute to our ambition of becoming the most customer-oriented company. Just as you’re there for our customers, we’re there for you. Additionally, you’ll receive:

• A gross salary between € 4.400 - € 6.300 per month (based on 40 hours).
• An annual bonus of max 5% of your annual salary, based on organizational goals.
• 30 days of paid holiday (with the opportunity to buy or sell days of paid holiday) and 8% holiday allowance. You build up a pension through participation in the Pension Fund for the Food Industry.
• An allowance for your travel expenses (€ 0.21 cents per kilometer with a maximum of 35 kilometers one way). We like to work together in the office, but you can also work partly from home.
• Room for entrepreneurship, growth and development. Not only in your job but also through our Jumbo Academy, online training through GoodHabitz and with a training budget.
• Daily fresh lunch in our Foodcafé, good coffee and fresh fruit. You can sport daily at our own Jumbo Gym for a small fee.
• Colleague discounts such as 10% off your groceries (up to €325 per year), participation in our collective health insurance or discounts through Benefits at Work.
