Working with and for a smile
Jumbo's ambition is to be the most customer-oriented company. We aim to surprise our customers and exceed expectations, so they enjoy shopping with us. With over 700 stores in the Netherlands and Belgium, the option to have groceries delivered via jumbo.com, our own distribution centers, and office colleagues, we work together every day to achieve this ambition. Collaborating to win over the customer is what drives us at Jumbo.

As a Senior Java Developer, you make an important contribution to Jumbo by improving our backend e-commerce platform. Our platform has to keep up with our everyday growing customer base, and that's why we are looking for the best developers. Are you a software craftsman who can write maintainable, clean, and testable code, but can also contribute to the development of a team? Then this is your chance to join our Jumbo development family!

Get started! This is what you’ll do
Working at Jumbo means working in an international agile-minded working environment with many technical challenges. You will work on innovative products and services which we release more and more by continuous delivery. You identify complexity in our landscape and are someone who drives improvement and innovation as a servant leader.

As a Senior Java Developer, you will be part of one of our scrum teams. Each team has all the skills to implement a user story from A to Z. Your agile team consists of developers, a business analyst, scrum master, product owner, and UX designer. Together you will work in sprints of two weeks.

Together, we are Jumbo: This is where you'll work
A lot happens at Jumbo: no day is the same, we switch quickly and look at how we can do better every day for our customers and colleagues. We encourage you to see opportunities and take initiative on matters that contribute to our objectives. With an informal working atmosphere, room for initiative, humor, and fun, you work at Jumbo every day with a smile.

Jumbo is the second-largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands and has a great ambition for its online presence. We are transforming into a more technology-focused company. At our Jumbo Tech Campus, all technical professionals are brought together. We are organized based on agile principles and our 400 IT professionals work in multi-disciplinary scrum teams. So, you will be working today on the newest food experience that our customers will be able to use tomorrow!

At Jumbo, we are looking for go-getters, people with good ideas and the courage to work together on them. We care for each other: our customers, colleagues, and the world around us, and we want to do a little better every day. All our (future) colleagues bring a healthy dose of Jumbo DNA with them, and so do you! Additionally, you also have:

• At least 8 years of experience as a Java developer, preferably in an e-commerce environment;
• You are a software craftsman. You care about clean code and you promote software development best practices and principles within the team and the department. The code you write is shipped with tests. TDD is not a must, but encouraged;
• You have experience with Java 21, Spring Framework, JUnit, and Tomcat as well as with development tools like Terraform, Git, Github actions, and Maven. Continuous delivery is not a mystery to you;
• Take an active role in architectural discussions, leading and contributing to RFCs and ADRs to ensure scalable and maintainable solutions. Collaborate closely with stakeholders across teams, ensuring alignment between technical and business
• You get a smile from being a mentor to your team members: review each other’s code, learn from each other and support less experienced team members in growing their skills.

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 €4.900 - €6.400 per month (based on 40 hours).
• An annual bonus of max 7,5% 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.
