Does DATA and TECHNOLOGY run through your veins, then look no further: are you the new Cloud & Platform engineer with a keen interest in Databricks to run all of our data platforms and who can bring our Food and Tech company to the next level?

At Albert Heijn Tech, we are on a mission to redefine how teams use Databricks securely and at scale. Our Managed Azure Databricks (MAD) platform provides a secure, compliant, and high-performing environment for data scientists and engineers to unlock the full potential of their data.
As our Cloud & Databricks Platform Engineer, you will play a key role in building and evolving MAD, ensuring seamless workspace provisioning, security enforcement, and automation. If you love Terraform, Azure, and Databricks administration, and want to work on a cutting-edge platform that powers one of the largest data ecosystems in retail, this is the role for you!

This is how you will reinvent food retail.

• Collaborate with key stakeholders to understand their requirements, providing expert guidance and ensuring effective communication throughout the project lifecycle.
• Design innovative and scalable solutions based on business needs.
• Manage Databricks infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles to ensure consistency, scalability, and automation in deployments and configuration.
• Apply hands-on expertise with Terraform to deploy, configure, and manage Databricks environments.
• Leverage your Databricks experience to build and optimize data workflows, pipelines, and integrations, ensuring robust and reliable data processing systems.

Your new team and office. 
Together with your team of engineers, you will work on inspiring projects to accelerate our transition into a hybrid Food & Tech company. We want to leverage data and technology to future-proof food shopping and give our customers the accessibility to healthy food more easily available for everyone. At Albert Heijn, you team up with inspiring peers in the data, digital and tech domains. A community of diverse individuals who share a common goal; to create digital solutions that make (online) shopping simpler and more inspiring. Are you ready to reinvent the way millions of people buy and enjoy their food? We invest heavily in data, digital and tech. And that includes investing in your career! Our teams work in a hybrid way: both from home as well as in the office. We are located right next to the train station of Zaandam.

We think it’s important to be part of a high-belonging team; a team where you can be yourself and feel safe, accepted and appreciated. For this job we are preferably looking for someone who brings diversity to our team, in the widest possible sense. Someone who is a great addition to our team by bringing other ideas to the table. Don’t check all the boxes? Don’t worry, we probably don’t either 😉. Don’t hesitate to apply if you think you are up for the challenge, we’re happy to have a look at your resume!

• A minimum of 6 years of relevant experience in DevOps practices, cloud infrastructure management, automation, and related areas.
