Why join us
As a .Net Engineer, you’ll apply architectural and engineering principles to define and deliver technology that provides better customer experiences and business efficiency, and reduces business costs.

What you'll do
You will be responsible for owning the design and development of highly performant and user-friendly web frontends using technologies such as / NextJS, with TypeScript. You will contribute to our product technical roadmap and implement cloud and container technologies such as Kubernetes on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Leading the design and support of services and internal frameworks that enhance Sainsbury's capabilities will be part of your role.
Throughout the whole product lifecycle, including decommissioning, you will demonstrate engineering expertise, knowledge of engineering and architectural principles, and proven experience in software design and implementation, security, cloud, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD. Your drive for continuous improvement, advocacy of agile/lean delivery methodologies, and passion for delivering solutions to customers will shine through in your work.
You will display empathy and understanding in supporting your colleagues in the team to deliver, while also keeping yourself up-to-date with emerging technologies and maintaining a strong focus on work-life balance.
You’ll also help implement cloud technologies such as AWS and Google Cloud Platform, drive the product technical roadmap design and support services and internal frameworks that enhance Sainsbury’s Group capabilities. Throughout, you’ll share your technical knowledge and ideas with the wider team.
Who you are
With a strong background in programming languages like C# .NET and JavaScript, you possess a deep understanding of engineering and architectural principles, enabling you to contribute to the product technical roadmap and implement cutting-edge cloud and container technologies.
Your passion for continuous improvement, agile/lean delivery methodologies, and delivering solutions to customers drives you to constantly enhance your knowledge and explore emerging technologies. Your collaborative nature and commitment to the DevSecOps principles enable you to support and empower your colleagues in delivering exceptional results.
We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work-life balance. That’s waiting for you at Sainsbury’s. Think about the scale it takes for us to feed the nation. The level of data, transactions and variety it involves. Then you’ll realise that ours is a modern software engineering environment because it has to be. We’ve made serious investment into a Tech Academy and into setting standards and principles. We iterate, learn, experiment and push ways of working such as Agile, Scrum and XP. So you can look forward to awesome opportunities in everything from AI to reusable tech.
