At Iceland, we value, recognize, and celebrate all colleagues for their good work. We pride ourselves on being team players who can work collaboratively with others. We offer some great opportunities for career progression and development, alongside a competitive salary and a great benefits package.
We have an opening for a Software Engineer to join our fast-paced IT department. This position would be suitable for a strong mid-level Software Engineer.
Our Team
The Software Engineering team are well established at Iceland. We’ve delivered software solutions across many parts of the business and are a key function in delivering Iceland’s future. Iceland has a fairly unique stance when assessing technical solution requirements. We will generally lean towards writing in-house solutions rather than buy off-the-shelf. This ensures we can deliver a highly tailored solution that is fit for our purpose. This has led to a need to expand the team as we continue to increase our portfolio of solutions developed by the team.
The roadmap is an exciting mixture of greenfield projects and continuous improvement, upgrading our existing estate of applications to the latest technologies and architecture. There’s a wealth of experience within the team and there’s always someone willing to offer their support and knowledge.
The team has grown significantly over recent years and as a result we’ve reorganised ourselves into smaller agile squads which each manage their own workstream and champion the business domains they work with.
Applications developed by the team are used through-out our business by all of our 30,000+ colleagues, so scalability and resilience are key to everything we do. Continuous integration and deployment have been fully adopted to automate code releases which gives our team more confidence when releasing code into production environments.
