About the team

The Tesco Mobile Development team is a truly cross functional team responsible for the functional software development of bespoke and product / SaaS based IT solutions.

You will be working within a very diverse team of highly motivated and talented individuals on business-critical full-stack development. Our teams are motivated and challenged, working in sprints across a range of technologies which together provide huge benefit to the wider business.

This role sits primarily within the 'Acquisitions Platform' squad, which is responsible for developing and maintaining full-stack applications that support Tesco Mobile's customer acquisition journey as part of the wider 'I Choose' tribe. The squad owns several strategic services and is accountable for both their ongoing development and their DevOps responsibilities. Depending on business priorities you may also contribute to other squads.

Ways of working

We're an Agile organisation. Agile helps us respond quickly to our customers, make the most of our diverse talents, and stay focused on what really matters. It's more than just a 'methodology' to us - it's our way for everyone to give their best.

We blend office and virtual working. The office is our base, and we work best when we're together more than we're apart. But we know that regular office time isn't right for everyone, and we're open to talking about complete location flexibility for some roles.

For a small organisation, we use a wide variety of technologies. Plus, our connections with VirginMediaO2 and Tesco means there's lots of scope for a varied and stimulating opportunities.
