As one of the Best Big Companies to Work For, we have a rich history of loving our customers and looking after our teams. We understand that success is achieved through our people, and we are searching for a committed and passionate Junior Software Engineer to join our growing business.
Our Team
The Software Engineering team are well established at Iceland. Weve delivered software solutions across many parts of the business and are a key function in delivering Icelands 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, including initiatives to embed AI and machine learning into our solutions. From intelligent chatbots to predictive forecasting were exploring how these technologies can transform internal processes. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a keen interest in generative AI and machine learning.
The team has grown significantly over recent years and as a result weve 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.
In this role, you can expect to:
Use the latest web technology to build quality and innovative software solutions, including .NET 8, C# 12 and Vue.js.
Design and implement AI-driven solutions using Microsoft Azure AI Services, and modern frameworks to integrate generative AI into internal applications such as chatbots and intelligent automation tools.
Work with Azure Machine Learning and modern frameworks to build predictive models for forecasting demand, trends, and operational performance, helping drive data-informed decisions across the business.
Collaborate closely with your agile squad of developers, BAs and testers to collaborate on solutions.
Build greenfield, extend, or enhance existing functionality as well as building towards a new modular platform.
Follow our agile way of working by attending stand-ups, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and design and planning sessions.
Work with the latest infrastructure offered by Microsoft Azure to implement your solutions, utilising CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code.
Research new tools and techniques and challenge the status quo.
You should apply if:
You have a keen interest in AI and Machine Learning and want to explore how these technologies can solve real-world business challenges.
You have a passion for tech and want to learn new things.
You enjoy working across the full stack to deliver applications in the cloud.
You have experience with, or are keen to use modern JavaScript frameworks
You love to make things better for people who use your application.
You constantly strive for technical excellence.
What you can expect from us:
A collaborative and informal environment.
Managers and squad members who invest in your professional and personal growth.
Passionate and imaginative technical teams to work and collaborate with.
A forward-thinking leadership team that puts confidence in you and gives you the autonomy to deliver what the business needs.
We encourage new ideas to help keep us moving in the right direction and have design authority meetings to give you the chance to excite us with your ideas.
