We are in the process of building and rolling out our next generation, dynamic, scalable, and resilient Fulfilment platform for Tesco, to address both manual, and robotic powered automate fulfilment operations, across all the customer order fulfilment locations. This highly optimized and continuously improving fulfilment platform is designed to be used to fulfil all product categories - Grocery /GM and Fashion, of Customer Orders.
This platform, Fulfilment Point System (FPS), enables all the customer order fulfilment centres across different geographies to pick, marshal and dispatch customer orders on one hand and manage the site workflow through a real‑time visualisation and intervention tool, on the other hand.
Ours is a globally distributed, full stack java tech team and our building blocks consist of a set of Microservice components, backend APIs, Rich UI, robust Eventing Platform and Data layer components utilising a wide range of modern technologies including:
* Java, RxJava, SpringBoot
* Kafka, PostgreSQL and Couchbase
* Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Splunk, AppDynamics, New Relic
* Azure Cloud
We are responsible for the software throughout the lifecycle. We maintain a DevOps culture employing continuous integration and delivery, supporting our code through to production and beyond.
