Amsterdam, Nederland Picnic Voltijd

At Picnic, we’re revolutionising the way people buy groceries with our innovative and sustainable app-only service. We do almost everything in-house, developing cutting-edge technologies and processes to ensure we continue to grow rapidly without missing a beat. If you’re excited about leading a development team building mission-critical products and services, then we have the right opportunity for you

If you’re a passionate Tech Lead we’re offering you the opportunity to join the diverse team at our Amsterdam HQ and make a real difference in our scaleup environment.

🥜 In a nutshell

Picnic operates more than 40 product tech teams that each provide an integral part of our customers' experience - from the point they start the app until the moment they hold their groceries in their hands. You’ll lead one of the teams in our Consumer domain. This domain is responsible for creating an engaging personalised shopping experience, delivered through our award-winning app. Teams in the Consumer domain build the core shopping flows, promotion mechanisms, targeting/personalization systems, and payment integrations to offer a seamless experience to our customers.

As Tech Lead you will be leading one of the Consumer domain teams and empower them to deliver high-quality, secure and performant solutions for the business we’re building. Together with the Product Owner you will evaluate initiatives and drive roadmap discussions. You’ll design and estimate technical solutions for the presented challenges together with your team.

You will be responsible for the delivery of projects and for developing the skills and strengths of the people working in your team. As a Tech Lead, you’ll lead by example, not by title.

🎯 What you’ll do
  • As a Tech Lead in our Consumer domain, you’ll work with stakeholders from tech and business to translate requirements into scalable and resilient solutions.
  • You help the team plan, prioritise and make the right trade-offs. Ensuring business goals are achieved while also realising your long-term technical vision.
  • You provide in-depth tech expertise for your product and act as point of contact for other teams wishing to use and cooperate with your product.
  • You are able to communicate your views both when specifying new features with stakeholders and while providing technical mentorship to your colleagues.
  • You build and evaluate team members through regular development conversations, personalized coaching, and mentorship to foster growth and achieve career goals.
  • You build it - you run it - you love it: you will be responsible for managing a sustainable support model for your product.

We don’t hide what we do. Instead, we open-source with the community that helped us grow. Here’s proof:

💻 Technologies we use
  • Java 21 (Spring 6 with Spring Boot 3, Reactor, Immutables, Maven)
  • Python 3.x
  • TypeScript, React and React Native
  • RabbitMQ and Kafka
  • MongoDB and PostgreSQL
  • Git and Docker
  • AWS, Helm, Terraform, Kubernetes, Vault
  • Datadog, Grafana and Prometheus

Attractive package
  • We offer competitive compensation and a pension plan that looks out for your future self, as well as 25 vacation days per year, so you can recharge your batteries

Benefits for expats

It can be daunting starting a new job AND moving to a new country. That’s why we offer lots of support for our many expat colleagues, including:

  • Relocation package: If you join Picnic from abroad, we’ll cover your trip to Amsterdam, sponsor your Visa, and offer you a month of accommodation while you settle in (as long as regulations allow).
  • In the Netherlands, we offer support with your first tax report as well as arranging the 30% ruling.
  • From health insurance to living arrangements to pet passports, there are always colleagues who’ve faced the same challenges and are more than happy to help

Commitment to equal opportunities

Picnic is an equal opportunity employer—this means that all decisions regarding applications will be based on qualifications and merit. Applicants will be regarded independently of age, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, skin color, civil status, religious beliefs, physical or mental disability, or any other factors protected by law.

At Picnic, we celebrate and value our differences and are committed to building a safe and inclusive working environment where everyone can be themselves.
