Our Story
As a business inside one of Australia's largest retailers, WooliesX aims to bring the best of Woolworths to our customers, powered by our team, technology and data.
We’re an innovation business that brings together the brightest minds in e-commerce, technology, media, and data to transform the way people live and shop.
With an industry leading technology team, backed by analytics, we’re resourceful and willing to experiment. Our agile teams are empowered to innovate and deliver an awesome experience for our customers - no matter whether they choose to shop in-store, or online.
What are we looking for?
Our Cloud & Platform Engineering chapter brings together engineers from all over the world and across a variety of businesses to develop the hosting and delivery strategy for WooliesX. We understand that individuals bring rich perspectives which sometimes hide behind quiet personalities. Leaders within the Cloud & Platform Engineering chapter help to ensure all voices are heard. This is accomplished through mentorship, coaching, and teaching those within the chapter as well as our squads.
The landscape of technology within WooliesX is a pairing between exciting technologies and opportunities to improve our customer connections and experiences. Our Fulfilled by Woolies business is driving innovation in the logistics and last mile experiences for customers which include automating the movement of physical goods, reducing data latency around stock and availability, and democratising access to key product information across our ecommerce businesses.
A leader in this space aims to balance current operations with transitioning technologies. This includes planning and reviewing changes to the architecture while working with teams to evangelise and coordinate solution roll out. The investments in the data and application hosting spaces enable squads to focus more on the customer value proposition while gaining resiliency and efficiency through collaboration.
