Ocado Technology is putting the world’s retailers online using advanced artificial intelligence, robotics, big data, the cloud and IoT. We develop the innovative software and hardware systems that power Ocado.com, as well as the unique ‘Ocado Smart Platform’ which is being implemented by ambitious retailers in five continents. 

What’s more, the competencies, technologies and IP we have acquired throughout our journey of innovation and self-disruption can be applied to solve many complex problems in the grocery sector and beyond.

With everything from websites to highly automated warehouses that we design in-house, our employees are skilled specialists with expertise across a wide range of technologies, working on cutting-edge innovations that are shaping the future of our society.

Tech Stack

We encourage developers to exercise autonomy in how they approach and solve problems. This means our tech stack is continually evolving, although there are common threads across areas.

• Java’s flexibility, popularity and mature ecosystem makes it ideal for developing intelligent systems and high-performance applications that support our business end-to-end.
• Python is often leveraged when solving data science and infrastructure problems.
• Apps (Android and iOS) are used to provide apps to grocery customers and to support logistics activities.
• We use C++ and embedded technologies in our automation and robotics developments.

Be bold, be brilliant, be unique, be you.

We strongly believe that DE&I drives innovation and leads to success so we’re taking action to ensure that our people feel understood, respected and able to contribute their best ideas. We’re fully committed to supporting our talented female colleagues through the development opportunities and benefits that we offer.
