Summary
About the role
The Engineering Effectiveness organisation is a dynamic new group on a mission
to empower Tesco’s software engineering teams. We identify common problems
faced by engineers across the organisation and tackle them by developing
innovative tools and platforms. As Tesco continues to grow, our engineering
systems become increasingly intricate. However, our challenge remains
deceptively simple: ensure that Tesco engineers have a stellar experience, even as
complexity rises. Our work has a direct impact on every engineering team across
Tesco, and by making them more effective, we ultimately accelerate innovation.
The mission of the Service Communication & Security team is to provide
performant, resilient and secure interservice communication, across our cloud and
till estates.
We build and operate a set of cloud-native services, infrastructure and CLIs,
responsible for managing all of Tesco’s API traffic – think millions of requests per
day. Tesco’s enormous footprint means that our systems operate at vast scale and
our teams require super high availability and ultra low latency.
We obsess about system operability and as such focus heavily on observability,
fully automated deployments, continuous improvement, and refinement in turn
minimising system support costs. We practice continuous integration and delivery
which allow us to deliver business value frequently while minimising risk.
