Your work will ensure accurate, timely information reaches downstream systems and business users. Own features end to end - take responsibility for everything from design through development, testing, deployment and production monitoring. You will balance delivery speed with sustainability, ensuring the platform remains maintainable over time. Shape the technical direction of our Stock Platform - help design and evolve the services, APIs and event flows that power how we track and move stock across suppliers, distribution centres, stores and digital channels. You'll craft solutions that balance data quality, integration reliability and operational resilience, using our modern toolchain (GitHub, CI/CD, observability and cloud infrastructure) to build a scalable stock platform that other teams can depend on. Champion engineering excellence - write clean, maintainable, well tested code and help establish best practices across multiple teams. You will encourage a continuous improvement culture through code reviews, pair programming, and high quality documentation. Drive operational excellence and observability - share responsibility for the reliability of our data integrations. Use observability tools such as Dynatrace to design for monitoring and alerting and participate in our support rota to ensure supply chain and pricing data remains accurate and available. Collaborate widely - work closely with Product Managers, cross functional engineering teams and other Fulfilment teams to solve real business problems in thoughtful and innovative ways. Cross functional decision making and breaking down information silos are essential to shortening time to value. Mentor and support colleagues - provide coaching and feedback to more junior engineers. Help grow our community of practice by sharing knowledge and fostering an inclusive environment. Who you are Experienced in data intensive distributed systems - 5+ years building and scaling services that handle large datasets, ideally serving millions of records or transactions. You understand both batch and event driven processing and can design systems that remain resilient at scale. Skilled in JVM languages - proficient in one or more JVM based languages such as Java and Kotlin, ideally working with Micronaut, and comfortable writing clean, maintainable code. DevOps and CI/CD practitioner - experienced in designing and running CI/CD pipelines (for example, GitHub Actions) and driving improvements in developer productivity and release automation. Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) helps automate repeatable infrastructure changes. Cloud and data platform savvy - comfortable working in cloud environments (preferably Azure) and familiar with modern data processing and integration tools. Experience with Kafka for event streaming, SFTP for batch data ingestion, relational and NoSQL databases (MongoDB), and SaaS integrations for product lifecycle and pricing is highly valued. Exposure to containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, and infrastructure automation with Terraform, is a plus. Data modelling and integration expert - understand domain driven design, data contracts and schema evolution. You care about data quality and integrity and know how to integrate with third party systems without excessive customisation. Balance strategic thinking with pragmatic delivery - you can weigh long term architectural goals against immediate business needs, are sensitive to commercial impacts, and thrive in high autonomy teams. Security and quality minded - experience using modern security and static analysis tools such as Snyk and Semgrep to identify vulnerabilities and enforce coding standards. A commitment to secure coding practices and compliance is essential. Curious about AI assisted development - open to leveraging emerging tools like GitHub Copilot to enhance productivity and accelerate learning while maintaining code quality. Being a part of M&S is exactly that - becoming a part and playing your part. We're an inclusive, dynamic, exciting and always evolving business built on core values. Here are some of the benefits we offer that make working for M&S just that little bit more special: What's in it for you 20% colleague discount on most things from furniture, fashion and food.
