Who are We

Advanced Technology is a division within Ocado Technology that focuses on the development of strategic and specifically complex, emergent technologies. Ones that are critical to the future of Ocado & the Ocado Smart Platform.

We, the Chuck Norris team, are a proud part of Advanced Technology. Our main work focus is the software systems that drive our Mobile Robotics Products. This includes mobile applications, backend microservices, workflow services, integration layer APIs, and components. The Chuck Autonomous Mobile Robot and its software systems are the main products we are contributing to. 

The team is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable, multi-tenant cloud back-end systems for controlling and configuring robots that work for multiple customers with high availability and performance. This role focuses on system architecture, service design, and the development of a cloud-based software platform that supports the Ocado autonomous mobile robots operating in customer warehouses.

This position is pivotal in shaping the architecture and functionality of Ocado Mobile Robotics cloud-based backend systems, which directly impact the performance and reliability of our autonomous mobile robot fleet services. 

By creating scalable and efficient robotics systems, the engineer ensures smooth and robust operations that satisfy existing customers, optimizes costs by designing and upgrading systems to reduce operational expenses, and enhances system characteristics to attract new customers.

  • Maintenance & support: participate in on-call rotations, lead efforts in effective and efficient troubleshooting -  root cause analysis, and resolution of production issues.

You might be also involved in: 

  • CI/CD pipelines: manage automated deployment pipelines (CircleCI and Jenkins).
  • Infrastructure: enhance CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes deployment strategies, and automation.
  • Mentoring & knowledge sharing: coach and develop engineers, and foster technical growth.

What Are We Looking For

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the job hunt!

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Best wishes with EchoJobs—it's become my favorite job board overnight!

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
