Description

About us:

At Ocado Technology we design and build the platform that powers Ocado, the world’s largest online-only grocery retailer. Our platform supports a wide range of services - shopping applications and websites, fulfilment solutions (automated warehouses, store pick solutions), back-office systems and delivery solutions, all crafted by our passionate team of software engineers.

Our product: 

The Hive Workspace cluster provides a suite of applications that aims to make any maintenance (remote or on site) and repair of our smart embedded systems as efficient and effective as possible. Our goal is to ensure our highly automated warehouses can deliver the best for our customers. Hive Workspace suite is one stop shop for all of the work our clients need to do in their warehouse, to have all the tools needed to operate, maintain and analyse performance and all of that with minimal human assistance.

Introducing Hive Operations (GMS), the all-in-one application designed to empower our users with the ability to monitor, manage, and resolve issues across multiple sites and grids from a single platform. Whether it’s troubleshooting bot-related issues or gaining real-time insights into system performance, Hive Operations offers a seamless, centralised solution for efficient remote management.

With Hive Operations, you can:

  • Monitor multiple sites in real-time with live status updates, ensuring you’re always in control of your operations.
  • View and prioritise issues effortlessly, allowing you to focus on what matters most across different sites.
  • Take action remotely, assigning tasks, analysing bot data, and even viewing CCTV footage to quickly resolve problems without needing to be on-site.

Our vision for the future goes beyond simple monitoring. We are committed to expanding Hive Operations to support the integration of various material handling equipment (MHEs) and leveraging cutting-edge technologies. This includes incorporating AI-driven smart recovery recommendations, enabling automatic recovery actions, and providing enhanced support for On-Grid Robotic Pick.

All of this is part of Ocado Smart Platform and you can find more details in this short video:

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
