About the Team
Tesco Labs is Tesco Technology’s research and development team. Based in both the UK (Welwyn Garden City) and in Central Europe, the team was conceived to shine a light on future opportunities and challenges for Tesco. Working both independently and with start-ups, enterprise partners, and other teams in Tesco Technology, Labs is a trusted source for emerging technology and is focused on prototyping and testing new ideas in areas that could significantly impact customers and the business in the future.
We develop full-stack solutions for platforms including web, desktop, mobile & tablet (both iOS and Android), wearables, mini-computers and microcontroller devices, creating end-to-end solutions including cloud-hosted or on-premise backend services when required. We architect in a service-oriented way where appropriate, investigating new development tools, languages, frameworks, and libraries to enhance or speed up the creation of our solutions along the way.
As an engineer in Tesco Labs, you will initially focus on refining prototype and trial products to productionise them, improving on their resilience, performance, scalability, and feature set. You’ll engage closely with our business teams and other technology colleagues to ensure that we have a robust, viable product that has been tested and proven.
Being in a research lab environment you’ll be an early adopter, maintaining a good knowledge of the latest technologies and devices (both consumer and business), keeping abreast of technological developments, and looking for opportunities to use those new technologies to benefit customers or colleagues.
You’ll need to be a great coach, sharing your knowledge amongst other team members, and a first-class communicator, driving conversations with stakeholders at all levels.
