We believe in shipping quality, tested, secure and consistent code. You will also work closely with other development teams and the DevSecOps squad to ensure the solution is performant and reliable.

About the team

The Tesco Mobile Development team is a truly cross functional team responsible for the functional software development of bespoke and product / SaaS based IT solutions.

The squad owns several strategic services and is accountable for both their ongoing development and their DevOps responsibilities. Depending on business priorities you may also contribute to other squads.
