Senior Full Stack Engineer - Store Tech

At HEMA, we are building an efficient and future-proof retail technology landscape. To achieve this, we are establishing a new Engineering Organization. This is your chance to help lay the technological foundation for the most iconic, nearly 100-year-old department store in the Netherlands. Do you want to make a direct impact on HEMA’s digital progress? Then this role is for you!

the challenge

In this role, you become part of the Store Tech domain: the team responsible for the digital solutions that support our store operations. You will work on a landscape that includes PDA applications, custom native apps, SaaS solutions, APIs, Kafka events, AWS DataZone, file transfers and a microservices architecture. You will help connect store processes with modern technology, working closely with product owners, business analysts, engineers, and stakeholders from the business. Together, you translate operational needs into scalable, reliable, and maintainable solutions. A key part of your role is also to help modernise the Store Tech landscape. You contribute to migrating legacy solutions such as SHS, CSI, and CCTV towards more future-proof architectures. By doing so, you help HEMA build stronger internal ownership, reduce dependency on external suppliers, and create sustainable domain knowledge within the engineering organisation. You will work with technologies and systems such as React Native, SAP integrations, REST APIs, IDocs, ABAP, Kafka, AWS Lambda, RFID platforms, ESL solutions and SaaS platforms such as Nedap iD Cloud, Hanshow, Blue Yonder and SMaas. This role reports to our Chapter Lead Backend, while you work day-to-day in the Store Tech domain on solutions that directly support our stores. The chapters bring engineers with similar expertise together to share knowledge, strengthen engineering standards and support professional growth across domains.
