ASOS are growing our engineering leadership capability and we really want to hear from engineers who are ready for the next step in their career. We recognise the world is a small place so location is open for discussion. The roles will operate under the ASOS version of a hybrid working model.
You are a seasoned technologist with a depth of practical knowledge in guiding multi-discipline teams through the full delivery lifecycle of complex, large-scale, distributed software systems.
You have a breadth of exposure to engineering and architecture across technology disciplines. You really understand the unique aspects of software development, automated testing, quality assurance, data handling and integration.
You take pride in being considered a ‘go-to’ technical authority with deep knowledge and skills. You are happy to help teams and team members to deliver great software, whether through general advice and guidance, hands-on coaching, working through technical designs or as a point of escalation if required.
You are familiar with sync and async design patterns for enterprise integration and data, which are the foundation of reliability and resilience in complex, high-scale systems like ours.
We really want to hear from people who have a passion for producing quality software and systems that are cloud first. We use Microsoft Azure but transferable knowledge of other cloud providers is fine. For us, quality software is designed and built with a test-first mindset, following good software crafting approaches. Our software is built from the ground up with a security and operational readiness mindset. We use automated, repeatable CI/CD pipelines to deploy safely right through to production.
As a Principal Software Engineer your goal is to make engineering - and our engineers - better, every day. You are approachable, collaborative and you actively nurture a diverse and inclusive workplace.
You work closely with engineering teams to refine their existing development practices, processes and technologies, as well as explore new ones. You help them to overcome technical hurdles of any size or complexity and if needed you will join a team to work on stories and code alongside them. You also work closely with your peers in the Principal Engineering team, to share your innovations and initiatives across Tech and to support others doing the same.
We do things a certain way - The ASOS Way. It’s in our DNA and runs through everything we do. It defines who we are, what we do and how we do it. Some things change - these don’t.
We are proud to be a part of ASOS. We always give our best and we celebrate our successes.
We know our customers love fashion and we understand what they want. We know our stuff inside and out and we put our customers at the heart of everything we do.
Restlessly Innovative
We never stand still. We give it a go and we are brave.
Collaborative and Respectful
We work together to get the job done. We grow ideas from within. We make things happen and we do the right thing.
People are the future of our business and we have really big ideas. We know we need people who can turn these ideas into reality – it’s our people that make the difference.
