Within Tesco Technology, Contact Service owns the Customer Contact domain. We build and maintain applications which power our ability to manage Tesco Customer Address Book & Consent choices. We build solutions which manage all Contact with Tesco Customers, be it Emails, Push Notifications, Text messages or Clubcard issuance. All of this at "Tesco scale". All of our Applications and Services need to be able to handle millions of requests per day, tolerate failures, scale in response to load; do all of this while placing security at the heart of everything we do.

We operate a devops philosophy. You, together with the rest of your team support in production what you build. We value delivery to production, getting data / feedback from production and using this data to drive further improvements and features. We release multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day.
