At the core of our operation are the APIs that handle a variety of payment methods including cash, card and gift card across stores, at our fuel stations and online. We also support wallet behaviours, repeat payments, refunds and identity checks.

As a Senior Software Developer at Tesco, you are responsible for the entire development and support process for a software programme.

The stack; .NET/C#, Cassandra, Docker, HAProxy, Azure DevOps. TDD and a 'you build it, you run it' DevOps approach are also key parts of our engineering culture. Automation is a key area of focus for us. Our scale and workloads demand that we continuously improve our approaches to testing and deployment.
