About the role
At our company, data is essential to making informed decisions. We appreciate your perspective and welcome any insights you may have, but we prioritise the use of data in our decision-making process. To be a successful Backend Engineer at Mercadona Tech, you should know what makes phenomenal product experiences.
What you will do
The best way to understand how it is working with us is by asking our Backend Engineers: A day selling lechugas as Backend Engineer
Being a Backend Engineer at Mercadona Tech
We like to say that we, engineers, are product-minded engineers. We don't see the technology as a goal but as the cost we pay to achieve our goals, which is Selling Lettuce (Vendiendo Lechugas). This mindset makes us participate in all the stages of the process and collaborate with other roles such as Product Managers, Product Designers or Operations Managers, not just implementing the solution.Because we also like to say that we are data-driven, we have access to relevant data that lead us to make decisions. This makes us aware of what exact impact has had on what specific action we did as individuals and as a team.
All we do are feedback loops and so we are always looking for ways to maximize these while minimizing its size and cost. An example of this is one of our favorite Extreme Programming practices: TDD. It helps us keeping things simple and avoiding the overengineering!
Technology at our Backend Team
- We have our CI/CD structure set up with Jenkins (+Docker), and we deploy several times each day.
- Our stack is Python + Django/DRF, and we follow an Event-Driven Distributed Architecture.
- We add tests to everything (really, everything!) and we have an internal tool called Bodyguard responsible for our e2e tests.
- Sentry, Kibana, and Grafana are used to monitor everything going on.
