The Role
At Debenhams Group, we are on a journey of transformation, revitalising our brand, culture, and connection with colleagues and customers alike. In a fast-changing retail environment, effective and authentic communication is vital to building trust, aligning our teams, and amplifying the impact of our work across internal and external audiences.
We are looking to hire an experienced Software Engineer to join the integrations team. This role will be based out of our central Manchester office.
What You'll Be Doing
You’ll work across a serverless, event-driven architecture on AWS, contributing to services that ingest, enrich, and distribute millions of product records across our brands and e-commerce partners.
- Building and extending serverless data pipelines using AWS Lambda, EventBridge, SQS, and Step Functions
- Developing and maintaining GraphQL APIs via AWS AppSync
- Integrating with third-party e-commerce platforms and marketplace APIs
- Managing cloud infrastructure using Terraform and AWS CDK
- Supporting AI-driven product enrichment work using AWS Bedrock
- Writing well-tested TypeScript across a microservices monorepo, with some Python where needed
