Engineering Manager Frontend

Join Albert Heijn as an Engineering Manager Frontend and make a real impact on the logistics processes for AH home deliveries. In this role, you will help shape the future landscape in eCommerce Logistics by leading the transition to a modern React-based tech foundation.

You will be joining the Ecommerce Backoffice team, which is dedicated to fulfilling our promises to customers and making sure logistics processes run smooth for all deliveries.
