Working at Albert Heijn is not just a job; it's meaningful work. You work in an informal atmosphere alongside a passionate team that strives to stay ahead and make a difference. With your unique talents, you have an impact on the lives of our customers. You learn from experts in their fields, and we assist you in shaping your career. You can work flexibly with us, either from home or at our headquarters in Zaandam. A job at Albert Heijn is not just a job for now but also for the future.

What does this mean for you?

As an Azure Infrastructure Engineer in the Retail Business Platform Enablement Team, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our cloud infrastructure with a strong emphasis on FinOps optimization. Your mission is to enhance the predictability and visibility of cloud costs, enabling smarter budgeting and decision-making across teams. You’ll work hands-on with Azure, Terraform, Bicep, Pulumi, and Ansible to continuously improve our infrastructure, ensuring it’s not only scalable and secure but also cost-efficient. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering teams and the central FinOps organization to implement actionable insights, drive cost-saving initiatives, and embed financial accountability into our cloud operations.

 

 

About the Role

  • FinOps & Cost Optimization: You will lead efforts to improve cost predictability and reduce cloud spend by leveraging Azure Cost Management, custom dashboards, and governance tools like Azure Policy and Advisor. You’ll help define and drive OKRs focused on cloud cost reduction and financial transparency
  • Cloud Infrastructure Engineering: Design and implement cloud-optimized solutions using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Bicep), ensuring every deployment is auditable, efficient, and aligned with best practices
  • Governance & Automation: Build reusable modules and guardrails that enforce cost-conscious architecture decisions. Automate infrastructure changes and integrate cost checks into CI/CD pipelines
  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with product owners, engineers, and the central FinOps team to roll out tooling, refine processes, and coordinate initiatives that elevate our operational maturity and financial discipline
  • Culture & Enablement: Foster a collaborative environment where experimentation and learning are encouraged. Share knowledge and promote a culture of cost-awareness and technical excellence

 

 

Your new team and office.

Together with your RBP Enablement Team you will work on inspiring projects to accelerate our transition into a hybrid Food & Tech company. We want to leverage data and technology to future-proof food shopping and give our customers accessibility to healthy food more easily available for everyone. At Albert Heijn, you team up with inspiring peers in the data, digital and tech domains. A community of diverse individuals who share a common goal; to create digital solutions that make (online) shopping simpler and more inspiring. Are you ready to reinvent the way millions of people buy and enjoy their food? We invest heavily in data, digital and tech. And that includes investing in your career! Our teams work in a hybrid way: both from home as well as in the office. We are located right next to the train station Zaandam. 

 

We think it’s important to be part of a high-belonging team; a team where you can be yourself and feel safe, accepted and appreciated. For this job we are preferably looking for someone who brings diversity in our team, in the widest possible sense. Someone who is a great addition to our team by bringing other ideas to the table. So, don’t check all the boxes? Don’t worry, we probably don’t either 😉. Don’t hesitate to apply if you think you are up for the challenge, we’re happy to have a look at your resume!
