All the details As part of the M&S Software Engineering team, you’ll be joining a well‑loved historic brand, working on solutions that serve millions of loyal customers and thousands of colleagues! With ethical values that run right through the company’s core and technology leaders that truly understand software engineers and engineering, it’s an exciting time as we’re redefining ourselves into a digital first and engineering‑led organisation, with the quality of our engineering team being a key differentiator.
Team 2-8 Engineering Managers (Engineering Managers are responsible for 5-9 Engineers each).
4-8 Squads in a strategic Product Group (50-75 Engineers).

While M&S is principally a Java environment, the Personalisation group has a mix of Python and Java teams.
What You Will Need To Have
Significant hands‑on experience as a polyglot senior software engineer, with strong expertise across front‑end, back‑end, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and modern development frameworks.
Leading large product areas with 5+ teams.
Knowledge of Personalisation, Recommendation and Search concepts and their relation to e‑commerce. Ideally you would have awareness of the current state‑of‑the‑art.
Proven ability to design and evolve complex systems, with deep knowledge of software architecture, system design, cloud‑native patterns, and engineering standard methodologies.
Strong experience delivering, operating and scaling software at Product Group level and above, including building, leading and hiring senior engineering teams.
Advanced DevOps, testing and reliability engineering expertise, embracing CI/CD, automation, observability, and a “you build it, you run it” ownership model.
Experience working closely with Product and Data Science teams, translating ambiguous requirements into robust technical solutions within customer‑centric environments.
Technically credible people leader and servant leader, able to line manage and influence senior engineers and engineering managers, drive technical outcomes, and communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
What’s In It For You
20% colleague discount on all M&S products and many third‑party brands for you and someone in your household, available once you’ve completed your probation.
Competitive holiday allowance with the option to buy more.
