You will collaborate with operations, automation, procurement, and finance stakeholders to deliver innovative solutions on the Infios's Warehouse Advantage (Körber/Highjump) WMS platform, balancing priorities and resource demand. This location-flexible position requires flexibility with work hour scheduling due to globally dispersed teams and solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Provide technical direction, development oversight, and performance accountability for HelloFresh's deployment of Infios's Warehouse Advantage (Körber/Highjump) WMS platform across all global locations.
  • Own WMS layer Integrations to host systems and CDC pipelines (Debezium/kafka) to Snowflake/Databricks.
  • Partner/ support as needed the Hosting Architecture team in the optimal sizing and performance of WMS Architecture in AWS.
  • Champion and drive adoption of agentic engineering practices across the team, including automated code review tooling, AI-augmented test generation and execution, and intelligent deployment pipelines.
  • Own the maturity roadmap for CI/CD pipelines, establishing automated deployment workflows with robust rollback strategies, feature flagging, environment-specific gate checks, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
  • Partner with WMS Services and Support leadership to build a world-class QA function, driving adoption of automated regression suites, AI-assisted edge case generation, and contract testing for integrations.
  • Establish DORA metrics as the foundation of engineering health reporting for the WMS organization, setting baselines, publishing improvement targets, and using metric trends to identify bottlenecks and prioritize investments.
  • Partner with peers and senior leadership on architectural decision-making for WMS platform evolution, integration patterns, and technology transitions, championing structured design reviews.
  • Work with department leadership to source and partner with 3rd-party vendors to augment internal engineering capacity and expertise, maintaining vendor performance accountability.
  • Coach, develop, and retain high-performing engineers, product managers, and team leads, playing an active role in recruiting, onboarding, and career development.
  • Own the long term roadmap for product consolidation to a single application release version administered globally.
  • Serve on both the Fulfillment Technology and overall Automation & Technology leadership teams, reinforcing HelloFresh DNA values, establishing KPIs, and prioritizing strategic initiatives.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of warehouse management system (WMS) software engineering and implementation experience with a tier-one WMS in an RF-based distribution, manufacturing, or e-commerce fulfillment environment.
  • 3+ years of direct hands-on experience with Infios's Warehouse Advantage (Körber/Highjump) WMS platform with SQL Server.
  • 3+ years managing application integrations via microservices and associated toolsets, including REST APIs, event-driven architectures, and ETL pipelines.
  • Demonstrated experience implementing or scaling CI/CD pipelines, including automated testing gates, deployment automation, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices across multi-environment WMS or fulfillment technology stacks.
  • Hands-on familiarity with agentic and AI-assisted engineering tools — including automated code review platforms, AI-assisted test generation, and LLM-powered developer productivity tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, CodeRabbit, SonarQube AI, or equivalent) — with a track record of driving meaningful team-wide adoption and measurable impact.
  • Experience defining and tracking engineering delivery and quality metrics (DORA metrics or equivalent) and using data to drive process improvement and leadership reporting.
  • Experience leading evaluations to refactor or replace legacy systems, including developing and executing technology transition plans with appropriate risk mitigation strategies.
  • Experience leading a design and product process that scales a digital technology operations ecosystem across volume growth, multiple brands, and new digital properties.
  • Strategic thinker with the ability to build and execute innovative digital product strategy while executing tactically against multiple competing priorities simultaneously.
  • Proven ability to translate business requirements into technical specifications, roadmaps, and delivery plans — and to communicate progress and tradeoffs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated ability to build leadership support for proactive technology investments, making the business case for engineering quality, automation, and platform modernization.
