Join AH Technology: Reinventing Food Retail every day. Improving the online shopping experience on AH.nl and the AH app with innovations for millions of users daily.

Hi, we’re AH Technology, food retail reinventors.  
Albert Heijn goes way back. More than 130 years, to be exact. So for millions, food shopping is synonymous with the Albert Heijn brand. We didn’t achieve this with a complacent, ‘hey, if it works today, it’ll work tomorrow’ approach but by continually rethinking our propositions and staying plugged into customer demands. 

Over 1,200 stores? Check. 
The leading online food retail platform? Check. 
We build, run and love it. ;-) 
 
So what’s next? Accelerating our transition into a hybrid Food & Tech company is. We want to leverage data and technology to future-proof food shopping and make better food more easily accessible to everyone. At AH Technology, you collaborate 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 simplify (online) shopping and make it more inspiring. Are you ready to reinvent how millions buy and enjoy their food? We invest heavily in data, digital, and tech. And that includes investing in your career!
