As one of the world’s largest retailers and the largest private employer in the United Kingdom, Tesco serves millions of customers a week in our stores and online.

In Europe we operate in Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, offering great value to our customers every day. Our Operations in Hungary have been serving shoppers since 1995.

To standardize processes, reduce the cost to serve, enable agility in the business and empower colleagues to do even more for our customers, we have set up a dedicated team called Tesco Business Services across our markets. In 2004 we established our first centre in Bengaluru, India. 

The Budapest centre provides dedicated support for colleagues and customers in the Hungary, Poland and Slovakia markets. Our Technology Hub arrived in Budapest in 2019. Since then, we’ve built a team of around 130 software engineers and managers.

Based in our Vaci út office this multi-functional and specialist team will drive operational excellence of services, improve scale for our systems and processes globally and create business-leading capabilities.

We are currently expanding our Technology department resulting in launching a new Technology Hub in our modern office in Budapest, Hungary- which is easily accessible by metro.

As we are starting from scratch, you can be part of our new IT recruitment team, experience a mix of well-established corporate companies and tech start-up, having real impact on the recruitment processes and contribute to the success of the company.

We need people who share our ambition to deliver for our stakeholders and customers, passionate and confident people who are willing to take the initiative and drive us forward. In return we offer exciting, multinational environment and a great team as well as development opportunities.
