Ocado Technology

Company Overview

Powering the future of retail through sustained disruptive technology innovation

Achieving this vision means we need to be constantly reinventing ourselves, learning fast, evolving our craftsmanship, and taking risks.

Working at Ocado Technology is like being on a roller coaster that is still under construction, there is always another exciting new barrel roll or vertical loop around the corner.

What if we could revolutionise the way people shop forever, by giving them a uniquely innovative and greener alternative to traditional grocery shopping?

At the beginning of the year 2000, that what if? became let’s do it!, when Tim Steiner, Jason Gissing and Jonathan Faiman founded Ocado. It’s a huge understatement to say that a lot’s happened since then. Ocado has grown from three people in a single-roomed office in London, into a business with roughly 12,600 employees serving hundreds of thousands of customers across the UK. Ocado Technology makes up roughly 1,300 of those employees, with development offices in the UK and other locations in Europe.

Today, Ocado is the world’s largest online-only grocery retailer, reaching over 70% of British households, shipping over 250,000 orders per week, and growing fast. But that’s not all. We’re also developing the Ocado Smart Platform, an end-to-end solution to put other grocery retailers around the world online.
