Want to be a part of the team responsible for targeted, personalised, global delivery of content here at ASOS?
Were obsessed with delivering great customer experiences and our content is integral to that.
As a Software Engineer in the Content Platform Team, youll be using cutting edge technology to deliver content globally and at a huge scale.
We are using the one of the latest versions of Sitecore CMS (v10) and working directly with the Sitecore Product Teams to push the product to its limits and beyond. We work extensively with Sitecore to deliver a world class implementation.
Operating in an organisation that follows a Micro-Services architecture, means that the Content Platform Team not only deliver CMS solutions, but also APIs and services built on Azure Kubernetes Service to distribute and scale the solutions. Everything is delivered on Azure and we have a clear strategic vision to evolve our platform in Azure in line with Microsofts technology roadmap. We use automated deployment pipelines, exploring the limitations of all our tech and following the highest engineering and DevOps principles.
You would be part of a team, who own, build and run the entire platform. This is a team where the culture drives delivery not the other way round. We are focused on people development (both technical and personal); on doing the right thing; and on having fun whilst doing it. We work in mature, well-disciplined, self-organising scrum teams; and youll be part of an awesome Engineering community, who are passionate about personal development, skills development, coaching, training and knowledge sharing.
If you are a driven Software Engineer that wants to work with the best tech, on innovative customer experiences, in an amazing team, with great potential for personal growth and development, then we would really like to hear from you.
Here are some of the things we offer
An environment where learning, training, ongoing personal development and knowledge sharing is embedded in and underpins everything we do (Ask us about Tech Develops!)
Long term career planning, code craftsmanship courses, mentoring, masses of training material and internal and external courses
A highly experienced and collaborative engineering community and well-established career paths
A place in a team which works directly with both Sitecore and Microsoft on high scale, exciting projects and solutions for our global customer base

Tech @ ASOS
I love working at ASOS in my team because of the great atmosphere. From day one I already felt like being part of the team, everyone is so friendly, approachable and willing to help. It’s the place where you feel trusted and are given the opportunities & time to explore your full potential. As someone who just relocated to London, I also appreciate the international and cultural diverse environment – it’s ok to be whoever you want to be!
As a software engineer with a love for fashion, I feel extremely lucky to be part of a fashion company that priorities technology, innovation and customer experience to the same degree as their clothing.
As someone who left ASOS after 7 years but came back, it speaks volumes how much I love working at ASOS. The obvious reason is the people, not just in Tech but beyond. There's an unspoken respect and authenticity between everyone who works here

We are Customer First
We couldn’t be ASOS without our customers.
Across every behaviour, value, and all that we do, we see everything through our customers’ eyes. That means never taking anything for granted and always zeroing in on every single detail. So we can always bring our best as a team, and our customers can have an amazing experience, every time.
We are Authentic
We work together to be honest, transparent, and our full authentic selves.
This is our ASOS. Our culture, built on collaboration and togetherness, and supported by what’s real and honest. We know that we win bigger when we win as a diverse team. That means celebrating our differences and using them to help us stand out from the crowd, without losing our authenticity and individuality.
We are Brave
We challenge each other to aim high and reach our potential.
Doing nothing gets us nowhere. We may be proud of everything we’ve done so far, but there’s still so much more to explore. We believe we can always be wiser, faster, stronger, bigger, braver, kinder…so asking ‘why’ isn’t just a question, it’s a necessity. We use our voice to drive us forward, speaking up on the things our people and customers care about and using our curiosity to create possibility.
We are Creative
We know innovation leads to inspiration – it’s what makes us stronger
Change is in our DNA. By acting fast and staying one step ahead of the curve, we can be a leader, not a follower. But for our products and platform to be innovative, they have to be fuelled by creative passion and a deep understanding of our customers and our people.
We always Deliver
We couldn’t be excellent without evidence – so whatever we’re doing, we have proof of why we’re doing it.
It takes facts and data to tell our stories and help us make our decisions in the most effective way possible. This means we can do what we say and own what we do, no matter how long it takes us to do it. We aren’t about nonsense ifs, buts and maybes, we’re about creating an ASOS that’s built for future success on delivered success.
