About the Role
The Ocado Smart Platform (OSP) is a modular, scalable software and hardware solution supporting highly automated customer fulfilment warehouses (CFCs) integrated with a fully fledged grocery e-commerce platform. The vision is to provide large bricks and mortar retailers across the globe with an online service using our disruptive technology.
