About the role We know life looks a little different for each of us.
That's why at Tesco, we always welcome chats about flexible working.
Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love.
Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else.
So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.
Price Service is a HTTP API handling pricing and promotions across all of Tesco's channels and is of central importance to Tesco's strategic plans to better serve 28 million shoppers each week in the UK, and more around the globe.
