About

Harrods is a luxury department store founded in 1849, situated in Knightsbridge, London. The iconic retailer operates across seven floors and 1.1 million square feet of retail space, offering products from over 3,000 of the world's most prestigious brands. Its business spans designer fashion, fine jewellery and watches, luxury beauty, and home furnishings.

Technology teams at Harrods support the infrastructure behind one of the world's most recognised luxury retail operations. The scale of the business - serving a global customer base across physical and digital channels - presents engineering challenges in areas such as e-commerce platform management, data analytics, inventory systems, and in-store digital experiences.

The company positions itself as setting the standard for retail excellence, with a commitment to curating collections from established luxury houses and emerging designers alike. Harrods also operates world-class dining venues, including restaurants helmed by award-winning and celebrity chefs.
