Why Deliveroo?
We're building the definitive online food company, transforming the way the world eats by making hyper-local food more convenient and accessible. We obsess about building the future of food, whilst using our network as a force for good.
What you'll do?
As a Staff Software Engineer at Deliveroo, your individual work contributes to achieving group-level goals and metrics. You will report to managers and group leads and together deliver the results.
Technical Execution:
You will be considered an expert in at least one relevant technical area, sought out for reviews and advice by multiple teams and colleagues. Your work will include forecasting and managing project timelines and risks, and setting a sustainable and incremental team pace.
A part of the Staff Engineer's scope is aligning non-adjacent teams and disciplines to resolve unstructured and ambiguous challenges. This extends to coaching others across all levels and supporting up-and-coming leaders in the team.
You will lead the technical direction of your team, and influence the strategic direction and build non-adjacent team relationships.
We want to emphasise that we don't expect you to meet all of the below but would love you to have experience in some of these areas:
1. Pride in readable, well-designed, well-tested software.
2. Experience writing web-based applications in any language, and an interest in learning (Go, Ruby/Rails, Python, Scala, or Rust).
3. Familiarity and practical experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL).
4. Familiarity and practical experience with web architecture at scale (20krpm and above).
5. Familiarity and practical experience with "NoSQL" data backends and key-value stores (Redis, DynamoDB, ElasticSearch, Memcache).
6. Familiarity and practical experience solving logistical problems with software.
Workplace & Diversity
At Deliveroo, we know that people are the heart of the business and we prioritise their welfare. We offer multiple great benefits in areas including health, family, finance, community, convenience, growth, and relocation.
We believe a great workplace is one that represents the world we live in and how beautifully diverse it can be. That means we have no judgement when it comes to any one of the things that make you who you are - your gender, race, sexuality, religion or a secret aversion to coriander. All you need is a passion for (most) food and a desire to be part of one of the fastest-growing startups in an exciting space.
