The Data & Science Org
At Deliveroo we have an outstanding data science organisation, with a mission to enable the highest quality human and machine decision-making. We work throughout the company - in product, business and platform teams - using analysis, experimentation, causal inference and machine learning techniques. We are uniquely placed to use data to help make better decisions and improve data literacy across Deliveroo.
Data Scientists at Deliveroo report into our data science management team, and we have a highly active data science community, with guest lecturers, study groups, mentorship programmes, a robust technical review process, and plenty of opportunities to learn new things. Data Scientists can equally progress as technical leads (individual contributors) and as people managers.
As a data scientist at Deliveroo, your main goal is to maximise business impact within one of many business areas. You will help answer questions like:
* Which markets/cities should we enter next?
* How can we incentivise good rider behaviour?
* What is the impact of exclusive deals we have with restaurants?
* How do we optimise our compensation policy to keep our customers happy and ordering with Deliveroo?
* What are the trade-offs we face when choosing between growth and profitability? How should we decide between them?
* How much should our pricing vary by distance and by market?
* What is the optimum selection and variety of restaurants in a particular area?
* How do we adapt our consumer app to better suit grocery shoppers?
The work you will do will have a direct, measurable impact on the bottom line of the company.
Requirements
* A solid grounding in SQL (and preferably Python)
* Experience conducting A/B experiments
* Great communication skills - in person, in writing, in code; to technical and non-technical audiences
* A problem solver with a deep analytical mindset
* Ability to think creatively and insightfully about business problems
* A critical thinker with very strong attention to detail
* A pragmatic, flexible approach, where you most care about achieving impact
* Excellent people skills — you'll be meeting with stakeholders to translate business needs into data science problems
We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of our hiring process. We recognise that some candidates may require adjustments to apply for a position or fairly participate in the interview process. If you require any adjustments, please don't hesitate to let us know. We will make every effort to provide the necessary adjustments to ensure you have an equitable opportunity to succeed.
