Job description

Ready for a challenge?

Then Just Eat Takeaway.com might be the place for you. We’re a leading global online food delivery platform, and our vision is to empower everyday convenience.

Whether it’s a Friday-night feast, a post-gym poke bowl, or grabbing some groceries, our tech platform connects tens of millions of customers with hundreds of thousands of restaurant, grocery and convenience partners across the globe.

About this role

Just Eat Takeaway.com is expanding its delivery services, offering customers not only food from their favourite restaurants but also everyday groceries from local supermarkets and convenience stores.

With rapid growth in grocery delivery, this is a key opportunity for Just Eat Takeaway.com to disrupt the market.

Our product development teams are growing because we have a huge number of ideas of how to improve the experience customers and restaurants have. As a Senior Engineer you will need to play a key role in turning those ideas into reality.

These are some of the key ingredients to the role:

• Collaborate extensively with product managers, designers, and other engineers to refine ideas and deliver innovative solutions across various team boundaries.

• Actively participate in architectural discussions and decisions, contributing to the technical vision and roadmap for new initiatives.

• Lead the technical exploration and prototyping of new features and technologies, transforming ambiguous concepts into tangible software.

• Drive the integration of new features and services across different components and systems owned by multiple engineering teams.

• Move the needle from zero to one on a wide range of product feature concepts and experiments.

• Effectively communicate technical concepts and progress to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, adapting to varying levels of understanding.

• Build and maintain a strong network outside of your immediate team and across the organisation.

What will you bring to the table?

• Demonstrable experience in designing, building, and operating scalable, distributed backend systems.

• Ability to clearly communicate with other engineering teams, influence the decision making process and reach consensus on the path to achieve results.

• Good technical writing skills to clearly portray the team's ideas and designs with colleagues.

• Proficiency in one or more of the backend programming languages in use by our organisation (C#, .NET Core, Java) and a strong understanding of software architecture patterns.

• A proactive and adaptable mindset, with a passion for learning new technologies and a drive to explore innovative solutions.

• Experience with cloud platforms (e.g. Amazon AWS).
