You'll aim to simplify the maintenance and operation of production systems, promoting visibility, operational readiness, and health of your team's systems.

Collaboration & Leadership :

As well as leading from the front regarding technical execution, you'll build relationships with other engineering teams and, identify collaboration opportunities.

You'll break down large pieces of work, guide design and technical / implementation choices and influence the roadmap within your team.

You will take an active role in the hiring process and conducting engineering interviews. This will also extend to the current team where you will support the personal growth of colleagues, encouraging efficiency in their roles.

Pride in readable, well-designed, well-tested 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.
