The Role

The Data Services team builds (and maintains) services, tools and infrastructure for the Data Platform, used by the Engineering Organization at Deliveroo. We are involved in the production readiness of inter-service communication infrastructure as well as for data pipelines in support of machine learning, analytics and data-intensive applications. We set the overall engineering strategy for the integrity, reliability and timeliness of critical business data from the point where it’s generated through to multiple, varied business use cases. People in our team use software and systems engineering skills to design and debug complex distributed systems. You could be a good fit to join us if you are comfortable working with unfamiliar codebases, including internal, open source and 3rd party code we depend on. Our Skills We need skilled software engineers who enjoy solving infrastructure and data problems with code. We don't expect you to meet all of the below but would love you to have experience in some of these areas.• Pride in readable, well-designed, well-tested software• Experience with various data technologies, in particular analytics, aggregation, search and streaming technologies such as Spark, Elastic Search and MPP data warehouses, Flink, Kafka and Kafka Streams.• Experience with operating systems, configuration management and "Infrastructure as Code". (We use AMIs, Docker Images, Terraform and Kubernetes).• Experience with monitoring Web applications (We use Datadog, Sentry).• Our core applications involve use of Scala, so we’re looking for engineers with experience in JVM programming languages in production environments (Java or Kotlin would also be appropriate), and use of relevant frameworks (Akka, FS2).• Experience in data engineering type roles that involve partnering with others in the product/application space to ensure that data is treated like a 1st class citizen from the outset of product development.• Professional experience writing infrastructure services and applications in any language, and a willingness to quickly get up to speed on the wider Deliveroo engineering stack (Ruby/Rails, Go and, Python).• Experience with VMs, containers and serverless compute platforms. (We use AWS for compute, e.g. EC2, ECS and Lambda).• Ability to work with unfamiliar codebases, including internal, open source and 3rd party code we depend on.Life at DeliverooWe are a growing team, with a very large impact, seeking to solve some of the most interesting challenges out there. We move fast, we’re always looking for new ideas and the entire company is very transparent about the decisions we make and why we make them.There are so many questions we need to answer and plenty more we haven’t even encountered. How do data and technology help restaurants to grow as consumer habits change? How can we predict what someone wants to order for dinner long before the idea has even crossed their mind? At Deliveroo these are just some of the tough problems we are solving - and there is no challenge that cannot be yours to work on. No solution is owned by a particular team, which means the scope for growth and personal impact is enormous.
