This role sits within Deliveroo\u00e2\u0080\u0099s engineering organisation in London and is aimed at a senior full-stack engineer who can help shape the technical direction of important systems at significant scale. The team works on a global, three-sided marketplace that serves customers, riders, and partners every day, and the engineering function is responsible for building and operating technology that supports real-time logistics, resilient infrastructure, and marketplace optimisation. The work is described as high impact, fast moving, and technically demanding, with a strong emphasis on ownership, collaboration, and solving meaningful problems that affect the wider business.<\/p>\n

The position is based in London at The River Building HQ and follows a hybrid working pattern, with three days per week in the office. The company describes the environment as one where engineers are expected to take on complex, ambiguous challenges, work across team boundaries, and help deliver solutions that move the organisation forward.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Act as a senior technical expert within a high-impact engineering group, helping the organisation tackle unclear and difficult problems that do not sit neatly within one team.<\/li>\n
  • Review designs and code at a high level, and provide technical guidance and advice across multiple teams.<\/li>\n
  • Design and define scalable solutions for complex business problems in a very high-traffic environment, including systems that handle more than 20,000 requests per minute.<\/li>\n
  • Help steer the long-term technical roadmap and contribute to decisions about architecture and platform direction.<\/li>\n
  • Manage delivery in a sustainable way by thinking through timelines, risks, and the pace at which projects should be executed.<\/li>\n
  • Coach and mentor engineers across different levels, while also supporting emerging leaders as the engineering organisation grows.<\/li>\n
  • Take part in engineering interviews and contribute to hiring strategy so the company can continue to attract and select strong technical talent.<\/li>\n
  • Work closely with non-adjacent teams and align different disciplines around shared technical outcomes that benefit the wider organisation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What the company is looking for<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Extensive experience building web applications using a modern stack, with the flexibility and curiosity to work across technologies such as Go, Ruby, Python, and Scala.<\/li>\n
    • Proven experience designing and operating web architecture at scale, especially in systems that process substantial request volumes.<\/li>\n
    • Practical ownership of relational databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL, together with experience using non-relational technologies such as Redis, DynamoDB, or Elasticsearch.<\/li>\n
    • Strong background in high-scale architecture, including the ability to design and run systems that support very large traffic levels and complicated logistics-style workflows.<\/li>\n
    • Clear strategic leadership skills, including the ability to bring together multiple teams and disciplines to solve ambiguous technical challenges.<\/li>\n
    • Experience acting as a technical authority who can influence decisions beyond a single team and help set direction across the engineering organisation.<\/li>\n
    • Comfort working in a high-ownership environment where the problems are complex, the pace is fast, and the expectations for quality are high.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
