Why Deliveroo?


Deliveroo’s mission is to transform the way you shop and eat, bringing the neighbourhood to your door by connecting consumers, restaurants, shops and riders. We obsess about building the future of food, whilst using our network as a force for good. We're at the forefront of an industry, powered by our market-leading technology and unrivalled network to bring incredible convenience and selection to our customers.

Working at Deliveroo is the perfect environment to build an engineering career, driven by impact. Firstly, the impact that working here will have on your development, allowing you to grow faster than you might elsewhere; secondly, the impact that you can have on Deliveroo, leaving your mark as we scale; and finally, being part of something bigger, through the impact that we make together in our marketplace and communities.

 

What you’ll be doing

As a Staff Software Engineer at Deliveroo you will be working on iOS apps that are key to the success of our business. You will be leading the technical direction across multiple teams and ensuring that our high standards for technical quality are being met.

Technical Execution:

  • You will work on improving code structure and architecture, reviewing code of any size or scope produced by your team. It will also include work to maximise the efficiency of your team via leading team project planning, foreseeing dependencies and risks, and constructively partnering with other disciplines (e.g. PM, Experience)

  • You'll continuously strive to simplify the maintenance and operation of production systems, championing the visibility, operational readiness, and health of your team’s systems.


Collaboration & Leadership:

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

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

 

Your Experience:

We want to emphasise that we don't expect you to meet all of the below but would love you to have experience in some of these areas.

  • You have raised the bar for technical quality in the teams you have worked in. You can share many examples of thinking beyond just your own personal impact.

  • You have led the technical direction for iOS teams working on applications that are key to the success of your organisation.

  • You have expertise in the core tools and technologies of an iOS engineer, like Swift, XCode and UIKit.

  • You have been a valued partner and collaborator for UX and product in cross-functional teams.

  • You have worked on iOS applications that are used by people outside your organisation. Your apps are observable and measurable.

  • You mentor and encourage more junior talent in your organisation. You understand that nurturing the next generation of talent grows the capability of your team.

 

Workplace & Diversity

At Deliveroo we know that people are the heart of the business and we prioritise their welfare. We offer a wide range of 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 incredibly exciting space.
