Role
Who you are
- Dedication to Data Engineering such as Google Vertex AI pipelines, Airflow/DBT
- Proficiency in Python for engineering applications
- Experience with setting up, deploying, and managing cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
- Strong application of engineering best practices across the product development lifecycle, including automated testing, CI/CD, and code reviews
- Comfortable working with various technologies across the software and data engineering stack, including Airflow, Vertex AI, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Google Cloudbuild, Prometheus, and Grafana
- Solid experience in cloud data storage, with particular expertise in Google BigQuery (GBQ), GCS/S3
- Demonstrable ability to produce high-quality engineering solutions free of technical debt, with a passion for maintaining high standards
- An excellent team player, capable of working collaboratively, communicating clearly, and providing/receiving feedback
- Ability to confidently write elegant, consistent, and maintainable source code with minimal supervision
- A working understanding of experimentation methodologies, such as the statistical evaluation of A/B tests
- A caring attitude towards the personal and professional development of the wider team, nurturing a collaborative and dynamic culture
What the job involves
- The Experimentation Platform team is dedicated to supporting the business by operating JET's internal feature management and experimentation platform, JetFM
- This involves processing vast amounts of experiment data, and thoroughly analysing and interpreting the results
- Your primary goal in this role is to help scale the use and scope of this state-of-the-art experimentation platform, expanding experimentation throughout the organisation
- Automation and making experimentation fully self-served are the key objectives, addressing the current complexity and learning curve for users and driving greater volume of experiments
- What would that look like in your day-to-day work
- A big part of the role is developing complex data pipelines in Python operating on massive amounts of data in Big Query
- But the work asks for a a more versatile engineering skillset, not limited to traditional data engineering: evolving backend APIs, productionising statistical methodologies at scale, integration with other platforms or building data tools as required
- You will collaborate closely with other engineers, data scientists, and analysts as part of a broader engineering community
- Design, develop, and maintain reliable and scalable data engineering solutions within Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
- Work collaboratively, prioritising teamwork and stakeholder value to achieve collective goals
- Advocate for building future-proof solutions for long-term impact
- Spread engineering skills and best practices within the team and wider engineering community
- Work cross-functionally with other Platform Engineering teams to resolve issues and standardise practices
- Continuously improve & maintain robust infrastructure, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) processes, and monitoring solutions for the experimentation platform
- Integrate the experimentation platform with new data sources and develop data flows for processing and transforming data
- Develop the experimentation platform with efficient reporting solutions and cloud APIs to deliver experiment results to stakeholders
- Engineer a metrics library solution in the data warehouse to enable stakeholders to self-serve experimentation metrics, addressing the current month-and-a-half build time for metrics
- Collaborate with data scientists to implement new methodological improvements to the statistical experimentation engine in a scalable and future-proof manner
Our take
Just Eat Takeaway, born from the merger of Just Eat and the Dutch-born Takeaway.com, stands as a formidable force in the realm of food delivery. Surpassing expectations, this union has made way for the world's largest online food delivery entity outside of China. Bolstering its stature further, the company made a significant move in 2021 by venturing into the US market through the acquisition of Grubhub, solidifying its position as a major player in the industry.
However, amidst its successes, Just Eat Takeaway faces competition from competitors like Uber Eats and Deliveroo. While it dominates the UK market, its global revenue pales in comparison its its rivals, such as Delivery Hero and DoorDash. Nonetheless, the company's established stronghold in one of the world's largest food delivery markets offers a degree of stability amid the fluctuating demands of customers witnessed in recent years.
To stay in the game, Just Eat Takeaway has grown to operate across 17 countries and 356,000 partners, via acquisitions and organic growth. It's also entered the grocery and retail delivery market alongside its primary restaurant delivery service. Though one of the last to venture into the grocery delivery sector, it has secured a partnership with the Co-Op, indicating a proactive approach to the market. Furthermore, the company continues to carve out its niche by offering exclusive services, such as being the sole courier for Domino's Pizza in the UK and Ireland, adding unique value to its offerings.
