Deliveroo
Date: 2 weeks ago
City: London
Contract type: Full time

Why Deliveroo?
We're building the definitive online food company, transforming the way the world eats by making hyper-local food more convenient and accessible. 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 a definitive career, motivated 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 do?
As a Software Engineer at Deliveroo, your individual work contributes to achieving goals in and across your team. While you will work with your team and you may lead projects, some of your work will contribute outside of your direct remit. You will report to managers and group leads and together deliver the results.
Technical Execution
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.
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.
