STAFF SOFTWARE ENGINEER
London
Hybrid
Description
Hybrid requirements: This role has flexible working patterns.
As a Staff Software Engineer at Deliveroo, your individual work contributes to achieving group-level goals and metrics. Occasionally you will lead work outside of the direct remit of your team benefitting other teams. You will report to managers and groups leads and together deliver the results.
Expectations:
Technical Execution:
You will be considered an expert in at least one relevant technical area, sought out for reviews and advice by multiple teams and colleagues.
Your work will also include forecasting and managing project timelines and risks, and setting a sustainable and incremental team pace.
It means that you will define the technical solutions for important business problems and understand the context in which large company decisions are made.
Collaboration & Leadership:
A part of the Staff Engineer’s scope is aligning non-adjacent teams and disciplines to resolve unstructured and ambiguous challenges. This extends to coaching other folks across all levels and supporting up-and-coming leaders in the team.
You will lead the technical direction of their team, and influence the strategic direction and build non-adjacent team relationships.
Staff Engineers are calibrated to lead all types of engineering interviews, to help guide the understanding of the Deliveroo bar for all lower levels which often requires contribution in other recruiting areas outside of interviewing.
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.
Pride in readable, well-designed, well-tested software
Experience writing web-based applications in any language, and an interest in learning (Go, Ruby/Rails, Python, Scala, or Rust)
Familiarity and practical experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
Familiarity and practical experience with web architecture at scale (20krpm and above)
Familiarity and practical experience with “NoSQL” data backends and key-value stores (Redis, DynamoDB, ElasticSearch, Memcache)
Familiarity and practical experience solving logistical problems with software
Workplace & Diversity
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.
