Who we are!

We are Just Eat for Business. We make it easy for your teams to order great food for any occasion at home or in the office. So, what's the Just Eat Takeaway group vision we hear you ask? Empowering your every food moment (through good food, however far apart)! Now more than ever, we need a team of diverse, passionate and hungry individuals to drive our group vision forward, one meal at a time. We need people like YOU, to be a part of our food revolution!
As part of the Just Eat Takeaway group, one of the world's largest food delivery groups, we deliver thousands of meals every day across the UK to some of the world's most iconic brands – Peloton, Bumble and Zoom, to name a few. We work with a world of kitchens, over 600 of the best boutique chefs, street vendors, specialist caterers, iconic restaurants and supper clubs in the UK.

About the role
The Tech department design, builds and maintains all of the infrastructure and applications responsible for choosing and delivering 10,000+ meals every day. As a member of the Engineering function within Tech, you'll be playing a key role in the design, implementation and maintenance of high-quality, robust solutions for our customer needs.
We work in cross-functional teams (Corporate, Eater and Restaurant) that understand their customer needs in-depth, each with a unique set of upcoming projects. The Corporate team is looking to simplify ordering and invoicing for Enterprise-scale customers, the Eaters team finding better ways of increasing engagement with the end consumers, and the Restaurants team is looking at integrations and kitchen-based solutions that can support nationally known brands. As an acquired startup with big growth plans, we're re-evaluating our previous choices and setting ourselves up for being able to deliver high quality, highly available systems as we scale.
To achieve all this, you'll need to be a high impact, self-motivated person who can work across a range of technologies and know your customer segment well. You'll work closely with a Team Lead to help support your personal growth, with access to training and events throughout the year as well as take part in our biannual hackathons and regular share & learn team events.
