It's
our job to understand and serve the Just Eat customer. Who are the
people that come to Just Eat to buy their meals online? What do they
need? What can we do to make their experiences better? Our Technology
department is revolutionising the way people interact with food online
every day by exploring new channels, such as voice-controlled ordering
and virtual reality. Our team also collaborates with other internal
departments to make sure our products and tech are tailor made from top
insights and industry expertise.
The opportunity
On
an average day we expect to handle at least 17 million API requests
from both public and internal consumers. Our growth rate has had a huge
effect on our technical direction creating an interesting set of
challenges for us, and as a consequence we are now one of the biggest
users of Amazon Web Services in the Europe. Behind the simple facade of
our consumer facing products sit a wealth of APIs, search algorithms and
B2B services that we are continuously evolving.
Responsibilities
We
don’t divide responsibility for development and operation of our
platform, so you and your team will support the changes you make all the
way through to operating successfully in production at peak times.
Our
product development teams are growing because we have a huge number of
ideas of how to improve the experience customers and restaurants have.
As a Principal Engineer you will need to play a key role in turning
those ideas into reality. Your key areas of focus:
Trusted authority and specialist - The
Principal will be a trusted authority and specialist in one or more
technology areas of critical importance to JUST EAT. They will be
someone that members and managers of other teams turn to for advice and
guidance.
COG leadership - The Principal
will act as the leader of one or more Coherence and Ownership Groups
(COGs) to provide a strategy and roadmap, which works in cooperation
with functional teams to deliver on current and future objectives.
Continuous improvement -
The Principal will ensure that their discipline continuously improves
by initiating new processes and practices. They will then use their
influence, and the respect others hold them in, to have them implemented
more widely across teams.
Consultancy - The
Principal will provide consultancy to any of the Technology teams where
required. As part of this they may be called upon during acquisitions,
partnerships and divestments, to participate in due diligence activities
relating to their discipline.
Recruitment -
The Principal will participate in the recruitment within their
discipline, including sitting on panels and setting and reviewing tests.
Coaching and mentoring
- The Principal will provide coaching and mentoring to other
professionals within their discipline. They will also shape and deliver
elements of the induction for new practitioners in their discipline as
they join the company.
Innovation - The
Principal will identify innovation opportunities related to their
discipline and will promote these to the Directors, Heads and Managers
of Technology.
Communicate - The Principal will evangelise the work of their team to other teams and potentially publically (blogs / speaking etc). The Principal communicates across many levels of the company, and also externally, in a clear, concise manner.
Professional Development - The
Principal actively looks for opportunities to develop their skills and
knowledge using internal and external sources. The Principal keeps up
to date with latest industry blogs. The Principal is an active and
driving member of the specific Coherence and Ownership Groups (COGs) and
may be the COG lead.
