devops engineer infrastructure platform

Deliveroo connects consumers, restaurants, shops, and riders, making access to food and products more convenient by bringing the neighbourhood to the door.

• Take ownership of complex infrastructure initiatives end-to-end across Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, networking, and Infrastructure-as-Code frameworks, making technical decisions within scope;
• Break initiatives into executable work, identify dependencies, provide estimates, and document technical decisions and infrastructure interactions;
• Design, deploy, and operate secure, scalable systems in AWS;
• Plan and drive technical improvements to the compute and cloud platform using data and success metrics;
• Build and own self-service tooling, automation, and Infrastructure-as-Code frameworks for safe and consistent infrastructure provisioning;
• Unblock teams through code and design reviews, answer questions, and share knowledge through guides, playbooks, and internal tech talks;
• Serve as a first responder during on-call rotations, lead root cause analysis, and drive incident mitigation and follow-through;
• Drive reliability, operational readiness, and developer experience objectives for the Infrastructure platform;
• Support other engineers through feedback, recognition, interviewing, and recruiting activities;
• Partner with platform teams across Wolt, Deliveroo, and DoorDash on shared standards, tooling, and the joint infrastructure roadmap.

• Own complex technical initiatives end-to-end and contribute to architecture-level decisions with an understanding of their long-term consequences;
• Have deep hands-on production expertise with Kubernetes and container orchestration, including cluster scaling, upgrades, and multi-tenancy;
• Have strong experience with cloud platforms, preferably AWS, including networking, IAM, account structuring, and cost management;
• Be proficient in Infrastructure-as-Code, preferably Terraform, and build provisioning or automation frameworks used by other engineers;
• Have solid software engineering skills in Go, Python, or similar for internal tooling and automation;
• Understand Kafka, gRPC, Postgres / MongoDB, Redis, and CI / CD such as GitHub Actions, and weigh their trade-offs;
• Understand SRE principles, including incident response, fault-tolerant architecture, and capacity planning;
• Have experience unblocking and mentoring engineers through code reviews, design reviews, knowledge sharing, or best practices;
• Have excellent collaboration and communication skills for working with multiple engineering teams at global scale;
• Nice to have: GitOps tooling such as Argo CD or Flux, progressive delivery, service mesh technologies, multi-cluster or multi-region Kubernetes at scale, GCP compute and networking, cloud cost optimization or FinOps, multi-organization infrastructure unification, open-source infrastructure or platform engineering contributions, especially in the CNCF ecosystem.

• Benefits include healthcare, well-being support, parental leave, pensions, and generous annual leave, including time off for a charitable cause;
• Benefits are country-specific.
