The Data + Science Team At Deliveroo we have a world-class data & science organisation, with a mission to enable the highest quality human and machine decision-making. We have over 200 Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, Data Analysts, and Analytics Engineers working throughout the company in product, business and platform teams.

We have a strong, active data science community, with guest lecturers; a robust technical review process; a career progression framework; and plenty of opportunities to learn new things. The Role We are hiring several MLE positions in different teams across all sides of our marketplace (consumer, delivery, restaurants, grocery, and retail). Our interview process is team-agnostic. As an MLE, you will develop the algorithmic and machine-learning systems that power Deliveroo. You will work in a cross-functional team alongside engineers, data scientists and product managers to develop systems that make automated decisions at massive scale. Your team has independence and works at some of the most interesting problems at the intersection of our three-sided marketplace (riders, consumers, and restaurants). We evaluate the performance of all our decision-making machines through our world-class experimentation platform. Depending on the team you join, you will build intelligent decision-making machines that may:

  • Optimise our delivery network by making rider assignment decisions; predicting how long a leg of the delivery journey will take; or mitigating real-time delays.
  • Work out how many riders we need in a particular place at a particular time.
  • Optimise consumer and rider fees.
  • Improve the consumer experience by showing the most relevant restaurants and dishes.
  • Detect fraud and abuse from consumers, riders, and restaurants.
  • Assist restaurants in optimising their presence on Deliveroo, for example by recommending that they improve their menus or photography, or add a popular dish.

Requirements

  • 3+ years' experience as a ML Engineer or Data Scientist
  • 3+ years' experience in Python
  • Experience productionising ML models
  • Experience using tools like Git, Docker, Kubernetes, CircleCI
  • You know the fundamentals of machine learning and when they should be applied
  • You can translate an unstructured business problem into a well-thought-out algorithmic solution
  • You get satisfaction from seeing your algorithms shipped and driving measurable impact to the business
  • You have a bias to simplicity, where you care most about achieving impact

The Company Our mission is to be the definitive food company. We are transforming the way the world eats by making food more convenient and accessible. We are a technology-driven company at the forefront of the most rapidly expanding industry in the world. We are still a small team, making a very large impact, looking to answer some of the most interesting questions out there. We move fast, value autonomy and ownership, and we are always looking for new ideas. Workplace & Benefits At Deliveroo we know that people are the heart of the business and we prioritise their welfare. Benefits differ by country, but we offer many benefits in areas including healthcare, well-being, parental leave, pensions, and generous annual leave allowances, including time off to support a charitable cause of your choice. Benefits are country-specific, please ask your recruiter for more information. Diversity At Deliveroo, 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 businesses in a rapidly growing industry. We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of our hiring process. We recognise that some candidates may require adjustments to apply for a position or fairly participate in the interview process. If you require any adjustments, please don't hesitate to let us know. We will make every effort to provide the necessary adjustments to ensure you have an equitable opportunity to succeed
