Machine Learning Engineering Manager

About the Role

At Deliveroo, we have an outstanding data science organization with a mission to enable the highest quality human and machine decision-making. We work across product, business, and platform teams using analysis, experimentation, causal inference, and machine learning techniques. We are uniquely positioned to use data to help make better decisions and improve data literacy across Deliveroo.

Machine Learning (ML) Engineers work in cross-functional teams of engineers, data scientists, and product managers to build algorithmic products that power the company. We are embedded in product teams, close to business problems, and tackle some of the hardest challenges. ML Engineers translate fuzzy business problems into concrete pipelines, design and implement them, deploy models to production, and collaborate with data scientists to run experiments.

ML Engineers at Deliveroo report to our Science management team. We have a strong, active data science community with guest lecturers, a robust technical review process, a career progression framework, and many learning opportunities. We offer career pathways for both managers and individual contributors. Our ML Engineers come from diverse disciplines but share a common excellence; many are formally trained in Machine Learning, many are not.

We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineering Manager to join our management team and lead our Search & Relevance team, which optimizes the customer experience through recommendation engines and search & ranking algorithms. The team includes ML Engineers of various seniorities, including mid-level, Senior, and Staff.

Ideal candidates will:

  • Have experience line-managing machine learning engineers and guiding their career development.
  • Have built and deployed machine learning algorithms to production within product teams.
  • Provide technical guidance on the design and implementation of machine learning algorithms.
  • Have experience working with cross-functional teams and managing stakeholders to identify opportunities and build roadmaps.
  • Bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and skill sets to form a cohesive team.
  • Be comfortable working in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment.
  • Adopt a pragmatic, flexible approach focused on achieving impact.
  • [Bonus] Have knowledge and experience with experimentation.

At Deliveroo, we prioritize our people’s welfare. Benefits vary by country but generally include healthcare, well-being programs, parental leave, pensions, and generous annual leave, including time for charitable causes. Please ask your recruiter for specific details.

Diversity

We believe a great workplace reflects the diversity of the world we live in. We welcome candidates regardless of gender, race, sexuality, religion, or personal preferences. All you need is a passion for food and a desire to be part of a fast-growing industry.
