Job Overview

The Go Engineering role plays a critical part in connecting partners with the Just Eat Takeaway platform.

We are looking for engineers to take our integration platform to the next level while maintaining core functionality on which thousands of our partners depend.

As an engineer in the JET Connect team, you won't just be writing code; you'll be building the high‑volume POS and menu integrations that keep global brands like Mc Donald’s, KFC, and Domino’s running smoothly across 10+ countries.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and scale in Go: develop and maintain robust, high‑throughput microservices and features in Go.
  • Work proactively in Kanban: thrive in a continuous delivery environment. Participate in refinements and actively pick up work rather than waiting for it to be handed down.
  • Champion system health: take a proactive stance on reliability.

Participate in our weekly signal channel reviews to identify, investigate, and resolve production anomalies before they become major issues.

  • Contribute to system design: help implement scalable solutions and contribute to technical discussions, working alongside senior engineers as they shape the wider architecture.
  • Collaborate across teams: support product and delivery teams to ensure our integrations roll out smoothly across international markets.

What Will You Bring to the Table?

We aren’t looking for someone who knows absolutely everything about system architecture from day one; that’s what our senior engineers are here to help with.

But we are looking for a proactive problem solver with a solid foundation.

  • Desired Experience
  • Solid Go experience: a few years of commercial experience writing clean, efficient, and testable code in Go.
  • Proactive mindset: you don’t just wait for the next ticket; you actively look for ways to improve the codebase, fix bugs, and streamline processes.
  • Event‑Driven know‑how: a good understanding of microservices and event‑driven design (e. g., you grasp the complexities of eventual consistency and distributed systems).
  • SRE mindset: you care deeply about what happens after your code goes live, with a strong focus on maintaining and improving production services.
  • Great communication: you are comfortable “working out loud” and can confidently explain technical concepts to non‑technical folks.
  • Quality first: experience with Test‑Driven Development (TDD) and an openness to pair programming when tackling complex problems.
  • AI‑Assisted

Development: you are comfortable using AI coding assistants and LLMs to accelerate your daily workflow, from scaffolding code and writing tests to debugging complex issues.

  • AWS Cloud Services: hands‑on experience with specific Amazon Web Services, including Dynamo DB, SNS, SQS, and S3.
  • Bonus points: previous experience working in an international company or dealing with high‑volume transactional systems (like POS or e‑commerce).

Experience with Kafka is also a strong plus.

Culture & Opportunities

Our teams forge connections internally and work with some of the best‑known brands on the planet, giving us truly international impact in a dynamic environment.

Fun, fast‑paced and supportive, the JET culture is about movement, growth and celebrating every aspect of our JETers.
