Whether it’s a Friday-night feast, a post-gym poke bowl, or grabbing some groceries, our tech platform connects tens of millions of customers with hundreds of thousands of restaurant, grocery and convenience partners across the globe.

Just Eat Takeaway.com is looking for a Software Engineer to join the Messaging Integrations team and help build world-class messaging solutions. You'll be working within a team of engineers supporting other engineering teams within Just Eat Takeaway, providing capabilities, tools and support that enables engineering teams to deliver consistently, safely and quickly.

Messaging is the central nervous system of our software and microservices. As the team tasked to enable integrations in this space, we take pride in being innovative, efficient and reliable. Our vision is to make messaging easy, to give our product and engineering teams time back so they can focus on what our customers need. We aim to make an impact on the design and architecture of Just Eats' developer experience and cloud-based messaging and microservice platform.

As a Software Engineer in the messaging integration team, we would expect you to:

• Be passionate about Event-Driven and Microservices Architecture.
• Understand and drive APIs, being them async or sync.
• Code, maintain and deploy quality code within an agile environment.
• Be a collaborative member of a modern software team by owning, supporting and contributing to processes, standards, and designs alongside engineering teams in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Canada and beyond.
• Be a supportive team member, working with other Just Eat engineering teams with their problems in the messaging space.
• Be product-oriented. Develop software that other people want to use, define product features, participate in workshops with other product development teams and communicate the technical work of your team to other product development teams.
• Own workstreams and track the progress you are making towards the wider goals of your team, and transparently communicate that progress to your team and Technology Manager.
• Ensure you and others continuously improve by proposing and implementing new processes, designs and engineering practices that make your team more effective.
• Take responsibility for supporting your changes all the way through to proving that they work well – and continue to work well – in production.
• Support our components in production, being part of an on‑call rota.

What you will bring to the table:

• Delivering high-quality software projects, using established best practices, and being able to implement mechanisms to ensure the quality is kept during its lifecycle.
• Solid coding fundamentals (our codebase is Go and C#).
• Knowledge of infrastructure as code tools such as pulumi, CDK, terraform.
• Able to work independently and collaborate to solve complex problems.
• Amazon Web Services.
• Experience in an Agile environment (Scrum, Kanban).
• Critical thinking and good communication skills.
• Exposure to streaming, messaging or event driven architecture.

You’ll have an advantage if you have experience on:

• Messaging technologies, such as Kafka or SNS/SQS.
• HTTP, REST or other API technologies (we use OpenSpec or AsyncAPI).
• Modern DevOps mentality, frequent CI/CD release cycles, aware of the value of self service.
• Working in microservices and event-driven architecture.
• Serverless computing and cloud architecture patterns.
• Working within an e-commerce business where reliability is critical.
• Experience with frameworks to manage containerized workloads and services, such as Kubernetes.
