Hungry for a challenge? That's great news! At Just Eat Takeaway.com (JET), we believe everything is possible-or as we like to say, everything is on the table. As a leading global online food delivery marketplace, our tech ecosystem connects millions of active customers with hundreds of thousands of partners across the globe. Our mission? To empower every food moment around the world, whether it's through customer service, coding, or couriers. The Go Engineering role is pivotal in connecting partners with the Just Eat Takeaway platform. We're on the lookout for engineers who are ready to elevate our integration platform while ensuring the core functionality that thousands of our partners rely on remains intact. As an engineer in the JET Connect team, you won't just be writing code; you'll be building high-volume POS and menu integrations that keep global brands like McDonald's, KFC, and Domino's running smoothly across 10+ countries. In this role, you will have the opportunity to: • 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. You'll 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 escape., • Contribute to system design: Help implement scalable solutions and engage in technical discussions 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. We're not looking for someone who knows everything about system architecture from day one; that's what our senior engineers are here for. Instead, we seek a proactive problem solver with a solid foundation. Here's what we'd love to see: • Solid Go experience: A few years of commercial experience writing clean, efficient, and testable code in Go., • A proactive mindset: You actively seek ways to improve the codebase, fix bugs, and streamline processes., • Event-Driven know-how: A good understanding of microservices and event-driven design, including the complexities of eventual consistency and distributed systems., • An SRE mindset: You care deeply about what happens after your code goes live, focusing on maintaining and improving production services., • Great communication: You're comfortable "working out loud" and can explain technical concepts to non-technical folks with ease., • Quality first: Experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD) and an openness to pair programming when tackling complex problems., • AI-Assisted Development: You're comfortable using AI coding assistants and LLMs to enhance your daily workflow, from scaffolding code to debugging complex issues., • AWS Cloud Services: Hands‑on experience with specific Amazon Web Services, including DynamoDB, SNS, SQS, and S3., • Bonus points: Previous experience in an international company or dealing with high-volume transactional systems (like POS or e-commerce). Experience with Kafka is also a strong plus. Our teams forge connections internally and collaborate with some of the best‑known brands on the planet, giving us a truly international impact in a dynamic environment. Fun, fast‑paced, and supportive, the JET culture is all about movement, growth, and celebrating every aspect of our JETers. Thanks to them, we stay one step ahead of the competition.
