Analytics Platform Engineer

Why Deliveroo?

Our mission is to transform the way you shop and eat, bringing the neighbourhood to your door by connecting consumers, restaurants, shops and riders. . We are transforming the way the world eats and shops by making access to food and products more convenient and enjoyable. We give people the opportunity to buy what they want, as they want it, when and where they want it.

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.

The Role

As part of the Analytics Engineering team, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping and running Deliveroo’s data and analytics platforms. Your focus will be on ensuring our BI solutions empower analysts, data scientists, engineers, and business teams to work faster, smarter, and with greater impact.

Your initial priority will be the ongoing development and optimisation of our Looker platform. From there, you’ll contribute to shaping our wider BI strategy, exploring and adopting emerging technologies such as conversational analytics, AI-powered insights, and tools that enhance data discovery, literacy, and overall governance.

However, as an Analytics Platform Engineer, you’ll also have opportunities to contribute across the wider data platform. This may involve designing and maintaining infrastructure, working on our low-latency data pipelines, building automated solutions, and contributing to technical design discussions and reviews — all while broadening your engineering skill set and collaborating closely with colleagues across the team.

This is a hands-on engineering role, with a blend of technical delivery, platform ownership, and user enablement. Success means creating a reliable, high-performing, and forward-looking BI ecosystem that helps everyone at Deliveroo unlock the full potential of our data.

Skillset

We want to emphasise that we don’t expect you to meet all of the below but we would love for you to have experience in some of the following areas:

Extensive experience with BI platforms (Looker desirable, but not essential if transferable)

Technical skills in areas such as SQL, Python, data modelling, and platform administration

A user-first mindset: motivated by enabling others to be more effective with data

Curiosity and adaptability, with a passion for exploring new technologies including AI-powered analytics

A collaborative approach and the ability to work across diverse teams with varying data needs

Expertise in modern, agile software development processes

Life at Deliveroo

We are a growing team, with very large impact, seeking to answer some of the most interesting questions out there. We move fast, we’re always looking for new ideas and we’re very transparent about the decisions we make and why we make them.

There are so many questions we need to answer and plenty more we haven’t even encountered. How do data and technology help restaurants to grow as consumer habits change? How can we predict what someone wants to order for dinner long before the idea has even crossed their mind? At Deliveroo these are just some of the tough problems we are solving - and there is no challenge that cannot be yours. No solution is owned by a particular team, which means the scope for growth and personal impact is enormous.

Diversity

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 start-ups around.
