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 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.

  • 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.
