Hungry for a challenge?
That’s good, because at Just Eat Takeaway.com (JET) we believe everything is possible, or, as we say, everything is on the table. We are a leading global online food delivery marketplace. Our tech ecosystem connects millions of active customers with hundreds of thousands of connected partners in countries across the globe.
Our mission? To empower every food moment around the world, whether it’s through customer service, coding or couriers.
The Opportunity
The Golang Engineering role plays a critical part in connecting Grocery Partners with the Just Eat Takeaway platform. We are looking for engineers to take our integration platform to the next level whilst maintaining core functionality on which thousands of our partners depend. This is a mid-level role with a clear route to senior. You'll be solid on the fundamentals today, keen to grow, and happy to bring something to the team beyond your own delivery.
Our Stack
You will work mainly in Golang on event-driven microservices. Day to day that means Kafka, AWS (DynamoDB, S3 in particular), Datadog and Grafana, running on Kubernetes. You don't need all of it on day one. The more of it you've used in production, the faster you'll settle in.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Ingredients to the Role
- Build new features in our core language, Golang
- Contribute to architectural decisions and help move the platform forward
- Support product and delivery teams
- Learn from senior engineers, and share what you pick up with the team
What You Will Bring to the Table
- Some years of backend engineering, including 1+ year of production Go (or 2+ years in another modern backend language, with clear evidence you can pick up Go quickly)
- Solid Go fundamentals: concurrency, error handling, and interfaces
- Microservice and event-driven design experience
- You've built and run at least one production service end to end, including monitoring and fixing what breaks
- Experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD)
- Curiosity and ownership
- A great communicator
- AI-assisted development: the team uses tools like Claude Code and Kiro every day. We want engineers who use AI to move faster while keeping their own engineering judgement, and who can explain and defend any code they ship
- Pair programming experience
- Experience with Kubernetes or another container platform would be a plus
