Then Just Eat Takeaway.com might be the place for you. We’re a leading global online delivery platform, and our vision is to empower everyday convenience.
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.
We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join the Batch team within the Global Intelligence Platforms organisation, where you will play a central role in building and evolving Mobius - our internal unified analytics and data platform that powers data workloads at scale across Just Eat Takeaway.
Mobius is a Kubernetes-native, declarative data platform that abstracts away infrastructure complexity so that data engineers across the business can provision and manage batch and streaming pipelines through a simple, expressive API. As part of the Batch team, you will own the components that make this a reality for batch processing.
We're looking for someone who can live our behaviours of lead, deliver and care, bring fresh ideas, challenge the status quo, and push for bold, creative solutions to drive the Just Eat Takeaway vision forward.

Proficiency in SQL and experience querying large-scale datasets with engines such as Athena to surface insights for internal and external partners.
-
Experience orchestrating and scheduling data workflows, with an understanding of pipeline dependency management principles (e.g., Airflow).
