About the job

About Our Team

Join the Local Developer Experience (DevEx) team at Deliveroo, part of the Foundations group, where we empower engineers to rapidly develop, test, and deploy high-quality services with confidence. We enhance and innovate the local developer experience across the Deliveroo group through a streamlined, DevContainers-based development platform, facilitating agentic workflows alongside integrated IDE tools. Our mission is to elevate engineering standards in Quality, Velocity, and Efficiency by creating scalable framework-level tooling and developer workflows.

About the Role

As a Staff Platform Engineer, you will be recognized as a subject matter expert in at least one key technical domain and will be responsible for implementing solutions that yield significant group-wide outcomes. You will lead the technical direction for your team, eliminate complex technical obstacles across multiple teams, and mentor fellow engineers. Reporting to senior managers, you will collaborate with leadership to drive broad impact.

Your Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

  • Define and implement technical solutions for critical business challenges, gaining an understanding of the context surrounding major organizational decisions.

  • Oversee the technical architecture for both local and remote development workflows, including DevContainers, IDE remote backends, and seamless integration points with our engineering ecosystem.

  • Design and continually refine the paved-path developer journeys, focusing on time-to-first-change, onboarding processes (MSC distribution, Tailscale setup), IDE remote flows, and user experience for daily developer tasks. Measure and iterate based on developer metrics and feedback.

  • Lead the integration strategy for remote execution (e.g., BuildBuddy), enhance development efficiency on the company monorepo (Pedregal), and establish caching/invalidation methods to ensure swift, predictable developer workflows.

  • Additionally, manage project timelines and risks while maintaining a sustainable team pace.

Collaboration & Leadership

  • Facilitate alignment among non-adjacent teams and disciplines (Product, Security, Core Infrastructure, and Product Engineering) to tackle unstructured challenges. This includes coaching team members at all levels and nurturing emerging leaders within the team.
