Job description

Ready for a challenge?

Then Just Eat Takeaway.com might be the place for you. We’re a leading global online food 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.


About this role

The EDGE platform team are the guardians of the JET perimeter. We are focused on providing a secure, highly observable, self-service entry point for all global traffic.


We are currently bridging the gap between today's operational realities and tomorrow's capabilities. As a Platform Engineer, you will own defined components of our edge ecosystem: keeping our active ingress routing stable and secure, helping untangle fragmented legacy edge infrastructure, and building features into our next-generation, decentralised gateway platform. You will do this alongside senior engineers who will back you in widening that ownership over time.


Location: Remote Canada or Remote UK

Reporting to: Technology Manager


These are some of the key ingredients to the role:

  • Maintain and secure the global ingress and gateway estate, and deliver the migration of legacy edge infrastructure onto modern, decentralised gateway platforms.
  • Work with Platform, Security, and Engineering teams to build resilient, highly observable edge traffic routing, contributing to the design and owning your part of the delivery.
  • Build automation and tooling that makes the platform easier to adopt, reduces manual support work, and takes toil off the team.
  • Contribute to a high-velocity, multi-environment deployment pipeline and a collaborative peer review culture, holding a high standard both in the changes you raise and the reviews you give.
  • Write clear documentation and technical runbooks as you deliver, and take part in a rotational on-call program for platform stability and incident response.

What will you bring to the table?

  • Experience building, configuring, or supporting public-facing traffic routing, reverse proxies, or API gateways in production.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure and containerised environments using modern Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD tooling (Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions).
  • Working proficiency in a modern programming language (Go, Python, C# or similar), used to build automated tooling and platform capabilities.
  • Experience delivering infrastructure change against live production services, understanding how to limit disruption and when to ask for a second pair of eyes.
  • Clear technical writing, and the confidence to communicate progress, risk, and blockers to the team and the teams that depend on it.

At JET, this is on the menu:

Our teams forge connections internally and work with some of the best-known brands on the planet, giving us truly international impact in a dynamic environment.


Fun, fast-paced and supportive, the JET culture is about movement, growth and about celebrating every aspect of our JETers. Thanks to them we stay one step ahead of the competition.
