About this Senior Platform Engineer role at Just Eat Takeaway.com

Just Eat Takeaway.com · Onsite · Amsterdam Office

Ready for a challenge?

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.


About this role

We’re setting up a new team focusing on the developer and agentic experience, as well as the enablement, of a new Data and Machine Learning Platform within JET (Mobius). Within the past year we’ve built new Data & ML Platforms on AWS and now we want to double down on the experience of these. You’ll work closely with Product and our Data & ML Platform teams to improve the user and agentic experience of our platforms, as well as upskilling and enabling new users of the platforms. This is a brand new team within our space, so we’re looking for someone excited to shape the culture and vision of the team, as well as help shape the data mentality across our product and technology department. 


Whilst this is a developer platform role for internal platforms, it also includes enabling users to use the data platform correctly through sharing knowledge of data transformation and how to use the platform correctly. Part of this role will include working with Product Engineering teams directly, as a practitioner who builds alongside them and transfers capability in the process. Deep Data Engineering knowledge is not required for this role, but you should be comfortable picking it up quickly and working alongside data engineers as a peer.  


This isn't a pure platform engineering role and it isn't a pure data engineering role. It sits at the intersection of platform, experience, and enablement - and the best candidates will find that intersection exciting rather than uncomfortable.


These are some of the key components to the position:  

  • Own and drive the backlog comprised of improvements to onboarding tooling, documentation improvements, and the overall developer experience of our Data & ML Platforms
  • Maintain and improve the agentic interface layer, making the platform accessible to AI agents as first-class users
  • Pair with engineers on embed engagements as a Forward Deployed Engineer, working directly alongside product engineering teams to deliver data engineering work
  • Support knowledge transfer sessions: helping product engineers understand what was built, why, and how to maintain it
  • Define and iterate on ways of working, engagement playbooks, and reusable patterns as the team matures
  • Mentor junior engineers in the team and contribute to raising the bar for platform engineering practices across the Data & ML Platform pillar 

What will you bring to the team? 

  • You’re a clear communicator and can explain complex technical concepts to non specialists, having driven best practises and influenced engineering culture outside of your team 
  • You’re comfortable working in other people’s code bases, exploring new components - bonus points if you’ve worked in an innersource environment before 
  • You have strong experience building cloud-native platforms on AWS, GCP, or Azure, with an understanding of Kubernetes and streaming technologies such as Flink or Spark.
  • You have experience building self-service platforms or internal developer platforms (IDPs), and have contributed to internal advocacy programmes or communities 
  • You care deeply about developer experience, usability, and reducing cognitive load through good abstractions.
  • You are experienced with GitOps and CI/CD systems and understand how to build reliable, automated delivery pipelines.
  • Experience with data engineering concepts (streaming, batch processing, data storage systems) or a demonstrable track record of picking up new technical domains quickly
