Depending on your role, you may collaborate with teammates, systems, and leaders across DoorDash and Wolt. Together, we’re unlocking new possibilities as one global team.\nJoin us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation and growth drive everything we do. Our Global Engineering teams tackle complex technical challenges across a global, three-sided marketplace, building and scaling systems that serve millions of customers, riders and partners every day.\nWe're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join our London office as part of a Global DoorDash Engineering team (working hybrid, 3 days in the office).\nOur New Verticals team exists to grow monthly active usage outside of restaurant ordering - groceries, retail, and everything in between. That means turning someone who only orders restaurant food into someone who also uses the app for a grocery run, and turning dormant users into active ones. You'll work on the surfaces that make that happen: the homepage, vertical landing pages, and the notifications that bring people back. This role sits closer to the personalisation and ranking side of that mission, working alongside colleagues across DoorDash, Deliveroo and Wolt.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nBuild and improve ranking models for vertical landing pages (grocery, retail), deciding what a user sees first when they land on a store page\n\nDesign models that blend new-vertical content into a homepage built around restaurant ordering, without disrupting the core experience\n\nBuild personalisation models that translate a user's existing behaviour into relevant recommendations for verticals they haven't tried yet\n\nContribute to notification targeting - who gets notified, with what message, and when, to drive adoption of new verticals\n\nWhat You'll Need to Thrive\nMinimum 3+ years of experience as an ML Engineer or Data Scientist, with a proven ability to write high-quality production code in Python\n\nExperience with end-to-end model productionisation\n\nA bias to simplicity, where you care most about achieving impact\n\nBackground in personalisation, ranking, or recommender systems; exposure to causal inference or uplift modelling is a genuine plus but not expected\n\nWhy Join Us?\nAt Deliveroo, you'll do work that matters-solving real-world problems in a three-sided marketplace that's constantly evolving. We're food lovers, problem solvers, community builders and more, brought together by a shared drive to make things better. Working here you can expect to:\nSolve meaningful problems at real scale\nWork on a complex, always-on marketplace that impacts millions every day.\nSee your impact, fast\nShip, test and improve ideas quickly in a low-hierarchy, high-ownership environment.\nGrow through challenge and ownership\nTake on big, ambiguous problems and accelerate your career with strong support.\nA culture built for builders\nHigh standards, collaboration, flexible working and continuous learning.\nShare in the success you help create\nCompetitive salary and equity options, so you're rewarded for the impact you make.\nWant a deeper look at how we build? Check out our Tech Blog.\nDiversity, Equity and Inclusion\nAt Deliveroo, we know that a great workplace reflects the world around us and that true diversity and inclusion make us stronger, more creative, and better at what we do. We’re committed to fostering an environment where everyone can do their best work and feel they belong.\nWe believe in equality of opportunity and welcome candidates from all backgrounds regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion, or belief.\nIf you have a disability or long-term health condition and need support to apply for one of our roles, or require any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, you’ll have the opportunity to let us know once you’ve submitted your application. We’ll share details on how to request support so we can ensure you have a fair and equitable experience.\nIf you’re excited about making a real impact in a fast-moving marketplace and growing your career alongside ambitious, supportive teams, we’d love to hear from you!\n\nBeware of recruitment scams: DASH Brands will never ask you to pay money or share sensitive financial information during hiring - learn more about DASH Brands' legitimate recruiting process at careersatdoordash.com/recruitment-scam-awareness.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4561,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Equity","Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T12:25:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":55,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.734,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":31,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:late","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/deliveroo-machine-learning-engineer-ii-growth-personalisation","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/deliveroo-machine-learning-engineer-ii-growth-personalisation.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T07:40:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8086,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1872590},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1872590"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdeliveroo-machine-learning-engineer-ii-growth-personalisation"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdeliveroo-machine-learning-engineer-ii-growth-personalisation"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdeliveroo-machine-learning-engineer-ii-growth-personalisation"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/deliveroo-machine-learning-engineer-ii-growth-personalisation\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdeliveroo-machine-learning-engineer-ii-growth-personalisation"}]}
