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.\nAbout the Company\nHelp us build the world's most reliable, on-demand logistics engine for last-mile delivery! We're bringing on experienced engineers to help us create and maintain a 24x7, no downtime, global infrastructure system that powers the company’s three-sided marketplace of consumers, merchants, and riders.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for experienced engineers to join the EU Traffic team, based at Deliveroo, part of DoorDash, and help build the next generation of DoorDash’s Traffic platform. We are building a single, shared platform designed to serve DoorDash, Deliveroo, and Wolt, so your work will shape reliability and security for all three marketplaces. Our team owns the infrastructure that carries every request into and through that platform: the edge, where we manage Cloudflare (CDN, DNS, rate limiting, bot mitigation) and the ingress systems for external traffic, and service-to-service (S2S) communication, where we run the service mesh and the authentication that secures calls between thousands of services across multiple regions.\nYou will work on core components of our traffic stack, including our Cloudflare edge configuration (managed as code), and service-to-service authentication and authorization (workload identity, token issuance and validation at the mesh layer). This role sits at the intersection of distributed systems, networking, and security. It includes designing, building, and maintaining systems that must operate reliably and efficiently across some of the most critical and latency-sensitive workloads at DoorDash, from the first byte at the edge to the last hop between services.\nYou will report to the Engineering Manager of the EU-Traffic Team within the Infrastructure organization. This role is hybrid working from London.\nYou’re excited about this opportunity because you will…\nDesign and build large-scale distributed systems that are high RPS and latency sensitive\nTroubleshoot, debug, and fix issues that affect production and maintain our SLAs\nWork collaboratively with other platform and product engineers to deliver on feature requests and solve their problems\nFind ways to improve the team’s productivity and operational capabilities through the use of automation, AI tools, and other avenues\nParticipate in a shared on-call rotation and help lead production investigations and incidents, with support from teammates\nMentor and learn from teammates through design reviews, pairing, and incident reviews\nWe’re excited about you because…\nYou have 5+ years of experience as a software engineer in infrastructure, networking, or platform engineering/SRE\nExperience operating edge technologies at scale, such as CDN, WAF, proxy layers, and DNS\nSolid understanding of networking fundamentals like TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTP/2, gRPC, Load Balancing\nBackground working on and debugging high-QPS or latency-sensitive systems\nYou’re curious, collaborative, and comfortable making progress in ambiguity\nYou work AI-first: you delegate to and orchestrate coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) across design, implementation, testing, incident response, and releases\nIf you don’t meet every requirement but are excited about this work, we’d still love to hear from you.\nBonus points if you…\nExperience with programming languages like Go, C++, Python or Rust\nExperience with AWS, especially with networking primitives like LBs, Privatelink, etc. and Kubernetes or other container management tool\nExperience with service mesh technologies such as Envoy, Istio or Linkerd\nFamiliarity with xDS or control plane architectures\nExperience building RPC frameworks or client-side networking libraries\nExperience with Infrastructure as Code tooling like Terraform\nExperience with Gitops delivery tooling such as ArgoCD, Helm, Atlantis.\nTrack record of sharing prompts, tooling, and practices that make a whole team faster with AI\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":5468,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Delivery","Marketplaces","Online Groceries"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T20:22:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/deliveroo-software-platform-engineer-eu-traffic","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/deliveroo-software-platform-engineer-eu-traffic.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T18:53:41Z","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":8111,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"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-software-platform-engineer-eu-traffic"},{"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-software-platform-engineer-eu-traffic"},{"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-software-platform-engineer-eu-traffic"},{"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-software-platform-engineer-eu-traffic\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdeliveroo-software-platform-engineer-eu-traffic"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3481931}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"deliveroo.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3481931},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
