Our Global Structure
Deliveroo is now part of DoorDash, bringing together teams with even greater reach, scale, and ambition. 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.
Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation and growth drive everything we do. Our 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.
From real-time logistics to resilient infrastructure and marketplace optimisation, we design, build and operate technology that powers Deliveroo’s growth at scale.
The Team:
MX Intelligence builds the tools DoorDash, Deliveroo and Wolt use to find, sign and onboard restaurants and merchants. That covers identifying and matching prospective merchants through to the CRM, quoting and contracting tools sales teams use to bring them onto the platform.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer II (Full stack) to join our London (Hybrid - 3 days from the office) team. In this role, you’ll work across the stack, from the backend services and integrations that handle merchant discovery, matching and onboarding to the web tools sales and operations teams use to quote and sign merchants
