Job description

As the world’s pioneering local delivery platform, our mission is to deliver an amazing experience, fast, easy, and to your door. We operate in over 70+ countries worldwide, powered by tech, designed by people. As one of Europe’s largest tech platforms, we enable creative minds to deliver solutions that create impact within our ecosystem. We move fast, take action and adapt. No matter where you’re from or what you believe in, we build, we deliver, we lead. We are Delivery Hero., We’re hiring a Backend Engineer II to join the Central Tracking SDK team within Delivery Hero’s Global Services unit. Based in our Barcelona hub, you will be the backbone of our tracking infrastructure, building the high-performance APIs that power our native UI SDKs across all Delivery Hero brands (Glovo, Foodpanda, Talabat, etc.). YOUR MISSION Your mission is to bridge the gap between complex global tracking systems and the mobile UI. You will design and build scalable, low-latency services that ensure the UI SDK receives the right data at the right time. You will work closely with iOS and Android engineers to define the contracts that allow our tracking components to be dynamic, performant, and consistent across 60+ countries and millions of users. THE JOURNEY

  • Service Orchestration: Design, build, and maintain the service layer that serves as the entry point for our native iOS and Android Tracking SDKs.
  • API Contract Design: Partner with mobile engineers to define robust and efficient API contracts (REST) that minimize payload size and latency.
  • System Scalability: Ensure the reliability of systems processing billions of events, focusing on high throughput and low-latency response times.
  • Cross-Stack Collaboration: Work closely with the core Tracking teams to ensure data flows correctly from the UI components through your services and into the global data lake and inner source when required.
  • Architecture & Quality: Write clean, maintainable code and ensure high test quality. Participate in the RFC process to help shape the technical direction of the central tracking platform.
  • Operational Excellence: Own the monitoring, alerting, and performance profiling of your services using tools like Grafana, Sentry, or Prometheus.

Requirements

Backend Expertise: 2-3 years of experience in backend development (preferably using Java/Kotlin).

  • API Design: Strong experience in building and versioning APIs for mobile clients. You understand the specific challenges of mobile networking (flaky connections, battery impact, etc.).
  • A collaborative mindset: You enjoy partnering closely with mobile engineers to design and evolve APIs that aren’t just functional, but are specifically optimized for the unique constraints and needs of a world-class mobile experience.
  • System Design: Solid foundation in software design, data structures, and distributed systems.
  • Cloud & DevOps: Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Quality Mindset: Passion for testing (Unit, Integration, and E2E) and a focus on “Definition of Done.”
  • Communication: Full professional English proficiency and a collaborative mindset to work with multi-disciplinary teams.

Benefits & conditions

  •  Extra time off, the freedom to work from home two days a week, and the opportunity to work from anywhere for up to three weeks a year!
  • Enhanced parental leave, and office-based nursery.
