## About the Role

Some years of backend engineering, including 1+ year of production Go (or 2+ years in another modern backend language, with clear evidence you can pick up Go quickly)
Solid Go fundamentals: concurrency, error handling and interfaces
Microservice and event-driven design experience
You've built and run at least one production service end to end, including monitoring and fixing what breaks
Experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD)
Curiosity and ownership
A great communicator
AI-assisted development: the team uses tools like Claude Code and Kiro every day. We want engineers who use AI to move faster while keeping their own engineering judgement, and who can explain and defend any code they ship
Pair programming experience
Experience with Kubernetes or another container platform would be a plus

## Description

The Golang Engineering role plays a critical part in connecting Grocery Partners with the Just Eat Takeaway platform. We are looking for engineers to take our integration platform to the next level whilst maintaining core functionality on which thousands of our partners depend. This is a mid level role with a clear route to senior. You'll be solid on the fundamentals today, keen to grow, and happy to bring something to the team beyond your own delivery
Our Stack

You will work mainly in Golang on event-driven microservices. Day to day that means Kafka, AWS (DynamoDB, S3 in particular), Datadog and Grafana, running on Kubernetes. You don't need all of it on day one. The more of it you've used in production, the faster you'll settle in.

These are some of the key ingredients to the role:
Build new features in our core language, Golang
Contribute to architectural decisions and help move the platform forward
Support product and delivery teams
Learn from senior engineers, and share what you pick up with the team
