Ready for a challenge?

That’s good, because at Just Eat Takeaway.com (JET) we believe everything is possible, or, as we say, everything is on the table. We are a leading global online food delivery marketplace. Our tech ecosystem connects millions of active customers with hundreds of thousands of connected partners in countries across the globe. Our mission? To empower every food moment around the world, whether it’s through customer service, coding or couriers.

About this role

The Experimentation Platform team is dedicated to supporting the business by operating JET's internal feature management and experimentation platform, JetFM. This involves processing vast amounts of experiment data, and thoroughly analysing and interpreting the results. Your primary goal in this role is to help scale the use and scope of this state-of-the-art experimentation platform, expanding experimentation throughout the organisation. Automation and making experimentation fully self-served are the key objectives, addressing the current complexity and learning curve for users and driving greater volume of experiments. 

What would that look like in your day-to-day work? A big part of the role is developing complex data pipelines in Python operating on massive amounts of data in Big Query. But the work asks for a a more versatile engineering skillset, not limited to traditional data engineering: evolving backend APIs, productionising statistical methodologies at scale, integration with other platforms or building data tools as required. You will collaborate closely with other engineers, data scientists, and analysts as part of a broader engineering community. 

These are some of the key components to the position:

Design, develop, and maintain reliable and scalable data engineering solutions within Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Work collaboratively, prioritising teamwork and stakeholder value to achieve collective goals

Advocate for building future-proof solutions for long-term impact.

Spread engineering skills and best practices within the team and wider engineering community.

Work cross-functionally with other Platform Engineering teams to resolve issues and standardise practices.

Continuously improve &  maintain robust infrastructure, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) processes, and monitoring solutions for the experimentation platform.

Integrate the experimentation platform with new data sources and develop data flows for processing and transforming data.

Develop the experimentation platform with efficient reporting solutions and cloud APIs to deliver experiment results to stakeholders.

Engineer a metrics library solution in the data warehouse to enable stakeholders to self-serve experimentation metrics, addressing the current month-and-a-half build time for metrics.

Collaborate with data scientists to implement new methodological improvements to the statistical experimentation engine in a scalable and future-proof manner.

What will you bring to the team?

Dedication to Data Engineering such as Google Vertex AI pipelines, Airflow/DBT

Proficiency in Python for engineering applications

Experience with setting up, deploying, and managing cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).

Strong application of engineering best practices across the product development lifecycle, including automated testing, CI/CD, and code reviews.

Comfortable working with various technologies across the software and data engineering stack, including Airflow, Vertex AI, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Google Cloudbuild, Prometheus, and Grafana.

Solid experience in cloud data storage, with particular expertise in Google BigQuery (GBQ), GCS/S3

Demonstrable ability to produce high-quality engineering solutions free of technical debt, with a passion for maintaining high standards.

An excellent team player, capable of working collaboratively, communicating clearly, and providing/receiving feedback.

Ability to confidently write elegant, consistent, and maintainable source code with minimal supervision.

A working understanding of experimentation methodologies, such as the statistical evaluation of A/B tests.

A caring attitude towards the personal and professional development of the wider team, nurturing a collaborative and dynamic culture.

At JET, this is on the menu

Our teams forge connections internally and work with some of the best-known brands on the planet, giving us truly international impact in a dynamic environment.

Fun, fast-paced and supportive, the JET culture is about movement, growth, and about celebrating every aspect of our JETers. Thanks to them we stay one step ahead of the competition.

Cloud Computing Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the cloud computing jobs market in the UK is shifting again. The era of “lift & shift everything to the cloud” is giving way to a more mature, cost-conscious & security-focused phase. Many organisations are tightening budgets, some are rationalising cloud spend, yet demand for strong cloud talent remains high – especially around multi-cloud, FinOps, cloud security, data platforms & AI on cloud. Vendors are racing to integrate generative AI into their offerings, enterprises are modernising legacy estates, & regulators are asking tougher questions about resilience, sovereignty & risk. At the same time, some roles are being automated or commoditised, & the bar for cloud roles keeps rising. Whether you are a cloud job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building cloud teams, understanding the key cloud computing hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Cloud Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK cloud hiring has shifted from title-led CV screens to capability-driven assessments that emphasise platform reliability, cost control (FinOps), defence-in-depth security, automation via IaC, high-availability design, and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for platform engineers, SREs, cloud security engineers, DevOps, solutions architects, FinOps practitioners & data/AI platform engineers. Who this is for: Cloud/platform engineers, SREs, DevOps, cloud security, FinOps, network engineers, solutions/enterprise architects, data/ML platform engineers, observability engineers & cloud product managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Cloud Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For many years, cloud computing careers in the UK meant roles for infrastructure specialists, system administrators, network engineers & software developers. Today, the picture looks very different. Cloud has become the backbone of digital transformation across industries — from healthcare to finance, education to government. With that reach comes new expectations. Cloud isn’t just about servers & storage anymore. It’s about handling sensitive data responsibly, meeting regulatory obligations, designing intuitive user experiences, communicating clearly with diverse stakeholders & understanding how people actually interact with complex digital systems. This means cloud careers are increasingly multidisciplinary, requiring expertise in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design alongside technical skills. In this article, we’ll explore why cloud careers in the UK are broadening, how these five disciplines intersect with cloud work, what it means for job-seekers & employers, and how to future-proof your career in this fast-changing sector.
