The opportunity
The Core Engineering teams build the systems and tooling that enable Wolt, Deliveroo, and DoorDash engineers to develop, ship, and operate software at scale. We treat infrastructure, CI / CD, and developer tooling as software products, engineered with the same care as customer-facing systems.
What you'll do
Take ownership of complex infrastructure initiatives end-to-end, spanning: Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, networking, and infrastructure-as-code frameworks - making most technical decisions within scope without needing oversight.
Break initiatives down into executable work, identify dependencies, provide: accurate estimates, and document project-level technical decisions and how infrastructure components interact.
Design, deploy, and operate secure, scalable systems in AWS, and know when: and how to pull in other teams to support cross-cutting initiatives.
Independently plan and drive technical improvements to the compute and cloud: platform, using data and clear success metrics to prioritize work.
Build and own self-service tooling, automation, and Infrastructure-as-Code: frameworks that let other engineering teams provision environments and infrastructure safely and consistently.
Unblock other teams through code and design reviews, proactively answering: questions, and sharing knowledge via guides, playbooks, and internal tech talks.
What they're looking for
- A track record of owning complex technical initiatives end-to-end,: contributing to making architecture-level decisions and understanding their long-term consequences.
- Deep, hands-on expertise operating Kubernetes and container orchestration in: production, including cluster scaling, upgrades, and multi-tenancy.
- Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), including networking,: IAM, account structuring, and cost management.
- Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform preferred) and building: provisioning or automation frameworks that other engineers rely on.
- Solid software engineering skills (Go, Python, or similar) applied to: building internal tooling and automation, not just operational scripting.
- Broader knowledge across supportive technologies (e.g. Kafka, gRPC, Postgres: / MongoDB, Redis, CI / CD such as GitHub Actions) and the ability to weigh trade-offs between them for a given problem.
- Solid understanding of SRE principles, including incident response,: fault-tolerant architecture, and capacity planning.
- Experience unblocking and mentoring other engineers (e.g. code / design: reviews, knowledge sharing, or driving best practices), and willingness to contribute to hiring across interviewing, tech talks, etc.
