More About the Role
We are in need of additional software- and service-focused SREs to ensure reliable delivery of projects (and food!). Both Delivery and Restaurant SRE teams are looking for qualified candidates. SREs in the Delivery group focus on all services related to our driver network and logistics related to delivering food. They oversee how our delivery partners interact with our systems to accept new assignments and deliver your food, the services (and algorithms) which dispatch work to delivery-partners to maximize efficiency while ensuring on-time deliveries, how delivery partners are paid, and so much more! Restaurant SRE group ensures that restaurants reliably receive and confirm orders so they can prepare food on time. They also oversee all systems related to restaurant information, such as operating hours and menu items, and make sure that information is up to date and reliably propagated throughout our Grubhub marketplace. Both teams help design and build complex distributed systems at an incredible, highly available, multi-datacenter, scale.
