Engineering Manager

Deliveroo is hiring an Engineering Manager for Hyderabad. This is a full-time role at the Hyderabad office on a hybrid pattern, usually three days a week on site. The engineering organisation solves demanding technical problems inside the company's three-sided marketplace, creating and operating platforms used daily by a very large community of customers, couriers and merchant partners. The work spans live logistics, dependable infrastructure and improvements to how the marketplace functions.

The manager leads a cross-disciplinary group of engineers covering backend, iOS, Android and web work, and reports upward to either a Senior Engineering Manager or an Engineering Director. Duties include defining project objectives, shaping technical and product direction, steering implementation decisions, and keeping the group aligned with metrics set for the whole team. The post also involves coaching engineers and emerging leaders, raising productivity and code quality through practical engineering routines, and staying hands-on by reviewing code and technical designs. Ensuring the group's systems are well monitored and healthy is part of the role, as is partnering with product, design and operations colleagues to influence the roadmap.

The listing calls for significant people management experience, with a minimum of two years managing engineering groups, including performance reviews and goal setting. Applicants should come from a software engineering background and have built user-focused products at speed, plus a record of recruiting, onboarding and developing staff. Guiding people through uncertainty while supervising staff across locations is expected. The company says its interview process usually has three to four stages.
