Job Description
This is a full-time, on-site backend Software Engineer II role in London on a Subscriptions team. The team concentrates on the central subscription offer across three membership schemes: DashPass, Deliveroo Plus and Wolt+. Engineers coordinate with colleagues in the US and Europe inside the broader Global Subscription organisation to build shared capabilities behind loyalty and membership features for customers around the world.
The posting puts strong emphasis on AI-assisted development. The team regards agentic coding as a discipline in its own right, and engineers are expected to design processes in which AI agents take on bigger portions of a task while people review the decisions that matter. Creating internal tooling that helps the whole group use AI effectively is part of the job, as is staying abreast of new models and tools and forming a grounded view of what delivers value.
Engineers take features from initial idea through to live production, and the subscription schemes are used by millions of people every day. The group is cross-functional, with backend and mobile engineers, web developers, and product, design and data specialists working side by side, and it releases work in small, regular increments.
The role suits a backend engineer who has built and run software at scale and who takes testing, observability, reliability and maintainability seriously. Daily use of AI tools is expected, along with an ownership mindset, clear written and spoken communication across time zones, and a willingness to collaborate across disciplines.
Responsibilities
- Develop backend features for shared subscription capabilities across the three schemes.
- Carry features from idea to production, owning them throughout.
- Create workflows in which AI agents handle larger parts of development work, and settle what people must review.
- Build internal tooling that makes AI-assisted development more dependable for the team.
- Work alongside mobile and web developers, product managers, designers and data analysts across time zones.
- Test, monitor and maintain services so they remain dependable in production.
Requirements
- Solid engineering fundamentals and a history of delivering software that runs at scale.
- Grasp of testing, observability, reliability and maintainability.
- Daily use of AI tools and clear views on how to extract value from them.
- An ownership mindset, with the drive to move projects forward and communicate across teams.
- Interest in working across the consumer app, web, server side and data areas.
Qualifications
- Experience building products, platforms, APIs or apps that run reliably in production.
- Hands-on time trying out AI agents and agent-driven coding flows.
