The posting

Position: Staff Forward Deployed Engineer

Location: London, 3 days a week in office

The Role:

We're looking for a technically sharp, product-minded engineer to help push the frontier of AI across Just Eat Takeaway. You'll work with some of our most ambitious internal teams and technology partners - helping them get the most out of advanced AI, and turning those learnings into durable improvements across our organisation.

This is a builder role. You'll dig into complex workflows, identify the gaps that matter, and translate them into concrete technical insights that shape how we build. If you're as comfortable debugging a live workflow as you are designing an evaluation framework or presenting findings to a non-technical audience, you'll fit right in.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Work directly with internal teams and strategic partners to understand critical workflows, uncover failure modes, and identify the highest-impact opportunities for AI improvement.
  • Prototype and iterate on prompts, agents, and workflow designs to understand system behaviour and unlock real value - not just theoretical improvements.
  • Synthesise findings for our Product Engineering and Platform teams, turning real usage patterns into clear, reproducible evaluations, benchmarks, and technical artefacts that improve product and platform quality.
  • Build repeatable tools, patterns, and evaluation approaches that raise the quality bar across multiple use cases - not just one-off fixes.
  • Operate with strong judgment in ambiguous environments, balancing immediate technical problem-solving with longer-term systemic improvement.
  • Build relationships across our engineering and product communities, serving as a trusted technical partner to individuals and teams alike.

These are some of the key components to the position:

You'll thrive here if you have strong software engineering and AI fundamentals - whether that's from experience in a startup, or a product focused role in a larger org. Software engineer, ML engineer, data scientist, or equivalent. Product Managers, BAs or Technical Programme Managers keen to return to a builder role. A track record of shipping production systems end-to-end is a strong plus.

What will you bring to the team?

  • Experience building AI applications, agents, or evaluation systems, with the ability to reason clearly about model behaviour in complex workflows.
  • Comfort working directly with highly experienced functional SMEs and translating their challenges into concrete technical signals.
  • Production experience with AWS at scale, using services like ECS, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS
  • Fluency moving between prototyping, debugging, evaluation design, and cross-functional collaboration - sometimes all in the same day.
  • Working across every layer of the stack - Able to switch between configuring a connector in an admin panel to prompting an agent to contribute code back to our underlying platform.
  • Clear communication across technical and non-technical audiences - you can explain what you found and why it matters.
  • High agency and a strong product sense, with a bias toward building things that last rather than one-off fixes.
  • AI First problem solving, deeply experienced with AI tools to drive fast solution creation, able to balance model usage to maximise ROI, everything from coding to design and more.
  • Bonus: Familiarity with complex market place businesses. Experience as an early-stage startup engineer or in a previous FDE style role. None of these is a dealbreaker - we're more interested in how you think than what you've already shipped.
  • AWS Solutions Architect - Associate (Nice to have)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
