About the Opportunity:

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.

The Impact You Will Make:

• Software development around scalability, availability and performance
• Write lots of code (Java + Python) to enhance the reliability of the services in the delivery ecosystem
• Define, maintain, and manage service and business level Service Level Objectives (SLOs)
• Be a subject matter expert on how the platform operates (service discovery, load balancing, monitoring/metrics, et cetera)

Key Technologies:

• Java (Spring + Guice framework experience a plus)
• Python
• AWS
• Cassandra
• Docker
• Eureka
• Linux (Ubuntu)

What You Bring to the Table:

• Being embedded within a Software Engineering team
• Writing testable code in Java and Python
• Experience building+maintaining REST/RPC APIs
• Highly available architecture
• Continuous delivery principles and practices
• Monitoring best practices
• Service discovery
• Load testing
• Public Cloud (AWS, Google or Azure)
• Linux (understand how things work under the hood)

Got These? Even Better:

• NoSQL (Cassandra)
• JVM performance tuning
• Highly trafficked web-based software engineering experience
