The Opportunity

Just Eat Takeaway is looking for a Technology Manager to lead and grow the Partner Order Progress and Insights team in the Partner Operations domain.

The Partner Order Progress and Insights team is dedicated to transforming complex operational data into actionable intelligence. We build and maintain a sophisticated, real-time insights layer designed to empower our Partners to streamline their operations, and maximize revenue growth in partnership with JET.

As a Technology Manager you will be responsible for coordinating the design and implementation of solutions built by your engineers to provide solutions for our key capabilities;

• Intelligent Insights - Develop an adaptable, multi-channel data layer that serves as the "brain" for partner insight into their partnership with JET. We ensure the right insight reaches the partner at the right time via the most effective channel.
• Operational Optimization - Provide real-time, predictive alerts to help Partners manage "the night" effectively-reducing delays, preventing order errors, and shrinking complex tasks into single-click interactions.
• Growth Guidance - Identify immediate and strategic value opportunities, such as menu/product gaps and joint marketing ventures, to drive incremental revenue for both the Partner and JET.

By leveraging JET's high-scale streaming architecture, we turn raw data into "intelligent nudges" that guide Partners toward better decision-making-whether that's saving an order in the moment or identifying long term expansion opportunities.

We build for scale and speed, ensuring our insights are as close to real time as possible. Our technology builds on JET's platform ecosystem:

• Modern Product Engineering - Developing robust, scalable services using Kotlin, Java or .NET and delivering intuitive, high-performance user experiences via modern Web Technologies.
• Real-Time Data Processing - Leveraging Mobius (JET's streaming data platform) to process millions of events with sub-second latency feeding AI models and our analytics platform.
• Data Intelligence - Utilizing BigQuery for deep historical analysis and pattern recognition to power our predictive recommendation engine.
• Agentic AI - Integrating our insights layer with JET's communication and optimization agents to drive automated partner decision-making.

These are some of the key ingredients to the role:

At JET - Technology Managers have primary accountability for the technical direction, engineering quality and execution of multiple product development teams.
