Rebel Foods - Data Engineer

Background :

- Data in today's world is the most important element in driving the decisions for customer experience, business, and everything in general. Most of the high growth consumer based internet companies (e.g. Amazon - Retail, Netflix - Entertainment/Media, Uber - Mobility etc) have constantly been disrupting their respective industries by powering their end to end business processes and products with in-depth data analysis and data science systems. The restaurant industry still remains the major consumer-centric industry where online penetration and automations are minuscule. Our goal is simple - to change this incumbent mode of business in the food space.

- Today, with 3000+ virtual / delivery only internet restaurants in 40 cities across India, Indonesia, UAE and UK with 15+ brands (Faasos, Behrouz Biryani, Oven Story pizza etc), Rebel Foods is the world's largest and fastest growing internet restaurant company. Online Food Services (FoodTech) could be broken into Food Discovery (commerce), Preparation (manufacturing/SCM) & Delivery (logistics) platforms and each of these vertical/platform has many use cases which need to be solved at scale.

- Many companies (Swiggy, Zomato, DoorDash, Delivery Hero, Gojek etc) are solving the use cases to some extent in FoodDiscovery and Food-Delivery Tech. Food-Preparation Tech remains old world solutions. While we collaborate with many of these companies across the world, we solve the customer problems in food space of all these verticals in an integrated fashion. As a data engineer, you will have interesting challenges in enhancing/re-architecting & managing the data platform & data science models/programs while solving some of the industry-first problem statements of FoodTech industry.
