About the opportunity
We are on the lookout for a motivated and eager-to-learn Junior Software Engineer to join the Global Feature Store team at Glovo
The Feature Store is a key component of Delivery Hero’s Machine Learning stack, allowing Data Scientists easy and consistent access to model features at training and serving time and reducing the duplication of feature engineering efforts across teams. Our Feature Store also powers backend engineering use cases which require low latency access to data in our Data Lake, vastly reducing development time of these projects and allowing feature discoverability and reusage across the organization.
Our team is located in Barcelona, in Glovo offices, but builds and operates the Global Feature Store not only in Glovo but also the rest of the brands in Delivery Hero, our parent company. You will be supported and mentored by a group of senior engineers and your solutions will be used across different use cases, ranging from logistics, fraud detection, ranking, etc. in all the markets Delivery Hero and Glovo operate in. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn and grow in a dynamic and innovative environment.
