Engineering Manager

About Us:
World’s leading consumer companies are all internet / technology / new age companies -
Amazon (retail), Airbnb / Oyo (Hospitality), Priceline (travel), Netflix / Spotify (Entertainment). The only sector, where traditional companies are still the largest ones is restaurants. McDonald’s market cap is 130 BN USD. With Food Delivery growing exponentially worldwide, there is an opportunity to build world’s most valuable restaurant company on the internet superfast. We have the formula to be that company. Today, we can safely say we are world’s largest delivery only / internet restaurant company, and by a wide margin. At 3000+ individual internet restaurants, in 30 + Indian cities, 3 in UAE, 17 + in Indonesia and 2 in the UK and expanding further, we have indeed come a long way. It’s still Day 1, but we know we are onto something very, very big. We have an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change a 500-year-old industry. For more detail on how we are changing the restaurant industry from the core, using the power of the internet, please refer below. It’s important reading if you want to know our company better and really explore working with us:

While after reading this, the WHAT would be pretty clear, we would also want you to go through the HOW part, which is not just about the Multi-brand business model, but the “Way of working” a.k.a “Values” at Rebel Foods. These so-called values are not mere A3 printouts hung up on wall but actually the sugar- phosphate backbone of the DNA of each one of us making this happen (finally we made you open the google tab, at least for few of you). This is the only OLD part of ours we retain in our journey of achieving NEW milestones and frontiers day in and out.

Engineering History @ Rebel
In order to understand more about the challenges that you might face at Rebel, it’s important that we go back to the inception and get acquainted about our journey till date. From the times when excel sheets served as our POS system at stores having one brand, to our evolution as a company that uses smart kitchens - we have traversed the phone, web and app channels over time. From being a single brand restaurant, we moved to being a parent company with a dozen restaurant brands under the umbrella, while simultaneously moving our operations from a single kitchen to more than 300 locations across 30 cities in India and in a few International locations.
The team of engineers at Rebel has built one of the most unique platforms in the world that can not only help operate a kitchen with multiple brands, but also aids in operating business at scale. To give you additional perspective, the team has built more than 40+ products in the last 4.5 years. The innovation spans through technologies like polygon architecture (dynamic delivery radius) for a multi-brand operation from a kitchen, to managing each step of the kitchen ops —queuing, load / prep time, batching of orders, out of the door algorithms; inventory prediction based on consumption data, personal recommendation engine, deep integration with every aggregator, last mile delivery app, CRM systems, multiple brand websites and apps, reporting and analytics systems, and more. Everything that was mentioned has been built on a tech stack developed by our Engineers. This enabled us to tackle the massive complexity of a multi-brand operation while keeping all parts of the business supremely efficient and optimized.

Future of Engineering @ Rebel We are now building Engineering 2.0 at our company. Thevision is to make technology the Brain ( AI, Machine Learning, analytics to drive every business decision of the company), the Body (robotics led automation at our Kitchens, driving tremendous operational efficiency) and the Mind ( building an AI/ ML driven virtual personal butler for customers across app, web and voice, like Netflix of food) at Rebel. This will mean working across technologies and product / engineering teams to build solutions that would be “first - time” in the world. Engineering @ Rebel will break new grounds.
