[London, XX date]: Deliveroo today announces that it will create 400 high-skilled tech jobs as it looks to support its rapid growth. The announcement reaffirms Deliveroo's commitment to developing new innovations to help restaurants grow, give riders the work they want, and provide customers with the best selection and experience, whilst also building an emotional connection with the brand.

The company is seeking to hire across a range of skill sets including software engineers, product managers, user researchers, designers, and data scientists. The expansion will mean that Deliveroo will double its tech team to more than 800 staff over the next 12 months. The team will be working on a range of projects, such as improving Deliveroo's on-demand grocery delivery offering, expanding its Signature service, and growing the company's delivery-only Editions kitchens across the globe.

The announcement comes as Deliveroo reveals new tech features which will help restaurant partners connect directly with customers and give them access to real-time data to help strengthen their offering.

The new features will allow restaurants to receive real-time feedback and reviews from customers - visible only to restaurants - on their service. Restaurants will be able to identify whether feedback is from first time or returning customers, which alongside direct customer-to-restaurant communication within the app will allow restaurants to respond to feedback, send vouchers, remedy order issues in real-time, and give personal touches to new or loyal customers.

These brand new tools and features were developed following engagement with restaurants, and will help them maximise their connection with customers and in turn encourage customers to continue ordering delivery and dine-in. These benefits are more vital than ever for restaurants as they look to strengthen their online offering and reach more customers.

Dan Winn, Chief Technology Officer of Deliveroo, said: 'Deliveroo is proud to be at the forefront of Britain's dynamic technology sector and we're excited to be expanding our tech team to help drive Deliveroo's growth. These new hires will play a vital role in building best-in-class technology to help restaurants reach new customers, improve rider experience, and give customers access to the food they love.'
