Deliveroo trebles Edinburgh workforce with 70 new tech jobs arriving this year

Food delivery giant Deliveroo has announced plans to expand its Edinburgh HQ with the addition of 70 highly-skilled jobs.

These new roles will see the company's workforce in the capital more than treble in size.

Engineers, designers and data scientists are among the jobs Deliveroo hopes to fill.

The company have said the expansion is aimed at improving support for delivery riders.

It comes as Deliveroo prepares to move their existing Edinburgh team from technology incubator CodeBase on Castle Terrace to a new HQ in April.

Deliveroo's vice president of engineering Dan Winn said he hoped the company's first UK technology office outside London would "reflect the strength of the tech sector and the scale of our ambition for Edinburgh".

He added: "Edinburgh is one of the UK's fastest-growing tech hubs, with access to an excellent talent pool of high-skilled people and university graduates. We are excited to build on Cultivate's expertise to develop cutting-edge products and services from our new office.

"These new products will improve rider experience and help restaurants grow their businesses, with a particular focus on small businesses."

Digital economy minister Kate Forbes said: "This brings exciting employment and digital skills opportunities, helping us achieve our ambition for Scotland to be a world-class digital nation."
