Brazilian food-delivery ecosystem platform connecting restaurants, logistics, and payments
iFood operates a multi-sided marketplace for food delivery across Brazil with ~7,000 employees, structured around partner acquisition, logistics optimization, and financial services. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward sales (48 roles) versus engineering (16), reflecting a sales-led, partner-acquisition motion; concurrent adoption of RAG and MCP suggests early-stage AI tooling for internal workflows or partner-facing automation. Active projects span route planning, partner onboarding cycles, and portfolio management — all areas where they're also documenting friction (31-day onboarding cycles, upsell identification, partner performance monitoring).
iFood is a Brazilian tech ecosystem operating a food-delivery platform that extends beyond logistics into partner enablement and financial services (iFood Pago). The company serves restaurants, delivery partners, and consumers across Brazil from headquarters in Osasco, São Paulo. With 5,001–10,000 employees, the organization emphasizes rapid iteration and learning. The tech stack runs on AWS infrastructure (SQS, SNS) with Kafka for event streaming, Kubernetes orchestration, and polyglot services (Go, Java, Kotlin, Python). Sales tooling (Salesforce Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator) and analytics (Looker, Tableau, Power BI) form the operational spine for partner management and performance tracking.
