The core product team is responsible for all key scenarios of Yandex Food and Delivery and develops new features to make using the applications even more convenient. We are responsible for everything users see in the Yandex Food app, web versions, and the Yandex Go super app: menus, search, cart, tariffs, order and delivery screens, tracking, and discounts.

Bootcamp is an opportunity to work with several teams in the Food core product division and choose one where you would like to stay.

How it will be:

Over three months, you will work in three different teams within the division: 4 weeks in one, and 3 weeks each in the other two. In each team, you will have a buddy – a person who will tell you about your and the team's areas of responsibility, answer questions, assign you tasks, monitor their progress, help, and provide feedback.

At the end of each week, you will have a 1-on-1 meeting with your buddy, where you will receive feedback on your work in the company, the team, and your tasks. In turn, the team and buddy will give feedback on your work, praise your successes, and help adjust approaches if necessary.

What tasks await you

Selection team Responsible for the main page – from the list of restaurants and stores, their ranking, and various selections to advertising integrations, as well as filters, collections, banner communications, and pickup maps. This is the most important part of the applications because this is where the user's journey begins. We have a large backlog of product tasks planned to help users find the right dishes through ML mechanics and convenient UI/UX.

Order team Responsible for the process of accompanying the customer from order formation to awaiting delivery. We try to create the simplest and most understandable interface, but without losing quality and feature flexibility. Our global goal is to increase the conversion of assembled carts into real orders.

Post-order experience team The team's key task is to provide real-time tracking for hundreds of thousands of orders across several applications. This is the most loaded product service, which must respond to customers as quickly and stably as possible, while providing information from dozens of microservices with different response speeds and availability.

Growth team Responsible for increasing orders in the Yandex Food client application. We develop the discount and promo code platform, improve the flow of their display, develop gamification and non-monetary reward issuance, and also create new mechanics that will lead to new orders.
