Staff Software Engineer, Restaurant Experience (Remote)

Boston, MA

EzCater is the #1 food tech platform for workplaces in the US. The company makes it easy for any organization to manage its food needs and order from over 125,000 restaurants nationwide. For workplaces, ez Cater provides flexible and scalable solutions for everything from employee meal programs to one-off meetings, all backed by 24/7 service and business-grade reliability. For restaurant partners, ez Cater helps grow their business by bringing them new high-value customers and large orders.

Restaurant partners are the lifeblood of the ez Cater marketplace — and the experience we deliver to them directly determines our ability to attract, retain, and grow supply on our platform. We're reimagining what it means to be a restaurant partner on ez Cater, and we're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical vision for that transformation.

As the Staff Software Engineer for our Restaurant Partner Experience, you will own the architectural direction of the frontend systems that power how our partners discover, onboard, manage, and grow their business on ez Cater — including the partner portal and order management tooling used by thousands of restaurant operators every day. A key early focus will be establishing the frontend architecture for in-product business intelligence tooling, bringing AI-enabled reporting and data insights directly to restaurant partners within the partner portal.

You will partner closely with Product, Design, and peer engineering leaders to shape what a best-in-class partner experience looks like, and you'll set the engineering standards to make that possible.

You'll report to the Senior Engineering Manager within the ez Cater Restaurant Partner Experience organization.

• 8+ years of professional development experience, with deep expertise in React, Next.js (App Router), and Type Script across complex, production-grade frontend systems.
• 4+ years of production React experience, with working knowledge of micro-frontend architecture patterns (e.g., Islands architecture, module federation, or edge-side composition).
• Proven track record of evangelizing and standardizing frontend architecture — including design systems, monorepo tooling, and micro-frontend boundaries — while addressing systemic technical impediments at scale.
• Passion for building exceptional user experiences and expertise in collaborating with cross-functional partners — including Product, Design, and Research — to…
