You report to an Engineering Manager who is invested in your growth, gives you real feedback, and creates the conditions for you to do your best work.

We’re building an inclusive work environment that is representative of the diverse industry we have the pleasure of serving, and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.

What you’ll do:

• Design, build, and maintain resilient and scalable backend services, APIs, and user-facing features
• Use AI-assisted development tools as an active part of your workflow, generating, reviewing, and validating output with the same rigour you’d apply to any production code
• Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, product managers, and designers to translate complex problems into elegant and practical solutions
• Enhance the reliability and performance of our systems through thoughtful code reviews, architectural improvements, and strategic refactoring
• Take ownership of production issues, leading the investigation and resolution of bugs and customer-reported problems
• Contribute to our engineering culture by actively participating in technical discussions and consistently improving our team’s processes and standards
• Drive projects from concept to completion, making pragmatic technical decisions and consistently delivering value to our users

What you bring:

• A degree or diploma in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 2+ years of professional experience building, deploying, and maintaining web applications and services in a team environment
• Proficiency in modern web development, including experience with a backend programming language and a solid understanding of relational databases
• A proven track record of shipping high-quality code, demonstrating a strong sense of ownership and the ability to see features through the full software development lifecycle
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly and contribute effectively to team discussions
• A proactive and autonomous work ethic, knowing how to navigate ambiguity, manage your priorities, and make sound technical trade-offs
• Experience in leveraging AI development tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude)
• A customer-focused mindset and a genuine passion for building products that solve real-world problems

It’d be even cooler if you had:

• Experience in restaurant-tech, delivering customer-focused solutions
