What the job involves

As a Senior Frontend Engineer on the Availability Planning & Experiences team, you'll build the tools that power how restaurants run on OpenTable
Availability Planning is the engine behind OpenTable for Restaurants. It's where restaurants set their schedules, define shifts, arrange tables, and fine-tune how those tables can be booked. You'll work on challenging problems that balance precision and flexibility, giving restaurants powerful controls while keeping the experience intuitive
You'll also help shape our Experiences, which lets restaurants create unique events and offerings. You'll influence how restaurants design, manage, and showcase these experiences to guests

Our take

OpenTable was one of the earliest innovators in the online reservation space, setting up shop in 1998 as a tool to enable restaurants to take bookings online. Rather than charging consumers for the service, OpenTable generates revenue via a monthly subscription and reservation fee from businesses.

Today, the platform is used by tens of thousands of restaurants around the world and seats over 1 billion diners per year. The company was acquired by Booking Holdings – the world's largest travel company – for $2.6 billion in 2014, and remains a subsidiary of the group to this day.

OpenTable is the dominant player in the restaurant reservation software category, with an impressive 45% market share, but does face increasing competition from platforms like Resy, Tock, TableAgent, and many more. Nonetheless, this market leader has garnered an impressive reputation, and there is nothing to say it won't hold on to the dominance it has earned into the future.
