What the job involves
- As a Senior Backend Developer at Deliverect in our Belgium office, you will be a vital contributor to our technology-driven mission of transforming the food service industry
- You will design, develop, and maintain backend services that streamline operations for restaurants, enabling them to manage orders from multiple channels efficiently
- Your expertise will ensure our platform remains scalable, reliable, and capable of handling high volumes of concurrent requests and data processing
- Join us in driving innovation and delivering seamless solutions that empower restaurants to thrive in the digital age

- Implement robust testing strategies, including unit tests and integration tests, to ensure the quality and stability of backend services

Our take
Restaurants typically work with a number of suppliers, but this can be hard to manage with antiquated and fragmented systems. Deliverect provides a way for companies to integrate online orders into their POS, streamlining the disparate aspects of food service and delivery onto one single platform.
Deliverect has over 10,000 customers, from household name like KFC and Taco Bell to younger restaurant chains like Dishoom. As one of many trying to capitalise on the rise in online food delivery, competition is hot. Deliverect has responded to this by constantly evolving and exploring migration into other sectors of hospitality.
This evolution has seen Deliverect invest in enhancing its services with more physical point of sale terminals and third-party service providers, as well as expanding into in-store management. It also acquired ChatFood, a leader in social media ordering, to solidify its already strong position.
