What the job involves

- We take pride in a neat codebase with automated tests and continuous integration, and encourage constant refactoring. We encourage new ideas and experimentation. No part of the code base is off limits
- Design and implement scalable, high-quality components and services that align with team and company goals
- Collaborate across teams to integrate and align development efforts, ensuring consistency and quality in shared components and APIs
- Contribute to technical decision-making, including solution design and architecture, with a focus on addressing technical debt, reliability, and system performance

Application process

- Here’s an easy way to think of it: You work for Olo in a practical sense, completing your assigned role. The EOR is your formal employer, meaning the EOR takes care of all the administrative and legal responsibilities for your employment
- In line with this arrangement, you maintain your day-to-day relationship with Olo, and Deel will be your point of contact for any job-related matters of your engagement
- Moreover, you’ll retain all the employment rights you typically have under local employment law when you’re hired through an EOR, and you will be eligible for private healthcare coverage in addition to being able to participate in all statutorily required benefits and pension programs
Our take
In recent years, there have been dramatic changes to the way the catering industry operates. The benefits of pandemic-imposed structures, such as digital ordering interfaces and delivery infrastructure, have outlived the reason they were brought on, as many restaurants have found these digital solutions provide both operational efficiency and additional revenue.
Olo provides all-in-one digital ordering and delivery platforms for restaurants, providing software interfaces for digital payments, menus and ordering, in addition to on-demand delivery. The platforms are provided in both mobile and web formats and facilitate both traditional and alternative ordering systems such as at kiosks, drive-thrus, and voice automated ordering. Whilst the company certainly faces competition from the variety of alternative digital ordering platforms for the catering industry, it stands out by providing an all-in-one solution, instead of focussing on just one area.
The company has partnered with catering giants such as Denny's and The Cheesecake Factory, whilst also providing affordable systems for small independent businesses. The latest addition to its offerings is the commercially available "Borderless" functionality, which has the potential to speed up and streamline payment at venues across Olo's network.
