- 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 to participate in all statutorily required benefits and pension programs
- As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a significant and visible role in helping us scale one of the most advanced food ordering platforms in the market

- The primary shift time for this role will be 2pm-11pm GMT Monday-Friday
- Demonstrate proficiency in the team's domain and technology stack, providing guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and contributing to technical decision-making
- Take ownership of complex features and projects, working independently and collaborating with team members to drive development from concept to delivery
- Lead code reviews, set quality standards, and offer in-depth feedback to improve code quality across the team
- Partner with Product and other stakeholders to refine requirements, ensuring solutions are well-architected and aligned with business goals
- Deliver reliable, maintainable software solutions and actively implement performance optimizations and resilience mechanisms
- Monitor and maintain services in production, diagnosing and resolving critical issues efficiently with minimal support
- Participate in the architecture and design of distributed systems, ensuring best practices are followed for reliability and scalability
- Take the initiative to improve the team's development processes and tooling, advocating for best practices and automation improvements
- Collaborate across teams to integrate and align development efforts, ensuring consistency and quality in shared components and APIs
- Contribute actively to the team's knowledge base, lead learning sessions, and promote a culture of continuous improvement
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.
