Role
Who you are
- Fullstack experience on a product engineering team, ideally in Go or Ruby on Rails
- 5+ years of professional software development experience
- Deep knowledge of SQL / relational databases. Postgres? Even better
- Exposure to GraphQL and Kafka is an asset, but not a requirement
- Experience designing and building large-scale systems
- Extensive experience designing APIs and an understanding of API-first development
- Desire to work on a backend-heavy platform team
- An appetite for learning, experimentation, relentless curiosity and an ability to leverage what you learn to make our products better
- A friendly, flexible, and pragmatic disposition
What the job involves
- As we expand our team we’re seeking engineers that thrive in a forward-thinking organization and are passionate about building products that drive measurable impact, while committing quality code and deconstructing complexities
- We are looking for smart, thoughtful, collaborative technologists to help us reach our goals while delivering value and impact across our business
- A critical area for ezCater’s growth over the coming years will be solidifying the current menu capabilities and building the next features which will service the full spectrum of our customer’s food needs
- As a member of our Menus Core Services (MCS) team, you will play a pivotal role designing and building the foundation for these menus systems
- This is a high visibility team at the center of ezCater’s core services initiatives
- Additionally, you will partner with teams across the organization to fuel new functionality, improved customer experiences and partner integrations
- Bring your knowledge of distributed systems to build highly-scalable, fault-tolerant systems in a hybrid monolithic/microservices architecture
- Partner with our data technology organization to enable detailed insight into our menus, unlocking future roadmap opportunities across the org
- Work cross-functionally with product managers and business stakeholders to understand the complex processes that drive order fulfillment
- Make an impact working on projects that will drive growth, profitability, and customer satisfaction across ezCater
- Improve performance at every chance you get (we believe speed itself is a feature)
- Partner with fulfillment and customer care teams to improve the experience for customers, catering partners, delivery drivers, and customer support agents
- Have fun building meaningful software with awesome people
Application process
- Please have fun with the Cover Letter portion of the application! It does not need to follow “traditional” cover letter guidelines - we would love for you to write 150-500 words explaining why you are interested in ezCater and the role, and highlighting anything else you think we should know!
Our take
ezCater is an online marketplace app that provides catering options for businesses, working with food providers who enter their menus onto the app for customers to browse. ezCater sends each store its orders and handles customer service while the food providers fulfil the orders.
ezCater profits by charging a small commission on all orders that restaurants fulfil. The company counts JLL, RingCentral and the San Francisco 49ers among its customers. It previously fuelled expansion through acquisitions such as online catering platform GoCater in 2018 and MonkeySoft Solutions in 2019.
ezCater has enjoyed strong growth so far, in part by focusing on meal deliveries to a growing hybrid workforce as an employee benefit. It has been eyeing an IPO for some time, though these plans are yet to come to fruition. In the meantime, it has continued to develop its technology and unveiled a new supplier diversity program to uplift small businesses owned by underrepresented groups.
