The company makes it easy for any organization to manage its food needs and order from over 125,000 restaurants nationwide. For workplaces, ezCater provides flexible and scalable solutions for everything from employee meal programs to one-off meetings, all backed by 24/7 service and business-grade reliability. For restaurant partners, ezCater helps grow their business by bringing them new high-value customers and large orders.</span></p></div><p style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Restaurant partners are the lifeblood of the ezCater marketplace — and the experience we deliver to them directly determines our ability to attract, retain, and grow supply on our platform. We're reimagining what it means to be a restaurant partner on ezCater, and we're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical vision for that transformation.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As the Staff Software Engineer for our Restaurant Partner Experience, you will own the architectural direction of the frontend systems that power how our partners discover, onboard, manage, and grow their business on ezCater — including the partner portal and order management tooling used by thousands of restaurant operators every day. A key early focus will be establishing the frontend architecture for in-product business intelligence tooling, bringing AI-enabled reporting and data insights directly to restaurant partners within the partner portal. You will partner closely with Product, Design, and peer engineering leaders to shape what a best-in-class partner experience looks like, and you'll set the engineering standards to make that possible.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You'll report to the Senior Engineering Manager within the ezCater Restaurant Partner Experience organization.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>What You'll Do</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lead the technical vision for reimagining the partner experience — from onboarding and menu management to order fulfillment tooling and marketing programs — ensuring our restaurant partners have the tools they need to succeed on our platform.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Champion AI-native frontend development practices — including design-to-code workflows (e.g., Figma, Claude Design, v0), AI-assisted development grounded in organizational context, and machine-readable frontend interfaces that serve both human users and AI agents.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Partner with our Front End Core team to define and evangelize frontend architectural standards — spanning micro-frontend composition strategies, monorepo structure, shared design system governance, and CI/CD — enabling velocity, scalability, and consistency across the teams that build on this foundation.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Work with internal stakeholders — including Principal Engineers, other Staff Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers — to evolve ezCater's partner-facing frontend systems to meet the needs of a growing and diverse restaurant partner network.</span></li> <li style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Establish the frontend architecture for in-product business intelligence and reporting capabilities within the partner portal, enabling restaurant partners to access clear, actionable data insights about their business directly in the platform.
