As a result, our digital ordering, payment, and guest engagement solutions enable hospitality at scale, helping brands to do more with less, and making every guest feel like a regular.

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. We are looking for a full stack engineer with front end and UI experience to design, develop, scale, and monitor solutions, improvements, and services in our core ordering platform.

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.

This position is fully remote and allows you to work from anywhere within the United Kingdom. The primary shift time for this role will be 2pm-11pm GMT Monday-Friday.

You will be contracted to Olo through Deel, our Employer of Record. An Employer of Record (EOR) is an organization hired by companies to handle the legal and administrative responsibilities of employing staff, often in countries where the company might not have a local presence.  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.

• 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.

• Collaborate across teams to integrate and align development efforts, ensuring consistency and quality in shared components and APIs.
