Frontend Software Engineer, Otter - Los Angeles

Who we are 

In the past, to be a successful restaurateur, you simply had to have a passion for food and a passion for people - but to succeed as a digital restaurateur you also need to have a passion for technology. We believe in the joy of serving others, and that's why we created Otter – to help restaurateurs  succeed in online food delivery. Restaurants around the world, both large and small, including Chick-fil-A, Ben & Jerry’s, KFC, and Eataly trust our software to power their delivery business. We increase sales, reduce order issues, and decrease delivery headaches.

As a Software Engineer at Otter,  you'll be an integral part of our data-driven development team, contributing to the evolution of cutting-edge internal tools. Your role will encompass a diverse range of responsibilities, including: 

• Collaborate cross-functionally to develop new features for our growing customer base.
• Provide feedback, contribute to the design process to create appealing UI, and lead or contribute to large projects to produce high-quality, impactful code.
• Own feature development and prioritize scalability in technical designs for long-term health.
• Support operations and business teams in resolving production issues and promote code review and reuse across products.
• Develop reusable components and libraries for integration across products, scaling in a dynamic environment using Data-Driven Development, Agile Methodologies, and Continuous Improvement.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field, or equivalent training, fellowship, or work experience. 
• A love for good food. 

Why join us

• Early-stage company: Join one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies revolutionizing the food industry

What else you need to know

This role is based in our Los Angeles office location. We believe that people do their best work when they are together. As a company, we’re in the marketplace of ideas and innovation. When you’re constantly innovating, changing how an industry works, inventing new products and processes - and we are doing all these things - we believe we’re better as a team in person. That’s why all of our teams (except for our field-based roles) are now working from one of our office locations 5 days a week. Looking forward to sharing more about a Career of Substance at Otter!
