Android Engineer, Senior
Are you looking for an opportunity to build Android applications that connect thousands of users to local restaurants every day? Do you love the challenge of streamlining restaurant operations?
If collaborating with different teams to iterate on the products you are contributing to is your thing, then we might have the perfect opportunity for you.
Our Product and Technology
ChowNow’s mobile applications are built in Kotlin & Swift with Gradle and Cocoapods as our dependencies managers. We monitor our apps with Fabric, Embrace IO and New Relic. Our designers work with Figma, they deliver and collaborate with the team via Zeplin. Our RESTful APIs are powered by Python, MySQL, and Redis supported by infrastructure-as-code environments on Amazon Web Services.
About the Position:
We are looking to expand our mobile team with a Senior Android engineer who will love building user-centered, reliable mobile experiences. ChowNow is building an ecosystem that helps local restaurants find new customers, consolidate their brand and improve their operations. You will have a deep impact on our platform and team by influencing technology choices and supporting leadership in decision making on ChowNow’s marketplace and white label applications. You will join our growing product team where you will collaborate to solve complex problems with a “quality product first” approach. You will be involved from design to delivery of new features and be responsible for measuring the success of the product
About the Team:
ChowNow is unique among tech startups in the restaurant space. We power branded online ordering systems for independent restaurants across North America – via websites, Google, Instagram, and through branded iOS and Android apps – and we do it all for a reasonable monthly fee regardless of order volume. We operate this way because of our belief in being fair, sustainable, and equitable with our restaurant partners. And the same goes for our workplace.
Diversity, teamwork, and mutual respect are among our core company values. And we pride ourselves on giving our teams plenty of opportunities to make their mark. To date we’ve created over 20,000 apps for our restaurant partners – something that’s never been done before in our category. And as we expand to new markets, further spreading the word about the ChowNow difference, those opportunities to create, build, and grow will only increase. If this sounds like the kind of workplace, and the kind of mission, that appeals to you, we’d love to talk.
Together we can preserve neighborhood flavor, one restaurant at a time.
