Software Engineer, Growth Platform (Remote)
ezCater is the world’s largest online marketplace for catering – a $60+ billion market just in the U.S. Businesspeople use us to find and order great food for meetings and events; restaurants and caterers use us to grow their catering business. We’re backed by Insight Partners, Iconiq Capital, Wellington, Lightspeed, and GIC, and in early 2019 were valued at $1.25 billion. COVID slammed us, but we responded by finding new customer segments and seizing the rare opportunity COVID offered: when in life does a very successful operation get a do-over? Come help us power Food For Work even better than we did it the first time.
Are you excited about coding solutions, building features, and driving efficiency while working with an exceptional team? At ezCater we rely on our dynamic and skilled team of engineers to provide solutions that unlock potential and drive innovation in our rapidly evolving environment.
As we expand our team we’re seeking engineers that thrive in a forward-thinking organization and are passionate about building new products while committing quality code and deconstructing complexities. We are looking for smart, friendly, and collaborative technologists to help us reach our goals while delivering value and impact across our business.
We are growing our technology organization with an eye towards driving direct impact from our decade of catering data. The Growth Platform squad is a full-stack data team focused on connecting data and insights from our warehouse and data science models directly into both 1st and 3rd-party upstream systems. This team owns the full data lifecycle including modeling data in the ETL, implementing data quality and observability metrics, and building services to connect the data to wherever it needs to go, whether it be a marketing automation system or internal product use case. This is a super unique opportunity for anyone interested in working at the intersection of data, technology, and business operations, and a great chance to learn about how data directly drives business outcomes.
