The Self‑Service team builds product‑led experiences that let restaurant partners join, configure, and operate on ezCater through ezManage. Our mission is to grow the share of partner actions that are self‑serve, replacing manual handoffs with intuitive, reliable flows that scale our marketplace and improve partner outcomes.
As a software engineer on supplier self-service, you’ll design and ship end‑to‑end customer journeys—from onboarding to ongoing account and menu management—measuring impact with data and iterating quickly. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Analytics to deliver secure, high‑quality experiences, reduce operational toil across the business, and contribute to a modern web stack and engineering best practices.
What You'll Do:
- Build and ship partner‑facing features that allow restaurant partners to update menu items, prices, and availability in real time as part of the Menu Self‑Service initiative.
- Create polished, accessible UIs in React and TypeScript that make complex menu editing simple and fast.
- Add guardrails and automated validations to protect pricing integrity and overall menu quality.
- Collaborate with Product, Design, and Operations to scope, iterate, and launch MVPs and pilots.
What You Have:
- 2+ years building production UIs with React and TypeScript, using modern patterns (hooks, component composition) and strong UX sensibilities.
- 2+ years building backend services with Ruby on Rails, including Active Record, background jobs, and performance-minded SQL queries.
- Solid experience designing and consuming APIs (REST or GraphQL), plus working knowledge of relational SQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).
- A quality mindset: automated testing clean code, code reviews, and CI/CD basics.
- Practical experience using feature flags, telemetry, and safe rollout techniques to ship incrementally and de‑risk changes.
- Track record collaborating with Product and Design to turn ambiguous problems into iterative deliveries and measurable outcomes.
