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.

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.

What you'll do

• Lead the development, architecture, and maintenance of real-time streaming pipelines with Apache Flink, Kafka, and related tools to ensure low-latency, reliable data delivery.
• Implement data quality strategies, including dynamic filtering, checkpointing, and auto-healing for robust, consistent pipelines.
• Support and operate real-time data infrastructure, internal tooling, and monitoring systems for pipeline health and performance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and analytics teams to address data needs and feature requests.
