At City Storage Systems, we're building Infrastructure for Better Food. We help restaurateurs around the world succeed in online food delivery. Our goal is to make food more affordable, higher quality and convenient for everyone. We're changing the game for restaurateurs, whether they’re entrepreneurs opening their first restaurant all the way through to your favorite global quick-service restaurant chains.

What you’ll do

We are looking for Backend Software Engineers to build elegant products on world-class technologies that bring our experience to millions of restaurateurs, anytime and anywhere. As a Backend Software Engineer at CSS, you will solve hard problems in distributed systems, workflows, compilers, big data, query optimization, storage, networking, or more. You will leverage open-source and proprietary technologies and use languages including Java, Python, Go, and more. You will build and operate services with world-class availability, performance, and scalability. Your role will encompass a diverse range of responsibilities, including: 

• Produce high-quality code by leading or contributing to large cross-functional projects that impact and drive business success.
• Actively own features or systems and define their long-term health, keeping scalability at the forefront of technical designs. 
• Assist our skilled operations and business teams in triaging and resolving production issues. 
• Work with other engineers from various teams across verticals and review code. 
• Improve our engineering standards, tooling, and processes. 
• Build in a dynamic environment leveraging Data-Driven Development, Agile Methodologies, and Continuous Improvement.

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of industry software engineering experience developing and operating complex systems using common language(s) such as Java, Go, C++, Python.

• Experience working with distributed systems and making technical architecture decisions.
• Familiarity with the full life cycle of software development, from design and implementation to testing and deployment.
• Strong communicator who can explain complex topics to not only other engineers but also designers, product managers, and support.
• Strong computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, threading, distributed systems, information retrieval, etc.
• 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

• Growing market: You’ll be focused on an $80 billion market that’s projected to reach at least $500 billion by 2030 in the US alone. 
• Changing the restaurant industry: You’ll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery. 
• Collaborative environment: You will receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you to learn, grow and achieve your goals, and you’ll work closely with other teams to ensure our customer’s success.

What else you need to know 

This role is based in our Seattle 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 City Storage Systems.
