ezCater values technology as a differentiator and a key component of our success. It powers everything we do. As a key technical leader on our team, you’ll have the opportunity and responsibility to set the direction of our ordering systems for years to come, focusing your attention both on the capabilities of our orders platform and on the leverage these systems can provide to our products and our business. You’ll play a critical role in helping us power the best catering experiences on earth, from the second a customer submits their order to the moment the food is delivered, and beyond.

What You'll Do: 

• Build, lead, and mentor exceptional teams of software engineers, leading conversations, and cultivating execution and decision-making; all while delighting our customers and propelling our team of engineers to execute on projects.

• Leverage your technical expertise and communication skills to collaborate with product managers and other engineering teams in the organization to influence our systems and roadmaps.
• Operate with scale and speed determining the ideal development lifecycle, technical design, and approach for new and existing solutions.
• Instill best practices for software development while delivering high-quality work by fostering pragmatism and urgency.
• Contribute technically: Brainstorm with engineers, design solutions, and review PRs.
• Have fun building meaningful software with awesome people.

What You Have: 

• Ability to grow highly specialized engineers and/or full stack and assess how that affects team dynamics.
• A passion for building and growing high-performing teams, prior management experience, and a desire to be an impactful leader. 
• Prior experience with ordering systems would be a plus, ideally from an eCommerce and/or SAAS context.
• Proficiency in documenting processes and monitoring the performance metrics for our applications and systems.
• Extensive full-stack web development experience. Working knowledge of modern server-side and client-side frameworks. Ruby, Rails, and React would be a huge plus.
• Working knowledge of SQL and relational databases. Postgres? Even better.
• Flexible growth mindset, you’re willing to do what it takes to adapt your team and power them for success.
• Goal orientation and a record of success leading leaders and engineers.
• A desire to collaborate with strong engineers and engineering leaders to continually improve a mature engineering team. A sharp mind, a soft heart, and a large funny bone.
