Engineering Manager, Otter - Mountain View, CA

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. We believe in the joy of serving others, and that's why we created Otter – to help restaurateurs succeed in online food delivery. 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, direct, coach, and review the work of software engineering personnel to accomplish near-term and long-term operational plans and results.
• Maintain strong, cohesive relationships with business leaders and PMs for the lifecycle of products from inception to launch.
• Analyze product requirements, break them down into actionable tasks, and develop comprehensive work plans that outline the necessary resources, milestones, and timelines.
• Provide accurate project estimations, considering various factors such as team capacity, skills, and potential risks. 

What we’re looking for

• 8+ years of total software engineering experience.
• 3+ years of leadership experience.
• Demonstrated ability to make strategic decisions, balancing immediate needs with long-term objectives.
• The ability to allocate resources effectively to maintain a balance between workload distribution and team productivity is crucial.

Why join us

• Growing market: You’ll be focused on an $80 billion market 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 Mountain View 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 Otter!
