Lead Software Engineer

Who we are:

We make a web-based inventory and purchasing system used by independent restaurants, breweries and small food manufacturers. Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software. We started in 2005 and have grown to about 110 people.

We are adding a Lead Software Engineer to our Billing team. Our Billing team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling.

• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk

Requirements:

• 8+ years of professional software development experience
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
