In order to do so, this team builds the framework and integrations to ingest orders data from global online food ordering services (OFOs) into the Otter ecosystem, and we manage the pipeline for all order financial data.

This team operates some of the highest-traffic-throughput services in the company, handling millions of customer orders per day across hundreds of integrations. We also maintain mechanisms to monitor data quality in our ecosystem, since our revenue data needs to be accurate and reliable. We believe that our team is only successful if we make restaurants more successful.

Strong communication and presentation skills. Ability to collaborate with non engineering stakeholders.
Experience in designing and implementing distributed systems that are scalable, reliable, and efficient.

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!
