About the role
Who you are
- You are a highly experienced engineer ready to translate strategic goals into elegant, production-ready code while leading technical strategy
- Extensive Expertise: 7+ years of professional software development experience in a collaborative team environment, with a significant track record in building and scaling large-scale frontend applications
- Code Mastery: Deep, expert-level proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, and React. You write code that is readable and maintainable, and you take the time to learn things you are working on that you don’t understand
- Strategic Architecture: Proven experience investing deeply in code architecture and driving multi-year technical roadmaps on large, established codebases. You excel at creating generic and reusable code
- Strategic Execution: Exceptional ability to drive large, cross-functional projects from the early planning stage all the way into production
- Communication and Collaboration: The ability to articulate complex technical trade-offs to product and design partners, as well as experience collaborating closely with designers (e.g., using Figma)
- Quality Champion: A passion for rigorous quality control and pixel-perfect design implementation through the use of both automated and manual testing as well as careful code reviews
- Ownership Mindset: You embrace full ownership over your systems and adopt modern tools (like AI helpers) to enhance efficiency, while maintaining rigorous standards for code quality and accuracy
What the job involves
- The Availability Planning & Experiences team builds the highly visible, mission-critical foundation where OpenTable’s thousands of global restaurant partners define their operational setup: setting shifts, defining schedules, optimizing table layouts, and creating unique dining events and Experiences
- This work is profoundly impactful. The features you build directly shape the experience of our top-tier restaurant partners, who frequently come to us with requests that influence our roadmap
- You won't just be building features; you'll be influencing the user experience and technical foundation of a product central to both OpenTable and our partners' success
- This role offers a unique mix of autonomy and ownership: you will have a real voice in both design and product decisions, ensuring we deliver powerful control without overwhelming complexity
- Your Role: Deep Technical Ownership and Execution
- As a Staff Frontend Engineer in Toronto, you will serve as a core technical leader and hands-on architect, responsible for tackling the most complex and ambiguous engineering challenges within the Availability Planning system
- Your primary contribution will be through deep, direct technical execution, system design, and the implementation of large-scale features
- Hands-On System Building: You will actively write and review mission-critical code in React, Redux, TypeScript, and JavaScript. This role requires continuous deep engagement with the codebase to drive performance and maintainability
- Architectural Ownership: Define and implement the technical vision for the Availability Planning system. You will own system design and execution, focusing on creating intuitive and scalable UI architectures that can manage immense complexity
- Frontend Mastery & Quality: Design and build elegant, reusable abstractions and an integrated layer between the UI and backend. You will set a high standard for quality, driving sophisticated testing strategies using React Testing Library, Jest, and Cypress
- Technical Elevation: Act as a force multiplier, elevating the coding standards and practices of the entire team through meticulous code reviews and mentorship
Benefits
- Work from (almost) anywhere - wherever you do your best work
- Mental health and well-being - company-paid therapy sessions through SpringHealth, company-paid subscription to HeadSpace, and company-wide weeks off a year so the whole team can recharge
- Generous parental leave
- Generous paid vacation + time off for your birthday
- Paid volunteer time
- Enriched learning and development opportunities - leadership development & access to thousands of on-demand e-learnings
