About Us
Openr is transforming how the hospitality industry manages and shares data. By centralising recipe, product, and pricing
information, we help hospitality businesses connect to platforms like Deliveroo and Just Eat, as well as EPOS and other customer
touch points.
We've recently closed a significant funding round and are backed by Azzurri Group, one of the UK's most successful hospitality
investment platforms. With strong market traction, we're growing our engineering team.
About the Role
We're looking for a senior engineer to join our small, collaborative engineering team. This is a hands-on role where you'll be
designing and building the systems that power our platform, while helping set the technical direction for how we grow.
You'll be a go-to person for architectural decisions and a mentor to the engineers around you. We're after someone who's as
comfortable pairing with a junior developer as they are making calls on system design. You don't need to have used every part of
our stack. What matters most is that you're experienced, pick things up quickly, and enjoy getting stuck into hard problems.
What You'll Be Working With
Our stack includes TypeScript, React, and React Query on the frontend, with AWS Lambda, Node.js, and PostgreSQL on the backend,
running on AWS cloud infrastructure. You'll work across both sides of the stack, so comfort in either direction matters.
We care more about how you think and approach problems than whether you've used every tool in this list before.
What You'll Be Doing
Technical Leadership
You'll play a key role in shaping how we build things. That means owning architectural decisions, identifying the right trade-offs
between speed and sustainability, and making sure our systems are reliable and performant. You'll contribute to our product
roadmap from a technical perspective and help the team navigate complex dependencies and risks.
Building
This isn't a role where you stop writing code. You'll be hands-on daily, delivering high-quality solutions across the stack,
improving our development workflows, and tackling the harder problems that come with a growing platform.
Growing the Team
You'll mentor engineers across the team, helping them develop their skills and confidence. You'll also be involved in recruitment,
from screening candidates and reviewing code challenges to helping shape how we onboard new joiners.
Communicating
You'll regularly translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders. Being able to explain the "why" behind decisions
clearly and calmly is a big part of this role.
What We're Looking For
We're more interested in how you approach problems than how long you've been doing it.
What We Offer
Flexible hybrid working. Two days a week in our Central London office in Farringdon, the rest from wherever works for you.
No out-of-hours support. We believe great work happens when people have balance.
Real influence. You'll have direct input into architectural decisions and the technical direction of a growing SaaS platform.
A learning culture. Dedicated time and support for developing new skills, working with modern cloud-native technologies.
A collaborative team. We genuinely enjoy working together and supporting each other's growth.
Benefits
We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. If you're excited about this role but don't tick every box, we'd still
love to hear from you. Curiosity and a desire to learn matter more to us than a perfect checklist.
