What You’ll Work On

You will be a Senior Software Engineer working on the frontend on the Availability Planning and Experiences team. The Availability Planning system is the engine that powers our OpenTable for Restaurants product . It is where a Restaurant goes to define their schedule and shifts, as well as the placement of their tables; and it has a complex array of settings to control how those tables are utilized by their diners. As we keep adding more controls, we are always thinking about how we can ensure these controls interact with each other in sensible ways, and how we can give Restaurants precise control and power without making it too complex for them to use. We also enable Restaurants to create their own Experiences, providing an increasing number of ways in which Restaurants can define interesting and unique events for their customers to attend.

Our codebase uses JavaScript and TypeScript with the React and Redux frameworks. We make extensive use of testing using the React Testing library, Jest, and Cypress.

Requirements

• You have 5 or more years of full-time professional experience working in a team environment

• You have strong communication skills, especially the ability to represent the technical trade-offs between different potential solutions

• You write code that is readable and maintainable

• You are proficient in JavaScript, Node.js, and React. (Knowledge of TypeScript is a bonus.)

• You have experience implementing designs and collaborating with designers using tools like Figma

• You invest in the architecture of the code you are writing. You create abstractions; find opportunities to create generic and reusable code; and build an integration layer between the UI and backend systems, rather than putting everything directly in the UI layer.

• You show full ownership over the code you write, and you take the time to learn things you are working on which you don’t understand.

• You’ve worked on codebases that were several years old before you started working on them

• You are comfortable providing feedback to others via a code review process, and receiving feedback others have provided to you via this process

• You adopt emerging AI technologies like Copilot and ChatGPT to enhance your workflow, while also taking ownership of the results produced by these technologies and carefully checking them for accuracy.

Work Environment & Flexibility

At OpenTable, we pride ourselves on fostering a global and dynamic work environment. As a team member with us, you will benefit from a schedule tailored to accommodate a global workforce operating across multiple time zones. While the majority of your responsibilities may align with conventional business hours, there will be instances where you are expected to manage communications - via calls, Slack messages, or emails - outside of regular working hours to effectively collaborate with international colleagues, respond to restaurant partners, and/or address urgent matters. OpenTable will always abide by and consider local laws and regulations.
