Staff Software Engineer - Orders Platform

About the role

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Software Engineer - Orders Platform based in United States .

We are seeking an experienced Staff Software Engineer to help shape and scale a mission-critical ordering platform that powers restaurant operations. In this high-ownership role, you will drive the architecture and evolution of distributed systems designed to process, synchronize, and reconcile orders reliably, even during network outages or partial system failures. You will work with advanced engineering patterns such as event sourcing, conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs), and offline-first data architectures. Collaborating across Engineering, Product, Payments, and Reporting, you will deliver resilient end-to-end ordering experiences across web, mobile, and point-of-sale environments. You will serve as a technical anchor for the team, influencing architectural decisions while remaining deeply hands-on with implementation. This remote-first opportunity offers the chance to solve complex technical challenges in a fast-growing technology environment.

Accountabilities -

Act as a technical architect within the Orders Platform team, defining and evolving how order data is modeled, stored, replicated, synchronized, and reconciled.

-

Design, build, and maintain event-sourced and replicated-state systems that remain reliable under retries, network partitions, concurrent updates, and partial failures.

-

Strengthen the platform's offline-first architecture, ensuring restaurant ordering and point-of-sale workflows continue operating reliably even when connectivity is interrupted.

-

Develop robust mechanisms for idempotency, optimistic concurrency, event replay, projections, conflict resolution, and data reconciliation.

-

Partner closely with Product, Payments, Reporting, and engineering teams responsible for point-of-sale and mobile experiences to deliver reliable ordering flows end to end.

-

Lead technical design discussions, review architecture and code, and establish engineering standards that improve system correctness, scalability, and maintainability.

-

Mentor and support engineers, helping the team develop deeper expertise in distributed systems and the platform's core architectural patterns.

-

Improve observability, replay, and recovery capabilities so that order-state issues can be identified, investigated, and resolved quickly and cost-effectively.

-

Reduce dependency on individual team members by documenting architectural decisions, sharing technical context, and making complex platform behavior easier to understand.

-

Build familiarity with specialized technologies and continuously improve their reliability as the platform and engineering organization scale.
