About Opentable

With millions of diners, 60,000+ restaurant partners and 25+ years of experience, OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), is an industry leader with a passion for helping restaurants thrive. Our world-class technology empowers restaurants to focus on what matters most – their team, their guests, and their bottom line – while enabling diners to discover and book the perfect restaurant for every occasion. 

Every employee at OpenTable has a tangible impact on what we do and how we do it. You’ll also be part of a global team and its portfolio of metasearch brands. Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture.


About the role

OpenTable is looking for a Senior Software Engineer Backend to join the rapidly-growing Restaurant Platform Team in India and help maintain our event-based architecture, data warehouse, data pipelines, reports & insights and APIs. This is a hands-on technical role with a dash of leadership and strategy.

You'll be a key member of a multi-functional team that builds and designs OpenTable’s core reporting insights platform for restaurants globally and will have a substantial impact and involvement on some key enterprise strategies and initiatives. We are passionate about building small, independent product development teams – product managers, designers and engineers working together and empowered to make their own decisions.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for technical and architectural decisions to ensure our platforms are scalable, highly available, reliable and have a high performance, especially under peak traffic spikes.


About you

An ideal candidate should be an expert in Java and Spring Framework and extra points if you have experience with the technologies behind big data, data pipelines, data warehousing, analytics and designing event-driven, data-intensive architectures.

We don't believe in checklists, so please apply if some of the following describe you.

  • You consider yourself an expert in Java, Spring framework and Spring Boot, and Hibernate.
  • You have the battle scars from years of working with large-scale, distributed, service-oriented and event-driven architectures and systems, and understand the core principles around observability & monitoring, performance, high availability, scalability, reliability and security.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills - you enjoy working with engineers, designers and product owners.
  • Good understanding of writing complex SQL queries on tables with hundreds of millions of records and getting results back in sub-second.
  • Experience in several database technologies (e.g. RDBMS like MySQL or Postgres and NoSQL like MongoDB or Cassandra). A really deep understanding of PostgreSQL and ability to confidently fine-tune things under the hood is going to give you a competitive edge.
  • You understand the best ways to build data pipelines to support real time data ingestion and aggregation of millions of events, and can build simple solutions to complex requirements.
  • Experience with Docker / Kubernetes, and message buses like Kafka.
  • You are calm during incidents when debugging production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack. 
  • You are a life-long student with a self-motivated desire to build and share your knowledge and skill; you have the ability and desire to mentor as well as be mentored. 
  • You are a dedicated professional who forms opinions and enjoys discussion yet remains personable and approachable.

To truly blow us away you might also have

  • Knowledge of system performance and operational readiness monitoring.
  • Experience collaborating with remote teams across time zones.
  • Experience working as a full-stack engineer will be an added advantage.
  • Simple intuitive design for complex architectural problems.
  • Resiliency patterns like bulkheads, circuit breakers, fallbacks, and load shedding.


Benefits and Perks

  • Work from (almost) anywhere for up to 20 days per year
  • Focus on mental health and well-being:
    • Company-paid therapy sessions through SpringHealth
    • Company-paid subscription to Headspace
    • Annual company-wide week off a year - the whole team fully recharges (and returns without a pile-up of work!)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Generous paid vacation + time off for your birthday
  • Paid volunteer time
  • Focus on your career growth:
    • Development Dollars
    • Leadership development
    • Access to thousands of on-demand e-learnings
  • Travel Discounts
  • Employee Resource Groups
  • Quarterly team offsites
  • Tax optimisation options
  • Generous health insurance
  • Pension fund

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.

Inclusion

We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong and can thrive. We know the best ideas come when we bring different voices to the table, so we're building a team as dynamic as the diners and restaurants we serve—and fostering a culture where everyone feels welcome to be themselves.

If you need accommodations during the application or interview process, or on the job, we’re here to support you. Please reach out to your recruiter to request any accommodations.
