About the role

This role is based in our Seattle office location. As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential. We’re constantly reimagining our industry, creating new products, and refining our processes, and we do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week. The base salary range for this role is $167,000- $230,000 per year.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years building production web applications, with strong ownership of features from design through launch and iteration
  • Deep frontend expertise in React and TypeScript : component architecture, hooks, state management, data fetching (React Query, Apollo/GraphQL), and building accessible, performant data-heavy UIs
  • Full-stack mindset — comfortable working across the stack: consuming and shaping API contracts, debugging data discrepancies with backend/analytics services
  • Experience with analytics or BI products — dashboards, reporting, metrics exploration, financial/operational reporting, or similar, bonus if you've built charting, filtering, or self-serve analytics experiences
  • Strong engineering fundamentals — ownership mindset, testing discipline, TypeScript rigor, and code review culture
  • Product sensibility — you care about restaurateur-facing UX, building trust through data, and collaborating with product and UX design on customer experiences
