Many employees are dedicated to one brand, but we all have the benefit of using each other’s strengths and insights. Together, we’re able to help people experience the world through dining and travel.

In this role:

The Platform Architecture team improves the engineering experience @OpenTable. We enable teams to build quality products faster by providing a proven software foundation, education, and architectural support. We tackle problems in platform, security, integrations, asynchronous applications, engineering experience, and governance.

Collaborate with engineers to help build features for restaurants and diners. As a Sr. Java  Engineer, you will help support our primary initiatives, propose improvements, partner within and outside of the team, and help chart a path forward for yourself, the application teams, and the platform at OpenTable.

About you:

You have always had a natural curiosity and a knack for solving problems. Problems are puzzles that need to be resolved. Patching symptoms feel uncomfortable and create aspirations to identify the root cause and fix it.

Your dialectical thinking helps to see the positive in conflicting solutions. Criticism of your designs is an opportunity to improve and you are quick to pivot in a direction you find mutually beneficial. 

You love to learn new things and strive to improve your engineering skills.  While something may work, you walk away wondering if there is a better way.  You are not shy about letting others know your thoughts and engaging with them to brainstorm additional options.

Finally, as a self-starter and a problem solver, you don’t wait for others to tell you what to do; instead, you jump in, think through the problem, formulate an option for a solution and bring in others for additional brainstorming ideas.

Does this describe you or your aspirations? If so, we want to talk with you!
