Full Stack Software Engineer, City Storage Systems - US/CAN

Who we are 

At City Storage Systems, we’re building Infrastructure for Better Food. We help restaurateurs around the world succeed in online food delivery. Our goal is to make food more affordable, higher quality, and convenient for everyone. We’re changing the game for restaurateurs, whether they’re entrepreneurs opening their first restaurant or running your favorite global quick-service restaurant chains.

What you’ll do

We are looking for full stack Software Engineers to join the Growth team for an exciting new product. You will balance moving quickly with building sustainability for the future — contributing across web front-ends and existing (or new) backend systems. You will help build elegant products on world-class technologies that bring our experience to eaters, restaurants, and other customers. As a Software Engineer at CSS, you will develop innovative new features and experiences on a platform with a large and growing user base. You will also move quickly and meaningfully by building just the right amount to prove a concept, release it into production, get some feedback, and then iterate until we get it right. You will leverage open-source and proprietary technologies and use languages and tools including TypeScript, React, and GraphQL, as well as Java and Go, Kubernetes, and CockroachDB. Your role will encompass a diverse range of responsibilities, including: 

• Collaborate with Product Managers, Designers, and other engineers on the team to conceptualize and build new features for our growing customer base.
• Participate in and provide feedback during the UX and engineering design processes.
• Produce high-quality code by leading or contributing to large cross-functional projects that impact and drive business success.
• Actively own features and define their long-term health, keeping scalability at the forefront of technical designs.
• Assist our skilled operations and business teams in triaging and resolving production issues.
• Work with other engineers from various teams across verticals and review code.
• Build reusable components and libraries for integration across products and scale.
• Build in a dynamic environment leveraging Data-Driven Development, Agile Methodologies, and Continuous Improvement.
• Learn the product and bring forth ideas on how to make it better for our users and customers.

What we’re looking for

This is a full-stack position since our Growth team requires some flexibility, but we realize that not every candidate has a balanced set of front-end and backend skills. We encourage you to apply even if you are notably stronger with one or the other.

• 5+ years of industry software engineering experience across both backend and web front-end, developing and shipping applications using language(s) such as JavaScript or TypeScript on the frontend, and Java, Go, or other similar languages on the backend.
• Experience working with React or an equivalent modern UI framework.
• Familiarity with the full life cycle of shipping applications, from design and implementation to testing and deployment.
• Strong communicator who can explain complex topics to not only other engineers but also designers, product managers, and support.
• Strong frontend fundamentals: integration testing, design patterns, client-side storage, responsiveness, etc.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent training, fellowship, or work experience.
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment and an appreciation for problems requiring breadth.
• A love for good food.

At City Storage Systems, we believe innovation thrives on diversity. We encourage candidates from all walks of life, backgrounds, and experiences to apply. If you’re passionate about making an impact in the food delivery ecosystem and meet most of the qualifications listed, we want to hear from you!

Why join us

• Growing market: You’ll be focused on a part of a market that’s projected to reach at least $500 billion by 2030 in the US alone.
• Changing the restaurant industry: You’ll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery, and be on the forefront of helping our facilities scale.
• Collaborative environment: You will receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you to learn, grow, and achieve your goals, and you’ll work closely with other teams to ensure our customers’ success. Our company’s commitment to growing your Career of Substance includes regular written and verbal bidirectional feedback, clearly structured competencies, and opportunities to contribute to the team outside of your role’s primary responsibilities.

What else do you need to know

This role is based in our Los Angeles office location. We believe that people do their best work when they are together. As a company, we’re in the marketplace of ideas and innovation. When you’re constantly innovating, changing how an industry works, inventing new products and processes — and we are doing all these things — we believe we’re better as a team in person. That’s why all of our teams (except for our field-based roles) are now working from one of our office locations 5 days a week. Looking forward to sharing more about a Career of Substance at City Storage Systems.
