About the job

The OpenTable for Restaurants (OT4R) platform connects hospitality partners worldwide to a network of over 25 million diners. In this role, you will build and evolve the mission-critical native iOS application that enables restaurant hosts, servers, managers, and owners to orchestrate shifts, manage table inventory, and scale their operations. You will tackle complex technical challenges ranging from high-performance local data synchronization to designing intuitive, high-density user interfaces. Collaborating closely with engineers, product managers, and designers, you will translate open-ended product goals into elegant, production-grade mobile experiences.

Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and ship robust, production-quality native iOS features that power day-to-day restaurant floor operations.
• Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to translate open-ended problem statements into validated technical requirements and UX implementations.
• Deconstruct multi-month engineering initiatives into phased, value-driven milestones, driving technical execution from concept through launch.
• Champion high software quality standards by writing comprehensive automated test suites, leading architecture reviews, and refining CI/CD pipelines.
• Leverage advanced iOS profiling and debugging tools to triage support escalations, resolve runtime anomalies, and optimize client performance.
• Mentor peer engineers, foster inclusive code review practices, and responsibly integrate modern AI-assisted workflows into day-to-day development.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a demonstrated track record of building and shipping native iOS applications using Swift in production.
• Deep technical expertise across modern iOS development frameworks, including SwiftUI, Swift Concurrency (Async/Await), Combine, and Core Data.
• Extensive hands-on experience debugging and profiling memory, latency, and layout performance using Instruments, LLDB, and standard iOS toolchains.
• Proven experience writing scalable, maintainable mobile code with automated unit and integration test coverage.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills with a track record of clearly evaluating and explaining technical trade-offs to product and design partners.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing complex B2B mobile applications characterized by high information density, dense domain logic, and state management challenges.
• Track record leading iOS release management lifecycles, including App Store submission, staged rollouts, feature flag management, and regression triage.
• Demonstrated background architecting foundational mobile layers, including networking protocols, offline caching, modular architectures, or design system components.
• Familiarity incorporating AI-assisted developer tools responsibly to accelerate code delivery, testing, and incident investigation.

The best connections happen face-to-face, whether you’re sitting down to dinner or having coffee with a coworker. That’s why OpenTable has adopted a hybrid workplace model. This role aligns with that approach, with an expectation of coming into the office two days a week—giving employees the best of both worlds: in-person collaboration and flexibility.

There are a variety of factors that go into determining a compensation range, including but not limited to external market benchmark data, geographic location, and years of experience sought/required.

We offer a competitive base salary and benefits including: health benefits; flexible spending account; retirement benefits; life insurance; paid time off (including PTO, paid sick leave, medical leave, bereavement leave, floating holidays and paid holidays); and parental leave benefits. This role is eligible to be considered for an annual bonus and equity grant.

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.
