Job description

This will be a remote role to start, with plans to transition to hybrid 2x/week in office, likely in downtown Toronto, Canada.

With millions of diners, tens of thousands of restaurants, and 25+ years of experience, OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), is an industry leader with a unique insight into the world of hospitality. We champion restaurants, bars, wineries, and other venues around the world, helping them attract guests, manage capacity, improve operations and maximize revenue.

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 network that includes OpenTable and KAYAK's portfolio of travel brands including Swoodoo, checkfelix, momondo, Cheapflights, Mundi and HotelsCombined.

Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture. You’ll work in a welcoming and inclusive environment, and get the benefits, flexibility, and support you need to succeed.

At OpenTable, we take pleasure in Software Development. We believe that velocity comes from a commitment to clean code and solid engineering principles. We deliver innovative products through rapid, continuous development. Millions of diners and thousands of restaurants around the globe use our products. If you are excited by constantly meaningful engineering processes and can deliver exceptional quality in a fast-paced, agile environment, please apply! Bonus points if you love restaurants too.

The Opportunity:

We're seeking a Senior Frontend Engineer to work on the Availability Planning and Experiences team. The Availability Planning system is the engine that powers our OpenTable for Restaurants product. It is where a Restaurant goes to define their schedule and shifts, as well as the placement of their tables; and it has a complex array of settings to control how those tables are used by their diners. As we keep adding more controls, we are always thinking about how we can ensure these controls interact with each other in sensible ways, and how we can give Restaurants precise control and power without making it too complex for them to use. We also enable Restaurants to create their own Experiences, providing an increasing number of ways in which Restaurants can define interesting and unique events for their customers to attend.

Please apply if you:

• Have 5+ years of full-time professional experience working in a team environment.
• Possess strong communication skills, especially the ability to represent the technical trade-offs between different potential solutions.
• Can drive projects from technical planning to production.
• Write code that is readable and maintainable.
• Carefully test work for bugs while ensuring consistency with requirements and design, and can build automated tests as well as understand how to use them properly.
• Have experience implementing designs and collaborating with designers using tools like Figma.
• Invest in the architecture of the code being written. Create abstractions; find opportunities to create generic and reusable code; and build an integration layer between the UI and backend systems, rather than putting everything directly in the UI layer.
• Show full ownership over the code written, and take the time to learn things being worked on that are not understood.
• Have worked on codebases that were several years old before starting to work on them. Comfortable providing feedback to others via a code review process, and receiving feedback others have provided via this process.
• Adopt emerging AI technologies like Copilot and ChatGPT to enhance workflow, while also taking ownership of the results produced by these technologies and carefully checking them for accuracy."
• Paid Time Off - 20 days a year
• Birthday/celebration PTO - 1 day
• Annual company weeks off
• Flexible sick time off
• Parental Leave Benefits
• Life & Disability Insurance
• Group RRSP and DPSP
• Major Medical Insurance (dependent care options
