Job description

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

With millions of diners, 60,000+ restaurant partners and 25+ years of experience, OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), is an industry leader with a passion for helping restaurants thrive. Our world‑class technology empowers restaurants to focus on what matters most – their team, their guests, and their bottom line – while enabling diners to discover and book the perfect restaurant for every occasion.

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 team and its portfolio of metasearch brands. Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a thoughtful and curious Software Engineer II to join our growing engineering team in Toronto. This is an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact on our core product. You’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to build secure, scalable, and delightful payment experiences for both restaurants and diners around the world.

Our team values collaboration, continuous learning, and a friendly, supportive atmosphere. If you enjoy solving meaningful problems and are looking for a place to grow your skills alongside talented peers, we’d love to hear from you.

In this role, you will:

• Build and Innovate: Partner with senior engineers and product managers to design, develop, and evolve our systems. You'll take ownership of features throughout their entire lifecycle, from the initial idea to development, testing, and making improvements in production.
• Champion Code Quality: Contribute to a culture of excellence by writing code that is clear, tested, and easy for others to build upon. You’ll share your knowledge and elevate the team through helpful and constructive code reviews.
• Enhance Our Tools: Look for creative ways to improve our development experience, whether it's by enhancing our tools, boosting test coverage, or refining our code structure.
• Take Pride in Your Work: Help us ensure our systems are reliable and performant. You’ll use your curiosity to find automated ways to maintain production quality, working with monitoring and alerting tools to keep our services healthy.
• Connect and Collaborate: Act as a key communication link for your projects, keeping the team updated and proactively reaching out to clear roadblocks. We believe the best solutions come from working together.
• Grow Your Expertise: Become a go‑to person for at least one area of our codebase, developing a deep understanding that you can share with the team.

We’re excited about you if you have:

• A Solid Foundation: You have 2-5 years of professional experience developing with C# and the .NET framework (we use .NET 8+).
• API & Database Skills: You're comfortable building RESTful APIs and have worked with both relational (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases.
• Cloud Experience: You have experience with cloud platforms, preferably AWS. Familiarity with services like Amazon S3 for object storage or AWS Lambda for serverless functions is a strong plus.
• Modern DevOps Mindset: You have hands‑on experience with Docker and an interest in deploying applications on Kubernetes (K8s).
• An Eye for Quality: You appreciate the importance of observability and have some familiarity with monitoring tools (e.g., StatsD, Grafana, ELK stack).
• A Collaborative Spirit: You bring a positive, self‑starting attitude and enjoy working with others with flexibility and an open mind.
• Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent real‑world experience.

Benefits and Perks

• Generous paid vacation + time off for your birthday
• Focus on mental health and well‑being:
  • Company‑paid therapy sessions through SpringHealth
  • Company‑paid subscription to Headspace
  • Annual company‑wide week off a year - the whole team fully recharges (and returns without a pile‑up of work!)
• Paid parental leave
• Focus on your career growth:
  • Development Dollars
  • Leadership development
  • Access to thousands of on‑demand e‑learnings
• Travel Discounts
• Employee Resource Groups
• Private health and dental insurance
