Job Description

Senior Software Engineer At Nando’s, we’re building scalable, data‑driven solutions that keep our restaurants safe, compliant, and thriving every day. This is more than just code; it’s about creating technology that directly supports the people running our restaurants and the communities we serve.

The Safety & RMD Team

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Safety & Restaurant Master Database (RMD) team. We build two critical product lines:

• Safety and compliance systems that help restaurant teams report incidents and manage compliance.
• The Restaurant Master Database – the single source of truth for operational data that drives decision‑making across Nando’s.

Our team is collaborative, supportive, and passionate about building solutions that make a real impact. You’ll play a key role in shaping and delivering solutions, working side‑by‑side with product managers, data specialists, and restaurant teams to ensure we’re solving the right problems in the right way.

You’ll take end‑to‑end ownership of features from understanding the challenge through to implementation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. Along the way, you’ll be encouraged to share ideas, grow your skills, and develop your career in an environment where inclusion, teamwork, and progression are central to everything we do.

You’ll have clear opportunities to grow as an engineer and as a leader, with mentoring, training, and the space to take your career wherever you want it to go.

Key Responsibilities

• Designing, building, and improving event‑driven workflows using Cloud Functions and Pub/Sub, helping to shape the infrastructure via Terraform including our Firestore set‑up.
• Leading with technical excellence: shaping architectural decisions, championing TypeScript best practices, and nurturing a strong testing and observability culture.
• Supporting your teammates through pairing, code reviews, and mentoring, helping everyone grow together.

Qualifications

• Skilled in TypeScript across the stack (Node.js with Koa/Express and React or similar).
• Confident with databases (Firestore or other NoSQL) and infrastructure patterns (Terraform/IaC).
• Excited by ownership; you care about what happens after code is shipped and always want to improve what you build.
• Familiarity with observability practices like logging, tracing, and monitoring.

Inspired by our Southern African heritage, we know and celebrate the richness that diversity brings. We are proud of our culture of inclusion and collaboration, and we’ll support you with any reasonable adjustments you might need during the recruitment process.
