Job summary

ATOMS is hiring a Software Engineer for the Otter Customer Lifecycle team in Mountain View to build the merchant platform and the services that move restaurants from signup to serving orders.

You'll own end-to-end services, design onboarding, enable self-serve growth, and ensure reliability and performance in production. This onsite role offers a competitive base salary and comprehensive benefits.

Qualifications

• Proficiency in Java or Go, writing production backend services.
• Solid foundation in distributed systems, microservices, and API design (gRPC and/or REST).
• Experience with databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, CockroachDB) and writing performant queries.
• Experience designing data models and core domain objects that other teams build on top of.

Responsibilities

• Build and own the merchant platform: the core services and data models behind stores, facilities, brands, and the entitlement-driven configuration that determines what each merchant can access.
• Design onboarding services that take a new restaurant from signup to live and serving orders, reliably and without manual intervention.
• Build the backend for self-serve growth — signup, activation, and conversion flows that let restaurants adopt Otter without touching a salesperson.
• Design offboarding and lifecycle cleanup so that when a merchant leaves, the systems behind them shut down cleanly instead of quietly running and costing money.
• Own your services end-to-end: design, build, instrument, debug, and improve reliability and performance.
