As the Staff Engineer of the marketplace frontend experience, you'll establish architectural and coding standards for ezCater's customer-facing touchpoints and frontend platforms to enable teams to build innovative customer solutions. As a technical leader, you'll leverage deep experience building scalable software solutions to meet ezCater's technology and business goals.

Beyond technical leadership, you'll help to grow our engineering organization through mentorship and coaching, establishing and implementing technical standards, and contributing to an inclusive, transparent culture.

What You'll Do:

• Define and evangelize architectural standards and best practices for ezCater’s marketplace frontend experience to enable velocity, scalability, and consistency.
• Work with internal stakeholders, including Principal Engineers, other Staff Engineers, Product Managers, Product Analysts and Design, to evolve ezCater’s frontend systems to meet business needs and handle increasing scale.
• Decompose complex problems, design technical solutions, and navigate critical decisions by balancing software best practices, system realities, and stakeholder concerns.
• Elevate software quality, frontend architecture, and expectations of what's achievable within the engineering organization.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to teammates across the organization while fostering a culture of learning and collaboration.

What You Have:

• 7+ years of professional development experience, with strong expertise in React.
• 4+ years of professional React experience.
• Proven track record of evangelizing, standardizing, and building frontend design patterns and addressing systemic technical impediments.
• Passion for developing exceptional user experience and expertise collaborating with cross-functional partners to drive product direction.
• High standards for software quality and a framework for improving quality within teams and codebases.
• Experience mentoring engineers and working with business stakeholders to define technology roadmaps.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with a commitment to quality documentation.
• Eagerness to give and receive feedback in a collaborative learning environment.
• Friendly, flexible and pragmatic approach to work.

Preferred:

• Experience working on digital storefronts.
• Experience with TypeScript, GraphQL, and Next.js.
• Experience with Ruby on Rails or equivalent.
• Experience with Native technologies.
