• Improve observability, event replay, and reconciliation so teams can find and resolve order‑state issues efficiently.
• Review designs and code, mentor engineers, and document platform behavior to spread knowledge across the team.
• Work with restaurant operators to understand and address practical needs, including through direct communication or visits.

Requirements

• Staff‑level experience setting technical direction while remaining actively involved in implementation.
• Hands‑on experience with event sourcing, CRDTs, or comparable replicated and offline‑first systems.
• Strong understanding of idempotency, optimistic concurrency, replay, projections, and reconciliation.
• Ability to design for partial failures, such as a device or service disappearing mid‑operation.
• Skill in learning specialized technologies and improving system reliability.
• Clear communication and the ability to make complex systems understandable to others.

Nice to have

• Backend experience with payments or ordering systems, including money‑related workflows.
• Experience in restaurants, retail, or IT.
