Senior/Staff Back-End Software Engineer - Los Angeles, CA - CloudKitchens : Job Details

Who we are City Storage Systems develops infrastructure for better food - from building kitchens in cities around the world where restaurateurs can run their businesses, to developing software and hardware that makes the process of delivering orders to eaters fast, accurate, and reliable. Our facilities house many restaurants under one roof, and enable thousands of eaters and couriers to pick up food that was ordered via first- and third-party channels. Running these facilities requires building a streamlined process that keeps food fresh and ensures quality - and that means sensors, robotics, and hardware integration that automates and optimizes workflows throughout our buildings and facilitates efficient human-to-facility interactions. What you'll do We're looking for a backend-focused Software Engineer to join our Facility Automation team. Our team is responsible for making our food creation and delivery facilities efficient through robotics, custom hardware, and innovative software. We are a small team of frontend, backend, embedded, mobile, and mechanical engineers working across the stack to ship reliable systems around the world. You can see an example of the kinds of things we do on our tech blog, but you can also see it by ordering food from one of our facilities. As a Software Engineer at CloudKitchens, you'll help develop innovative new features and experiences for our customers. You will balance reliability with innovation, working with your fellow engineers, product managers, and sometimes users to craft efficient software and ship it to production. You'll leverage open-source and proprietary technologies and use languages and tools including Java, Go, Kubernetes, and CockroachDB. Your role will encompass a diverse range of responsibilities, including:

• Produce high-quality code by leading or contributing to large cross-functional projects that impact and drive business success.
• Actively own features and define their long-term health, keeping scalability at the forefront of technical designs.
• Assist our skilled operations and business teams in triaging and resolving production issues.
• Work with other engineers from various teams across verticals and review code.
• Build in a dynamic environment leveraging Data-Driven Development, Agile Methodologies, and Continuous Improvement.
• Learn the product and bring forth ideas on how to make it better for our users and customers.

What we're looking for

• 6+ years of industry software engineering experience with backend technologies, developing and shipping applications using languages such as Java and Go or similar.
• Familiarity with the full life cycle of shipping applications, from architecture and implementation to testing and deployment.
• Strong communicator who can explain complex topics to not only other engineers but also designers, product managers, and support.
• Individual Contribution: A track record of significant contributions in previous roles, showcasing your ability to make a meaningful impact
• Strong ability to design and create long-lasting architecture from scratch and evolve existing systems
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent training, fellowship, or work experience.
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment and an appreciation for problems requiring breadth.
• Expertise with JAVA/GO
• A love for good food.

Why join us

• Growing market: You'll be focused on a part of a market that's projected to reach at least $500 billion by 2030 in the US alone.
• Changing the restaurant industry: You'll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery, and be on the forefront of helping our facilities efficiently scale.
• Collaborative environment: You will receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you to learn, grow, and achieve your goals, and you'll work closely with other teams to ensure our customers' success.
