About Featured: 
We've created a solution FOR the restaurant industry BY people who have worked in the industry and have a passion for it.

Featured is a new mobile app that allows restaurants to connect directly with restaurant-goers to feature their specials and deals while collecting data and feedback from their guests. It offers guests a single access point for information to help them decide where to eat ? providing them information on specials around them as well as suggestions for where to go based on our predictive analytics. Guests can also choose to receive push notifications from their favorite restaurants. So they never miss out!

Our mission is to be the single most relevant app for creating any experience that has to do with food and drinks.

 

What you'll do

Responsibilities

As a backend engineer, you will:

Write great code, building new features at a rapid pace. For us at Featured, it starts with the healthy balance between great code and moving fast.

You'll work with a small team, but we expect you to be the backend expert, laying the foundation of great code yourself and helping others around you to code to those standards.

Be responsible for communicating with the client application leads and coordinating releases of new features. We release new features on 2 clients at the same time.

If you bring anything else to the table (e.g. also has mobile development experience, previous life as a dev ops, mad bartending skills, etc.), we'd probably be thrilled to know about that... It's a small team.

Ideal Experience/Qualifications:

3+ years of software development experience, ideally using Java or Python.

Strong understanding of databases and NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB)

Experience in building and scaling systems (AWS.)

Used to a fast paced and collaborative environment where every voice has an impact on the product.

Bachelor's degree in computer science and/or relevant work experience.

Why Featured?

Ownership over a real time communication system backend. The ability to influence technology and business decisions and have an impact on the design of features, API's and systems.

Your ideas and code will instantly touch tens of thousands of people.

Opportunity to build a team - As we grow, there is an opportunity for this person to build and lead an engineering team.

Work With Us

Here at Featured, we like to work hard, but we also like to play hard as well. Don't even think about wearing a collared shirt to the office unless you are into that sort of thing. We will provide the coffee, snacks, gaming station, lunch on Fridays, and of course the pay.

If you are feeling tired and need to take a quick nap, by all means don't sit in front of your computer nodding off for hours at a time...go grab a snooze. We would rather that because you will feel better, therefore doing better and more creative work.

Also if you get your work done and you have nothing left to do for the week and it's Thursday at lunch, take a long weekend and reward yourself for the hard work. If you want to sleep in and get to work later and work a little later, that is ok too, we are very flexible and as long as the work is getting done we are happy and want to make sure you are happy too!
