Job description

Who we are
In the past, to be a successful restaurateur, you simply had to have a passion for food and a passion for people - but to succeed as a digital restaurateur you also need to have a passion for technology. We believe in the joy of serving others, and that's why we created Otter - to help restaurateurs succeed in online food delivery. Restaurants around the world, both large and small, including Chick-fil-A, Ben & Jerry's, KFC, and Eataly trust our software to power their delivery business. We increase sales, reduce order issues, and decrease delivery headaches.
What you'll do
  • Lead the development, architecture, and maintenance of real-time streaming pipelines with Apache Flink, Kafka, and related tools to ensure low-latency, reliable data delivery.
  • Implement data quality strategies, including dynamic filtering, checkpointing, and auto-healing for robust, consistent pipelines.
  • Support and operate real-time data infrastructure, internal tooling, and monitoring systems for pipeline health and performance.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and analytics teams to address data needs and feature requests.
  • Establish and promote best practices in streaming data engineering, data governance, and cloud platforms while optimizing data models for streaming analytics.

What we're looking for
  • 3+ years of domain experience.
  • Exposure to streaming data frameworks/tools (e.g., Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, Google Data Flow, etc.)
  • Required bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or relevant practical experience).
  • Experience in programming languages (Java, Python, or Scala) and their application in distributed computing systems.
  • Experience with SQL and relational data modeling concepts.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a collaborative, proactive attitude.
  • Good communication skills; ability to explain technical concepts to team members.

Why join us
  • Demand for online food delivery is growing really fast! In the last 5 years, just in the US, the overall market has expanded 10X from $10B to $100B, and could expand to $500bn- $1T by 2030.
  • Changing the restaurant industry: You'll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery.
  • 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 customer's success.

What else you need to know
This role is based in our Seattle office. As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential. We're constantly reimagining our industry, creating new products, and refining our processes, and we do our best work together. That's why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.
The base salary range for this role is $167,000 - $230,000 per year.
Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.
Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package. You may also be eligible for equity awards and an annual performance-based bonus.
Benefits Summary (USA Full-Time Exempt Employees):
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance (multiple plans, incl. HSA options).
  • Company-paid life and disability insurance (short- and long-term).
  • Voluntary insurance: accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity.
  • Optional supplemental life insurance for self, spouse, and children.
  • Pet insurance discount.
  • 401(k).
  • Time Off policies:
    • Discretionary vacation days
    • 8 paid holidays per year
    • Paid sick time
    • Paid Bereavement leave
    • Paid Parental Leave
    • Health Savings Account (HSA)
    • Flexible Spending Accounts (Healthcare, Dependent Care, Commuter)
