Job description

About SpotOn
We're not just building restaurant tech, we're giving independent restaurants the tools to compete and win. From our award-winning point-of-sale to AI-powered profit tools, everything we do helps operators boost profit, work smarter, and keep their best people. And every solution is backed by real humans who actually give a sh*t about helping restaurants succeed.
  • Named the #1 Restaurant POS by G2 (Summer 2026), based on ratings from real users
  • Rated the top-rated point-of-sale (POS) for restaurants, bars, retail, and small businesses by Capterra users
  • Awarded Great Places to Work and Built In's Best Workplaces for multiple years running

We move fast, care hard, and fight for independent restaurant operators to do what they love, and love doing it. If you're looking to make an impact with heart and hustle, SpotOn is the place for you.
About the Role
As a Staff Android Software Engineer in our Hospitality group, you are a technical leader and multiplier. You will serve as a key technical leader for the systems that power the daily operations of thousands of restaurants. This isn't just about building features; it's about defining how we build them.
You will oversee the technical direction of our Android-native POS and handheld applications, ensuring they are resilient, performant, and capable of handling complex hospitality workflows, from intricate order processing to seamless handoffs to third-party payment processors. You will work at the intersection of product vision and engineering excellence, solving the hardest technical challenges that face our mobile platform. This is a hands-on Staff IC role: you will write production code, lead design reviews, guide architecture, and create leverage through mentorship and cross-team execution.
What You'll Do
  • Technical Strategy & Architecture: Define and drive the multi-year architectural roadmap for our Android applications. You will ensure our "offline-first" capabilities and real-time data syncing remain reliable, scalable, and continuously improving as we scale.
  • Lead Cross-Functional Initiatives: Lead high-impact technical projects that span multiple squads, such as modularizing our codebase, optimizing local data persistence (Room/SQLite), or overhauling our UI layer with Jetpack Compose.
  • Reliability at Scale: Take ownership of the stability and performance of our hospitality suite. You'll design systems that are resilient to the high-pressure, 24/7 environment of a commercial kitchen.
  • Mentor & Level Up: Act as a mentor to Senior and Mid-level engineers. You will set the standard for code quality, documentation, and automated testing, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
  • Partner Across Product and Engineering: Work with Engineering, Product, Design, and leadership to evaluate feasibility, shape roadmap decisions, and align technical investments with customer and business outcomes.
  • Improve Developer Productivity: Partner with enablement teams to improve CI/CD, automated testing, failure analysis, and responsible use of AI-assisted engineering tools.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant experience building Android applications at scale. Demonstrated track record operating at Staff Engineer scope or equivalent technical leadership.
  • Deep Kotlin experience, including coroutines, Flow, and structured concurrency. Experience modernizing or interoperating with legacy Android architectures, such as RxJava-based systems.
  • Proven experience designing and evolving large, multi-module Android applications.
  • Strong understanding of Android architecture patterns such as MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture, or similar approaches.
  • Experience with complex local data management, offline-first workflows, synchronization, or high-volume real-time data flows.
  • Ability to diagnose complex performance, reliability, and cross-layer issues across application, OS, hardware, and network boundaries.
  • Track record of leading technical initiatives through influence across multiple teams.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience building POS, hospitality, retail, logistics, payments, or other operationally critical software.
  • Experience integrating with payment SDKs, device services, Bluetooth/USB peripherals, printers, scanners, or custom Android hardware.
  • Experience with mobile observability tools such as Grafana, Sentry, Firebase, ELK, or similar platforms.
  • Experience improving automated testing, CI/CD, release quality, or developer productivity for mobile teams.
What We Value
  • Customer-First Mindset: You build for the server in the middle of a Friday night rush, not just for the sake of clean code.
  • Pragmatic Excellence: The ability to balance long-term technical health with the immediate needs of the business.

Curiosity: A drive to stay ahead of the Android ecosystem and a willingness to adopt (or reject) new technologies based on merit.
Compensation:
  • Our base pay range is $188,000 -$230,000/year for this role.
  • Please note the salary range listed is just one component of a competitive compensation package which includes a company stock plan
  • Offers will be reflective of the candidate's location and experience.

Benefits:
At SpotOn, we put people above everything else. We're known for our innovative software and technology solutions, but we stand out because of the hard-working humans behind the tech. We can't take care of our clients without taking care of our employees first, and that's why we invest in you with a competitive benefits package which includes:
  • Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance
  • 401k with company match
  • RSUs
  • Paid vacation, 10 company holidays, sick time, and volunteer time off
  • Employee Resource Groups to build community and inclusion at work
  • Monthly cell phone and internet stipend
  • Tuition reimbursement for up to $2,000 per calendar year to assist with your professional development
