We are looking for smart, thoughtful, collaborative technologists to help us reach our goals while delivering value and impact across our business.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Monolith Experience team, you will empower enjoyable, sustainable and fast engineering in our monolith, which powers the core business functionality at ezCater. As a member of this team, you will drive the future of the monolith and therefore, engineering at ezCater. This will range from designing generic solutions to cross-domain problems, providing a guiding light for standards across the engineering organization, and identifying high value opportunities to delight our internal engineering customers.

What You’ll Do:

• Join a platform team focused on delighting other engineers as they work in a Ruby on Rails monolith and related ecosystem.
• Build highly-scalable, fault-tolerant systems utilizing Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, and other technologies in a hybrid monolithic/microservices architecture.
• Improve the engineering experience by identifying, decomposing, designing and executing on high value solutions to problems impacting teams across the organization.
• Work with other talented engineers on your team to implement, test, and evaluate the things you build.
• Support generic internal tools used across domains within the monolith.
• Partner with engineering teams across the organization to develop and maintain engineering standards.
• Communicate with your team to ensure mission clarity and provide technical direction.
• Share ideas for improving the product, technology, and/or process.
• Operate with scale and speed in mind, embracing new challenges and contributing to the development lifecycle.
• Have fun building meaningful software with awesome people!

What You Have:

• 2+ years of experience with Ruby on Rails.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• An empathetic, friendly, flexible, and pragmatic disposition.
• Desire to work on a backend-heavy platform team.
• Deep knowledge of SQL / relational databases. Postgres? Even better.
• Experience designing and building large-scale systems for a nationwide marketplace.
• Extensive experience designing APIs and an understanding of API-first development.
• An appetite for learning, experimentation, relentless curiosity, and an ability to leverage what you learn to make our products better.

The national cash compensation range for this role is $141,000 – $174,000 per year*

• Please note: Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including prior experience, expertise and region & may vary from the amount above. This range does not represent additional compensation benefits (such as equity, 401K or medical, dental or vision insurance).

Please have fun with the cover letter section of our application! It does not need to follow “traditional” cover letter guidelines – we would love for you to write 150-500 words explaining why you are interested in ezCater and the role, and highlighting anything else you think we should know!

What you’ll get from us:

You’ll get a terrifically compelling opportunity, in an environment of radical transparency, open access to all the data, and collaborative colleagues at every level of our organization. You’ll also get sane working hours and great flexibility around work/life balance. 

Have people in your life – of any age – who always, often, or sometimes need your help? We make room for that. Have a bad thing or a good thing happen to you? We make room for that, too.

Oh, and you’ll get all this: Market salary, stock options that you’ll help make worth a lot, the usual holidays, all-you-can-eat vacation, 401K with ezCater match, health/dental/FSA, long-term disability insurance, remote-hybrid work from our awesome Boston or Denver offices OR your home OR a mixture of both home and office (you choose!), a tremendous amount of responsibility and autonomy, wicked awesome co-workers, cupcakes (and many more goodies) when you’re in one of our offices, and knowing that you helped get this rocket ship to the moon.
