Jobs at Wonder

Build and maintain backend systems powering automated restaurants and robotic operations. Design reliable, distributed, real-time infrastructure connecting cloud services, on-site hardware, frontend applications, and internal systems. Develop event-driven architectures, databases, APIs, WebSocket integrations, and containerized applications while ensuring production reliability and zero data loss. Own features end to end, contribute to system design, mentor engineers, improve development processes, and collaborate with cross-functional partners.

Build and maintain backend systems for automated restaurants using Elixir and Phoenix. Develop order-processing, pacing, event-handling, APIs, WebSocket protocols, and distributed systems connecting cloud infrastructure with robotic hardware. Optimize PostgreSQL databases, implement business logic, support reliability and performance, and participate in on-call operations while collaborating with frontend, robotics, and QA teams.

Manage UL listing and NSF certification for food automation products, translating safety standards into engineering requirements and coordinating with testing laboratories. Conduct product safety and sanitation testing, maintain certification records and compliant BOMs, support contract manufacturer audits, manage certification vendors and purchase orders, and help engineering teams resolve compliance issues. The role requires cross-functional collaboration, occasional travel to manufacturing sites, and at least three office days weekly in Boston.

Manage a portfolio of strategic SMB merchant accounts, building partner relationships, conducting business reviews, and executing account plans to drive retention, acquisition, conversion, revenue growth, and expansion. Responsibilities include renewals, upselling, cross-functional collaboration, data-driven guidance, emergency account support, and travel to meet partners and attend industry events.

Design, build, and maintain cloud and on-site edge infrastructure for robotics. Manage Ubuntu edge servers using AWS ECS Anywhere, Terraform, and Ansible. Maintain server provisioning and imaging pipelines, improve CI/CD workflows, debug network and application issues, and build developer tooling to increase team velocity and reliability.

Build and maintain high-performance Vue.js interfaces controlling automated restaurant robotics. Develop real-time WebSocket communication, manage complex reactive state, translate Figma designs into intuitive tools, and optimize frontend performance under heavy data loads. Collaborate with software, hardware, product, and design teams while learning additional technologies such as Elixir and Phoenix.

Develop robotics software bridging high-level orchestration and low-level machine control. Build scalable, reliable Python control systems, scheduling algorithms, simulations, and test suites. Integrate software with sensors, actuators, electronics, and mechanical systems; adapt software to new hardware; improve machine error handling; and own software components from concept through deployment and support while collaborating with software, hardware, and product teams.

Lead the development of an automated beverage platform, managing a team of engineers, and ensuring product specs are met through collaboration and effective project management.

Leads strategic finance, FP&A, forecasting, budgeting, month-end close, CapEx planning, cost accounting, margin analysis, and financial process integration for robotics, AI, and manufacturing divisions. Builds accounting structures, ERP processes, inventory and fixed-asset procedures, and reporting frameworks while advising senior engineering and operations leaders on profitability, unit economics, and cost optimization.

The Robotics Deployment & Applications Engineer leads on-site deployments of Infinite Kitchens, coordinates technical teams, and collaborates on product development while ensuring project efficiency and addressing potential risks.

Manage a portfolio of restaurant accounts by understanding Grubhub products, conducting regular check-ins, responding to inquiries, driving diner acquisition and order volume, maintaining records, and participating in training while meeting sales goals and supporting team initiatives.
