Engineering Manager - Data
In 2007, two software engineers and serial entrepreneurs founded a technology company, ezCater. ezCater is the world’s largest online marketplace for catering – a $60+ billion market in just the U.S. We make it superbly easy for businesspeople to find and order great food for meetings and events, and we help our catering partners grow their business. We’re backed by $320 million in venture funding and valued at over $1 billion. Our mission is to power the world’s catering, and we’ll make it happen – even more surely if you come help us.
