About The Opportunity

The Branded Channel Technology team within Grubhub focuses on providing the set of technologies used by restaurant partners to power their own branded online ordering experiences. Developers on the team work primarily in Ruby on Rails and Java in order to build and maintain the core set of systems that power this restaurant ecosystem. We are a team of smart, highly motivated engineers that place a high value on writing well-crafted, thoroughly tested, and maintainable code.

As a Staff Engineer on the Branded Channel Technology team, you will be responsible for building, maintaining, monitoring, and scaling our product offerings for restaurant partners. Our team enables restaurants to take ownership and customize their own personalized mobile and web channels to obtain, market to and engage with their diners. We develop features that allow restaurant partners to leverage Grubhub technology within their own applications, including delivery, ordering capabilities, and third-party integrations. We also build and maintain many of the partner APIs which unlock these same capabilities for partners looking to develop their own experiences.
