Our team develops and maintains core backend systems for the OpenTable For Restaurants product.
Our systems are responsible for determining which tables at a restaurant are available at various times and party configurations based on a system of constraints specified by each restaurant.
Our systems are also responsible for booking reservations and syncing their data in real-time to the iPads that power the OpenTable front-of-house experience for our restaurants.
We operate in an environment where reliability and uptime are critical while operating at a large scale.
We work on a variety of projects which include both product development and technical infrastructure upgrades.
Examples of recent projects include: allowing diners to instantly book a restaurant’s private room; automatic cancellation of reservations for diners who haven’t paid a required deposit; and improving the ability of our microservices to run in multiple data centers.
Our team is highly collaborative: we spend time debating what database architecture to implement for a new feature, or what the right technical solution is to a newly-reported bug.
We practice continuous delivery, trunk-based development, code review, and pair programming.
Automated testing is also critical for our team.
