Job Description

Who we are

Otter provides infrastructure and software that enables food operators to open delivery-only locations with minimal capital expenditure and time. We’re taking restaurants to a whole new place. Where seamless delivery is prioritized, costs are minimized, and profits are maximized for anyone involved in the food industry–from entrepreneurs, and independent operators, to established restaurant chains.

Our software assists our customers in all stages of their food business, from onboarding via a turn-key solution to our ghost kitchens to managing their delivery services and business all in one platform. We are building technology that gives superpowers to digital restaurants to empower them so they can focus on what they do best: serving their customers.

• You will develop an advanced new POS system with modern Android technologies. 
• Produce high-quality code by leading or contributing to projects that impact and drive business success.
• Actively own features or systems and define their long-term health, keeping scalability at the forefront of technical designs. 
• Assist our skilled operations and business teams in triaging and resolving production issues. 
• Collaborate with Product Managers, Designers, and Engineers to conceptualize and build new features for our growing customer base.
• Improve our engineering standards, tooling, and processes. 

What we’re looking for

• You have 3+ years of experience developing large-scale Kotlin Android applications 
• You have experience creating and maintaining Android applications, developing new features, debugging existing code, and ensuring the applications are optimized for the best user experience.
• You are familiar with RESTful APIs to connect Android applications to back-end services.
• You have strong communication, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• You have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Development, or a related field.
• A love for good food.

Why join us 

• Growing market: You’ll be focused on an $80 billion market that’s projected to reach at least $500 billion by 2030 in the US alone. 
• Changing the restaurant industry: You’ll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery. 
• Collaborative environment: You will receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you to learn, grow, and achieve your goals, and you’ll work closely with other teams to ensure our customers’ success.

What else do you need to know

This role is based in our Los Angeles office location. We believe that people do their best work when they are together. As a company, we’re in the marketplace of ideas and innovation. When you’re constantly innovating, changing how an industry works, inventing new products and processes – and we are doing all these things – we believe we’re better as a team in person. That’s why all of our teams (except for our field-based roles) work from one of our office locations 5 days a week. Looking forward to sharing more about a Career of Substance at Otter.
