Senior Software Engineer II - Core Ordering Features

Northern Ireland

Olo is a leading SaaS platform accelerating digital transformation in the restaurant industry, by helping customers deliver more personalized and profitable guest experiences. As a result, our digital ordering, payment, and guest engagement solutions enable brands to do more with less and make every guest feel like a regular.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Core Ordering Features team, you will lead the architecture, implementation, and maintenance of features for Olo’s core ordering products, interfaces, and management tools. Our team has the mission to enable and enhance ordering so our brands can be successful. We take pride in a neat codebase with automated tests and continuous integration, and encourage constant refactoring. We encourage new ideas and experimentation. No part of the code base is off limits.

This position is fully remote; while we are ideally looking for candidates based in Northern Ireland, we are open to candidates anywhere within the United Kingdom.

You will be contracted to Olo through Deel, our Employer of Record. An Employer of Record (EOR) is an organization hired by companies to handle the legal and administrative responsibilities of employing staff, often in countries where the company might not have a local presence. Here’s an easy way to think of it: You work for Olo in a practical sense, completing your assigned role. The EOR is your formal employer, meaning the EOR takes care of all the administrative and legal responsibilities for your employment. In line with this arrangement, you maintain your day-to-day relationship with Olo, and Deel will be your point of contact for any job-related matters of your engagement. Moreover, you’ll retain all the employment rights you typically have under local employment law when you’re hired through an EOR, and you will be eligible for private healthcare coverage in addition to being able to participate in all statutorily required benefits and pension programs.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement scalable, high-quality components and services that align with team and company goals.
• Contribute to technical decision‑making, including solution design and architecture, with a focus on addressing technical debt, reliability, and system performance.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and stakeholders to translate customer needs into technical solutions.
• Proactively monitor and improve system performance, identifying and resolving issues swiftly and effectively, while communicating clearly and effectively with stakeholders during incidents to ensure alignment and prompt resolution.
• Take a proactive approach to support, digging into issues to identify root causes and developing long‑term, proactive solutions to prevent recurrence.
• Document and share knowledge effectively to elevate the team’s technical expertise.
• Champion best practices in software development, agile methodologies, and continuous improvement.

What We’ll Expect From You

• 5+ years of on‑job development experience.
• Experience with architecting and developing end‑to‑end flows in a distributed/microservices application architecture.
• Experience writing unit tests and testable code.
• Demonstrates strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to navigate complex technical challenges.
• Exhibits excellent judgment, seeking diverse perspectives and challenging assumptions to improve outcomes.
• Delivers constructive feedback that empowers individuals and strengthens the team.
• Communicates technical concepts clearly, adapting to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Consistently meets sprint and quarterly commitments while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.
• Familiarity with AWS, TeamCity, Octopus, Datadog, and Sumo Logic.
