About OpenTable:
With millions of diners, 60,000+ restaurant partners and 25+ years of experience, OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), is an industry leader with a passion for helping restaurants thrive. Our world-class technology empowers restaurants to focus on what matters most – their team, their guests, and their bottom line – while enabling diners to discover and book the perfect restaurant for every occasion.
Every employee at OpenTable has a tangible impact on what we do and how we do it. You’ll also be part of a global team and its portfolio of metasearch brands. Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture.
The Opportunity
The Diner Core Reservation team builds and operates the systems that power the reservation lifecycle for the core diner experience – from slot lock and booking through change, cancel, confirm, and downstream event publication. These systems sit at the center of a critical set of diner, restaurant and partner flows, serving OpenTable web and mobile clients as well as partner integrations, and they operate multi-region with strict expectations around correctness, latency, and reliability.
We’re looking for a Senior Engineer who can design and deliver changes in a complex reservation domain, raise the bar on software quality, and help the team move quickly without compromising reliability. The team works across a mix of C#/.NET and Java services and supporting systems, and the role requires comfort navigating both ecosystems. Other technologies you’ll work with include Redis, relational databases such as Postgres or SQL Server, in-memory and distributed caches, RESTful APIs, and Kafka-based event-driven architectures (EDA).
What You'll Do
You’ll be a hands-on backend engineer: writing code, contributing to design docs, reviewing changes thoughtfully, and owning work from design through rollout, observability, and iteration.

What We're Looking For
The expected range of compensation for this position based in Toronto, Canada, including commission and/or bonuses is $140,000 - $155,000 CAD. There are a variety of factors that go into determining a compensation range, including but not limited to external market benchmark data, geographic location, and years of experience sought/required.
We offer a competitive base salary and benefits including: health benefits; flexible spending account; retirement benefits; life insurance; paid time off (including PTO, paid sick leave, medical leave, bereavement leave, floating holidays and paid holidays); and parental leave benefits. This role is eligible to be considered for an annual bonus and equity grant.
Work Environment & Flexibility
At OpenTable, we pride ourselves on fostering a global and dynamic work environment. As a team member with us, you will benefit from a schedule tailored to accommodate a global workforce operating across multiple time zones. While the majority of your responsibilities may align with conventional business hours, there will be instances where you are expected to manage communications - via calls, Slack messages, or emails - outside of regular working hours to effectively collaborate with international colleagues, respond to restaurant partners, and/or address urgent matters. OpenTable will always abide by and consider local laws and regulations.
We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong and can thrive. We know the best ideas come when we bring different voices to the table, so we're building a team as dynamic as the diners and restaurants we serve—and fostering a culture where everyone feels welcome to be themselves.
