  • Experience with cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
  • Understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.

  • 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 customer’s success.
