Job Description
At Olo we develop an online food ordering platform used by many of the country's largest restaurant chains, reaching millions of consumers.

In addition to providing front end white label ordering, Olo also syndicates menus and receives orders from the county's largest restaurant marketplaces like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub.
Olo is growing and we need leaders like you to help us scale. Olo is seeking a new Director of Engineering to join the Syndication Partnerships team. The Syndication Partnerships team ensures that Olo’s Rails marketplace relationships, virtual brands and other syndication partnerships, such as reservations and listings management, are successful.

You will support the Engineering team’s efforts to design, develop, scale, and monitor solutions, improvements, and services.

Our tech stack is rooted in .NET (C# and F#) and SQL Server running in AWS infrastructure and modern software engineering tools such as GitHub, TeamCity, Octopus Deploy, Datadog, and Sumo Logic, and heavy use of OSS.
