About Checkmate Checkmate is a restaurant technology solution provider that has continually evolved over time. We started in 2017 by integrating 3rd party platforms to the POS systems of restaurants. At that time, there were multiple 3rd party platforms like GrubHub, UberEats, DoorDash, Postmates, Caviar, and even Amazon! This was the photograph that started it all! We have since then continually evolved to add multiple products to our portfolio, the primary ones being first party ordering solutions like web and app ordering, kiosks and catering. We have now recently moved into three new exciting products: Digital Menu Boards, Phone Ordering AI and Drive thru AI. We form a very core part of the restaurant technology ecosystem, and are continually adding more and more digital solutions for the restaurant brands to increase their sales. Our revolutionary enterprise menu management system, Everyware, truly unlocks the potential of menus and how it can be customized for each individual digital channel. As you can see, this is a company that continually evolves and adapts and today we are powering digital ordering solutions for some of the largest brands in the world. We have been called the "north star of vendors" as we truly believe that technology is just a method by which we service the customers, it does not form the entirety of it. Service is a big component of what we provide to our customers, which is inherently believed by every single team member here. We are doing a lot of exciting things, including application of AI in our products and systems, using experimentation at scale to determine what works for our clients and ML to analyze and productize the massive amount of data we have. Each individual here makes a difference and has a valuable contribution. Key traits here are ownership and drive. Join us if you think you have them. We’re looking for an experienced Senior Full Stack Engineer (Ruby on Rails, React.js) to join our team and help build and scale the systems that power our core applications. You’ll work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to design scalable backend systems, manage core data logic, and develop modern responsive user interfaces for a large, high-traffic platform that supports web and mobile experiences. This is a highly impactful role for someone who is passionate about performance, reliability, user experience, and writing clean, maintainable code. What You’ll Do As a key member of our engineering team, you’ll design, develop, and maintain critical services that support our products and customers: - Frontend Development & UX Focus: Build and maintain modern web applications using React.js, ensuring responsiveness, scalability, and performance. Work closely with UI/UX designers to implement user-friendly interfaces, ensuring cross-browser compatibility and optimization. - Backend Development & Core Services: Design, develop, and maintain critical backend services and core application logic using Ruby on Rails, ensuring high reliability, performance, and security. - API Development: Design, build, and optimize RESTful or GraphQL APIs to provide efficient, reliable data access for the React frontend and other internal systems. - Architecture & Performance: Architect and implement scalable full-stack systems. Continuously optimize performance, reliability, and efficiency through profiling, caching (e.g., Redis), and background job processing (e.g., Sidekiq). - Database Management: Design, maintain, and optimize relational databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL. Write and tune SQL queries for performance and scalability. - System Reliability & Monitoring: Contribute to improving observability and performance monitoring. Quickly diagnose and resolve production issues across various environments and platforms. - Code Quality & Automation: Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code emphasizing modularity and maintainability. Ensure code quality through best practices, comprehensive automated testing, and active participation in code reviews. Contribute to improving CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and proactively identify areas for system and process improvement. - Collaboration & Feature Delivery: Work closely with other engineers, product managers, and designers to deliver impactful, user-focused features that align with product goals.
