open technology toolset.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our passionate, lean, agile, fast-growing, evolving

and tech-loving team on a permanent basis. The projects we are working on are innovative and

will change the fast-casual dining experience forever.

As a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, deploying and

maintaining innovative solutions using the latest tools and technologies. Software Engineers

work in conjunction with Technical Leads and focus on delivering through the entire technical

stack: be that backend services, systems integrations or rich user interfaces.

You will relish tackling and solving tough problems and be looking to expand your skillset and

increase your influence across new technologies. We will continue investing in you through

training, conferences and great opportunities for advancement as we grow our team.

You'll be comfortable working independently on backend and frontend tickets and can run

effective sessions with peers on your team to ensure we're delivering the right thing in the right

way. You will work with our build pipelines and infrastructure at a level where you can configure,

optimise and troubleshoot for continued reliability and performance.

You'll be passionate about moving Nando's forward and be a champion of best practices,

patterns, processes and tech. You will lead by example: getting your hands dirty in the code,

inspiring your peers & delivering quality software every day.

About the Locate, Payment and Menu Team

Our team brings together three critical domains of the Nando’s eCommerce platform. The Locate

domain is key to discovering restaurant capabilities during online ordering and third-party

integrations, helping communicate to our customers and other systems what a restaurant can

offer. The Menu domain’s primary objective is to support the business in presenting menu items

digitally, effectively translating the physical menu into a seamless digital experience. The

Payment domain covers everything related to getting money in for our eCommerce journeys,

making integration with our payment provider a critical responsibility.

As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in developing and enhancing the digital

experience across these domains. Your primary responsibility will be to work on end-to-end

projects, providing APIs and connecting them with the frontend experience on both web and app

platforms. Collaboration with other domain teams within the Customer Digital space will be a key

aspect of your role, ensuring smooth integration and leveraging collective expertise to deliver the

overall customer experience. You will be responsible for developing elegant solutions to match

multi-variant business requirements and building high-throughput systems to support our

operations.

Our Engineers have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects across a wide range of

products that enable us to operate our restaurants business efficiently and provide customers

with a great experience.

working

• Support backlog priority decisions with technical input

• Develop E2E and unit test coverage, actively work to increase the robustness,

• Maintain services once in production and ensure a robust monitoring and alerting

• Build robust and performant release pipelines; support peers in troubleshooting

build failures

Skills required
