With millions of diners, 70,000+ 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.
What You’ll Work OnOur team develops and maintains core backend systems for the OpenTable For Restaurants product. Our systems are responsible for determining which tables at a restaurant are available at various times and party configurations based on a system of constraints specified by each restaurant. Our systems are also responsible for booking reservations and syncing their data in real-time to the iPads that power the OpenTable front-of-house experience for our restaurants. We operate in an environment where reliability and uptime are critical while operating at a large scale.
We work on a variety of projects which include both product development and technical infrastructure upgrades. Examples of recent projects include: allowing diners to instantly book a restaurant’s private room; automatic cancellation of reservations for diners who haven’t paid a required deposit; and improving the ability of our microservices to run in multiple data centers.
Our team is highly collaborative: we spend time debating what database architecture to implement for a new feature, or what the right technical solution is to a newly-reported bug. We practice continuous delivery, trunk-based development, code review, and pair programming. Automated testing is also critical for our team.
