Job Description

About The Opportunity The Grubhub Enterprise group is dedicated to giving diners the most convenient way to order food from their favorite restaurants (whether that's a late night Chalupa from Taco Bell or a salad for lunch from a local restaurant the day after they enjoyed said late night Chalupa). While we are food-obsessed, we are also customer-obsessed. We look to constantly innovate our technology so our diners' food experience is memorable, restaurant owners get more business and individuals across the country looking for part-time work can deliver the food from the restaurant to the diner flawlessly. We take great pride in knowing that we are a part of 17+ million diners food ordering experience and we are partnered with 105,000 restaurants in 2,000 US cities across our suite of apps (Grubhub, LevelUp, Seamless, Tapingo, Eat24). Want to be a part of the biggest movement in the US that is moving eating forward? If so, we want to talk to you - and hear what's your favorite restaurant for food delivery! Our Ruby on Rails Developers sit on our Platform engineering team to build and maintain the core set of systems that power the LevelUp ecosystem, an online ordering interface and network of dozens of mobile payments apps (maybe even the ones you use to order lunch) and point-of-sale integrations. We are a team of smart, highly motivated engineers that place a high value on writing well crafted, thoroughly tested, and maintainable code. We're growing extremely fast and are taking on the exciting challenges of keeping up with new product development while scaling our services to support higher volume and more clients.

This role will focus on our Delivery Team that impacts how our customers use our service. Some Challenges You'll TackleHere are some of the challenges that drive development for the Platform team: - How can we empower businesses to excite and reward their customers in new ways?- What interesting things can we do with SKU-level data when a user places an order?- Why should businesses keep using LevelUp or run more campaigns? How can we help them reach those conclusions more easily?- Who might want to build on top of our platform and how can we make sure our API supports their needs?- When will our system reach its breaking point? What must be done now to push back that date? You Should Have
