Intermediate Full Stack Developer

TouchBistro is a comprehensive restaurant management solution built to help restaurateurs streamline operations, boost sales, and elevate the guest experience. We're currently on the lookout for Full Stack Developers to join our team. Our software powers many of the bars, cafes and restaurants you know and love—especially across Canada and the United States. Working with us means you'll likely see the impact of your work on your next coffee run or night out or night out at your favourite restaurant. The restaurant industry moves quickly and so do we. We deploy our changes a dozen times a day and we use our world-class dev tooling and observability to ensure our speed is an asset to our customers.

Every day we “Fix it, Ship it, Own it”. And just like fusion cuisine, our best work comes from collaboration. As a team of iOS, Android and Typescript developers, we frequently come together to solve challenging problems and innovate in ways that our product managers love and our customers are excited about. Our team values continuous improvement: let’s grow our skills and improve our software a little every day.

What does the team do?

• We build product features to be proud of on a TypeScript-first stack consisting of a Next.js frontend and a Node.js/Express/Postgres backend, all hosted on AWS.
• We burn our tech debt by incorporating a bit of tech debt work into every work week and we regularly have longer tech debt only phases.
• We collaborate with other teams to ensure that our customers are able to seamlessly use our product across multiple integrations and software upgrades.
• We mix it up by trying out different technology stacks and roles. Have a product idea? Let’s try out a proof of concept with a few customers. Want to try working a bit on the iOS app or on Docker images? Let’s pair you up with someone who can show you around.
• We use AI tools like Cursor and ChatGPT to automate toil and help us do our best work.

What You Bring

• 3-5 years of full-stack experience building and supporting software in production
• Experienced in building REST-based web services (we use Node.js, Typescript, and OpenAPI)
• Experienced in system design, ideally for both new systems and refactoring old ones
• Experience with robust test patterns for CI/CD builds and post-deployment verification
• Solid understanding of relational databases, including data modeling, normalization, basic performance optimization through indexes (we use Postgres)

Nice to Have

• Experience with observability systems (we use Datadog extensively for our o11y stack and have integrated Logging, APM, RUM, DBM and use most of their products in some way)
• Experience with mobile development, especially React Native, Kotlin or Swift/ObjC
• Experience in another area of product development, like customer support, quality assurance, test automation
