For restaurant partners, ezCater helps grow their business by bringing them new high-value customers and large orders.

ezCater is hiring engineers to build modern product and administrative experiences on top of shared platform services. This role is front-end leaning, with a strong focus on web application architecture, user workflows, design systems, API integration, and high-quality product delivery.

ezCater is a B2B marketplace for business catering. We are building a ground-up re-architecture of our platform – a headless, channel-agnostic core with AI as a cross-cutting layer. The stack is modern and intentional: Go, PostgreSQL, Kafka (MSK), Temporal, Vespa, SpiceDB, EKS. The front end is a first-class product — every API surface is designed to be consumed by multiple channels (marketplace, internal tools, partner API). We are looking for engineers who are fluent in an AI-native SDLC. That means more than familiarity with tools like Claude, Codex, or Cursor. The right engineer knows how to use AI effectively across planning, implementation, review, testing, and iteration, and understands how to improve the workflows, context, and standards that make AI genuinely useful in engineering.

This role is ideal for someone who is strongest in front-end technologies and can work comfortably on a scalable and maintainable frontend platform. We are looking for an engineer who is self-driven, adaptable and excited to build scalable and maintainable solutions to support our growing business needs.

What You'll Do:

Build and maintain frontend platform, component library and web applications using modern front-end technologies such as TypeScript, React, and Next.js
Build reusable UI patterns, design tokens, components, and evangelize engineering guidance
Build and maintain a frontend platform that is machine-readable and API-first to serve AI agents alongside human users, with awareness of emerging commerce protocols (MCP, Universal Commerce Protocol)
Apply AI effectively throughout the software development lifecycle, including implementation planning, coding, review, testing, and quality improvement
Partner with product, design, and engineering peers to turn ambiguous requirements into well-scoped, high-quality deliveries
Own quality through testing, accessibility, observability, performance, and safe rollout practices

What You Have:

5+ years of professional development experience
Strong software engineering experience building production web applications
Deep fluency in Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, and modern build tooling (e.g., Turborepo, Rspack), with hands-on architectural credibility
Experience collaborating with product design to build Design Systems that include tokens, theming, cross-platform consistency, documentation for human and AI consumers
Experience designing front-end architecture, shared components, and maintainable application patterns
Strong fluency with AI-assisted software delivery and clear judgment about where AI helps and where rigor matters most
A practical understanding of AI-native workflows, including structured context, iterative loops, and high-quality review and testing practices
A strong quality mindset across testing, accessibility, performance, telemetry, and production ownership
Strong communication and a high-ownership approach to technical execution
Ability to travel up to 5 days per quarter for Together Weeks, team gatherings and other events, when applicable

Nice to Have:

Experience with design systems, component libraries, and front-end platform patterns
Experience with BFF layers, contract-driven development, or event-driven product architectures
Experience helping teams adopt more effective AI-assisted engineering practices
Comfort working across the stack, including reading and contributing to backend services when needed
Experience integrating with backend APIs and working effectively across service boundaries
