About Us
Openr is transforming how the hospitality industry manages and shares data. By centralising recipe, product, and pricing information, we help hospitality businesses connect to platforms like Deliveroo and Just Eat, as well as EPOS and other customer touch points.
This is a hands-on role where you'll be designing and building the systems that power our platform, while helping set the technical direction for how we grow. Our stack includes TypeScript, React, and React Query on the frontend, with AWS Lambda, Node.js, and PostgreSQL on the backend, running on AWS cloud infrastructure. You'll contribute to our product roadmap from a technical perspective and help the team navigate complex dependencies and risks.

You'll mentor engineers across the team, helping them develop their skills and confidence. You'll also be involved in recruitment, from screening candidates and reviewing code challenges to helping shape how we onboard new joiners.
