## Description

n

Lead the technical direction of the menu platform at one of the largest restaurant businesses on earth: more than 35,000 restaurants across 100+ countries, billions in sales. The menu sits at the center of everything - every promotion, every price, every order, across dozens of digital and in-store channels. We're rebuilding its foundations from the ground up, and we're looking for the technical leader who will help shape what those foundations look like for the next decade.

\n

\n

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a people-management role. You spend most of your time leading system and technical direction while building and shipping code daily, with the rest spent driving the team's day-to-day delivery. You lead architecture and design review, drive the project forward, and level up the engineers around you - all while writing a lot of code yourself.
