## Description

We're looking for a Lead Software Engineer to play a critical role in evolving the architecture of our software platform, while mentoring a team of 3-5 engineers. Our software is used by restaurant staff every minute that a restaurant is open, from seating guests, to taking orders, to displaying orders in the kitchen. Our overall ecosystem, contains an evolving set of Java microservices deployed to AWS, interacting with thousands of Android tablets using modern payments hardware. We deal with payment processing, syncing data across tablets, interesting features like functioning as a customer facing kiosk, and more.
Some projects we've been working on recently include:

 * A kiosk that allows restaurant customers to place their own orders
 * A system that allows restaurants to take payments even while our primary credit card processor is offline
 * A discount system for our customers to configure complex discount rules
