About Us
Openr is transforming how the hospitality industry manages and shares data. By centralising recipe, product, and pricing information, we help hospitality businesses seamlessly connect to platforms like Deliveroo and Just Eat, as well as EPOS and other customer touch points.
Weve recently closed a significant funding round and are backed by Azzurri Group, one of the UKs most successful hospitality investment platforms. With strong market traction, were growing our engineering team.
About The Role
Were looking for a mid-level engineer to join our small, collaborative engineering team. This is a hands‑on role where youll be writing code every day, contributing to real product decisions, and growing your skills alongside experienced engineers who are invested in your development.
You’ll work across the full stack. You dont need to have done it all. What matters is that youre curious, care about your craft, and want to keep getting better.
What You’ll Be Working With
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.
We care more about how you think and learn than whether you’ve used a specific tool before.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Building and Delivering: Youll contribute to building and shipping features, help keep our codebase healthy, and develop your understanding of how to balance speed with quality. Over time, youll get involved in identifying bottlenecks, improving reliability, and shaping how we build things.
* Growing and Collaborating: Youll work closely with more experienced engineers wholl support your growth, through code reviews, pairing, and open technical conversation. As you grow into the role, youll start contributing your own perspective to how we approach problems.
Getting Involved Beyond the Code
Were a small team, so everyone has a voice. Youll get exposure to product thinking, technical planning, and conversations with non-technical colleagues, good preparation for wherever you want to take your career.
What We’re Looking For
* Some commercial experience writing TypeScript or JavaScript (backend or full‑stack)
* A working understanding of SQL and relational databases
* Comfort working with version control and collaborative development workflows
* An interest in how systems fit together, APIs, services, data flow
It’d be great if you have, but it’s not essential:
* Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or similar)
* Familiarity with serverless or event‑driven patterns
* Some exposure to React or frontend development
* An interest in SaaS or integration‑heavy platforms
We’re more interested in how you approach problems than how many years you’ve been doing it.
What We Offer
* Flexible hybrid working. Two days a week in our Central London office in Farringdon, the rest from wherever works for you.
* No out‑of‑hours support. We believe great work happens when people have balance.
* Real influence. Direct input into architectural decisions and the technical direction of a growing SaaS platform.
* A learning culture. Dedicated time and support for developing new skills, working with modern cloud‑native technologies.
* A collaborative team. We genuinely enjoy working together and supporting each others growth.
Benefits
* 25 days holiday per year plus Bank Holidays
* Life Assurance (4x salary)
* Income Protection (75% salary after 26 weeks)
* Access to WeCare Employee Assistance Programme
* Cycle to Work Scheme
* Annual eyecare voucher with Specsavers
* Wrkit Savings & Benefits platform
We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. If youre excited about this role but dont tick every box, wed still love to hear from you. Curiosity and a desire to learn matter more to us than a perfect checklist.
