Software Engineer – Locate, Payment and Menu
Overall Ambition
Solve some of today's complex hospitality problems by creating innovative solutions using an open technology toolset.
What We're Looking For
We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our passionate, lean, agile, fast-growing, evolving and tech-loving team on a permanent basis. The projects we are working on are innovative and will change the fast-casual dining experience forever.
As a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, deploying and maintaining innovative solutions using the latest tools and technologies. Software Engineers work in conjunction with Technical Leads and focus on delivering through the entire technical stack: be that backend services, systems integrations or rich user interfaces.
You will relish tackling and solving tough problems and be looking to expand your skillset and increase your influence across new technologies. We will continue investing in you through training, conferences and great opportunities for advancement as we grow our team.
You'll be comfortable working independently on backend and frontend tickets and can run effective sessions with peers on your team to ensure we're delivering the right thing in the right way. You will work with our build pipelines and infrastructure at a level where you can configure, optimise and troubleshoot for continued reliability and performance.
You'll be passionate about moving Nando's forward and be a champion of best practices, patterns, processes and tech. You will lead by example: getting your hands dirty in the code, inspiring your peers & delivering quality software every day.

Our team brings together three critical domains of the Nando’s eCommerce platform. The Locate domain is key to discovering restaurant capabilities during online ordering third-party integrations, helping communicate to our customers and other systems what a restaurant can offer. The Menu domain’s primary objective is to support the business in presenting menu items digitally, effectively translating the physical menu into a seamless digital experience. The Payment domain covers everything related to getting money in for our eCommerce journeys, making integration with our payment provider a critical responsibility.
As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in developing and enhancing the digital experience across these domains. Your primary responsibility will be to work on end-to-end projects, providing APIs and connecting them with the frontend experience on both web and app platforms. Collaboration with other domain teams within the Customer Digital space will be a key aspect of your role, ensuring smooth integration and leveraging collective expertise to deliver the overall customer experience. You will be responsible for developing elegant solutions to match multi-variant business requirements and building high-throughput systems to support our operations.
