In this role, you will take ownership of our full-stack architecture—spanning modern frontend frameworks, content management systems, delivery infrastructure, and caching layers—to accelerate publishing velocity and ensure exceptional brand presentation. You will partner cross-functionally with design, product, and marketing to build reusable landing page capabilities and integrate emerging AI-assisted content workflows. Working across our distributed team in Toronto and Lithuania, you will also evaluate next-generation headless CMS architectures and edge platforms to support enterprise scale.

• Evaluate and lead platform modernization initiatives, including assessing headless CMS platforms, hybrid architectures, and structured content integrations.
• Collaborate closely with design, content, and product marketing stakeholders to translate brand standards and campaign objectives into scalable technical solutions.
• Incorporate AI-assisted tooling and workflows responsibly into content operations, software development, and performance optimization.
• Uphold high engineering standards through comprehensive automated testing, thoughtful code reviews, and structured performance benchmarking.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience delivering and operating production web applications and content-driven platforms.
• Demonstrated full-stack development experience across modern frontend technologies and backend application runtimes (such as PHP, Node.js, or related ecosystems).
• Hands-on experience architecting, customizing, or managing enterprise content management systems (such as WordPress or equivalent platforms).
• Comprehensive understanding of web networking and edge performance fundamentals, including DNS, HTTP, CDN edge caching, and browser rendering optimization.
• Proven track record collaborating with cross-functional non-technical stakeholders to deliver scalable digital experiences from discovery to deployment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing and scaling production environments utilizing WordPress, PHP, and web server infrastructure (e.g., Apache or Nginx).
• Hands-on experience configuring and tuning enterprise edge networks and CDNs such as Akamai, Cloudflare, or Fastly.
• Familiarity with headless or decoupled CMS architectures, API-first content distribution, and structured content modeling.
• Experience designing high-converting B2B landing page systems with strong attention to web accessibility (WCAG), SEO, and Core Web Vitals.
• Experience implementing AI-driven workflows for content generation, automation, or metadata tagging.

The best connections happen face-to-face, whether you’re sitting down to dinner or having coffee with a coworker. That’s why OpenTable has adopted a hybrid workplace model. This role aligns with that approach, with an expectation of coming into the office two days a week—giving employees the best of both worlds: in-person collaboration and flexibility.

There are a variety of factors that go into determining a compensation range, including but not limited to external market benchmark data, geographic location, and years of experience sought/required.

We offer a competitive base salary and benefits including: health benefits, retirement benefits; life insurance; paid time off (including PTO, paid sick leave, medical leave, bereavement leave, floating holidays and paid holidays); and parental leave benefits. This role is eligible to be considered for an annual bonus and equity grant.

Work Environment & Flexibility

At OpenTable, we pride ourselves on fostering a global and dynamic work environment. As a team member with us, you will benefit from a schedule tailored to accommodate a global workforce operating across multiple time zones. While the majority of your responsibilities may align with conventional business hours, there will be instances where you are expected to manage communications - via calls, Slack messages, or emails - outside of regular working hours to effectively collaborate with international colleagues, respond to restaurant partners, and/or address urgent matters. OpenTable will always abide by and consider local laws and regulations.

Inclusion

We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong and can thrive. We know the best ideas come when we bring different voices to the table, so we're building a team as dynamic as the diners and restaurants we serve—and fostering a culture where everyone feels welcome to be themselves.

If you need accommodations during the application or interview process, or on the job, we’re here to support you. Please reach out to your recruiter to request any accommodations.
