Tech Lead

🦄 About Flipdish

At Flipdish, we're proud to be an Irish unicorn (valued at over $1bn) on a mission to help independent restaurants flippin' thrive in a world transformed by technology. While Flipdish has grown rapidly, our focus has always remained on our customers and their needs. We're more than just an all-in-one technology ecosystem—we're a team deeply committed to supporting the people behind the food industry.

We go the extra mile to truly understand our customers (even putting our C-suite to work on the frontlines). With roots in the industry, we've worked in busy kitchens and managed thriving restaurant franchises.

At Flipdish, we give independent operators and chains the tools to compete, grow on their own terms, and fall back in love with what they do best.

About this role…

As part of our continued growth, we're looking for a Tech Lead to join our RMS Core team - creating stand out experiences that allow our clients to self serve across our platforms.

The RMS Core team has a particular focus on enabling the clients with POS's functionality. RMS offers a suite of products including but not limited to Point of Sale, Kitchen Display System, Menu Management, Public APIs for integrators and much more. Our main goal is to provide our clients with a standout management platform for all their Restaurant Management services.

This role is ideal for someone with previous experience as a tech lead, or as a senior developer responsible for creating new and standout products. You should have previous experience working in the cloud, preferably using serverless architecture. You should have a passion for technology and be willing to take on new challenges and input to the company's growth. This is a front-end leaning role with the focus being on React and Typescript, although the expectation is that you are able and willing to work across the entire vertical for the team.

In this job, you'll…

• Work with a PM and EM to help manage and run the team
• Deeply understand our customers and their problems, ensuring that the team is always focused on the right thing
• Lead architectural decisions and help evolve our Golden Path - shaping how we build, deploy, observe, and scale services across Flipdish in AWS & Azure
• Be hands on developing our client platforms
• Act as a multiplier by mentoring engineers, driving best practices, and fostering knowledge-sharing across teams
• Advocate for, and implement automation wherever possible
• Help the team adopt AI tools and capabilities – identifying valuable use cases and making it easier for others to explore, prototype, and safely integrate AI into their workflows

We're looking for…

• 2+ years experience as a technical leader, with real-world experience setting direction and influencing teams
• 8+ years of development experience, working with React, Typescript and C#/Java, using Domain Driven Design and Event Driven Architectures
• Proven ability to work across the full stack, owning your own vertical slice of the product
• Solid experience in Azure/AWS, particularly with core serverless technologies (e.g. Lambda, DynamoDB), and a track record of building reliable, scalable systems. Azure experience is preferable
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills – the ability to build trust across teams and explain technical concepts clearly
• Experience mentoring engineers and helping grow a strong engineering culture
• A proactive problem-solver who thrives in ambiguity and can distil complexity into pragmatic, scalable solutions

🫀 Our culture

At this point, you might expect the usual spiel about how great a place Flipdish is to work at and how great our work culture is (and it is!). But, this all depends on our employees. And that's because we trust our employees to define what sort of an employer Flipdish is.

Transparency is hugely important to us. We listen to one another. We collaborate. And we give everyone a way to grow their careers through a supportive environment.

We're focused on getting the most out of our time together, output and team energy is at the heart of our hub based philosophy - not an attendance ticking exercise!

So, if you want to join a genuinely friendly team, take a look at our current openings and get in touch. And if you don't see an opening just yet, do get in touch and register your interest with us anyway. We'll be in touch as soon as something suitable opens up.

🙈 Don't be shy. Apply.

We know that imposter syndrome can be a thing. Don't let it be. We want enthusiastic people from all backgrounds. If you feel like you're up for working with us, get in touch.

We also understand neurodivergent candidates might need assistance. That's not a problem in the slightest. Just reach out to us, we'd love to hear from you.
