Hands-On System Building: You will actively write and review mission-critical code in React, Redux, TypeScript, and JavaScript. This role requires continuous deep engagement with the codebase to drive performance and maintainability.
Architectural Ownership: Define and implement the technical vision for the Availability Planning system. You will own system design and execution, focusing on creating intuitive and scalable UI architectures that can manage immense complexity.
Frontend Mastery & Quality: Design and build elegant, reusable abstractions and an integrated layer between the UI and backend. You will set a high standard for quality, driving sophisticated testing strategies using React Testing Library, Jest, and Cypress.
Technical Elevation: Act as a force multiplier, elevating the coding standards and practices of the entire team through meticulous code reviews and mentorship.
This posting is for an existing vacancy.

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; flexible spending account; 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.
