The Opportunity:

You will be the Engineering Manager of the Availability Planning and Experiences frontend team. The team consists of 7 frontend web engineers working on JavaScript and TypeScript codebases using the React framework. This position is a hybrid position in our San Francisco office with a requirement of at least 2 days a week in the office.

The team maintains and develops the frontend of the Availability Planning portion of the OpenTable for Restaurants web application. Availability Planning is OpenTable's control panel. It is where a Restaurant goes to define their schedule and shifts, as well as the placement of their tables; and it has tons of settings to control how those tables are utilized by their diners. As we keep adding more controls, we are always thinking about how we can ensure these controls interact with each other in sensible ways, and how we can give Restaurants tons of power without making it too complex for them to use.

The team also owns Experiences, which provides an increasing number of ways in which Restaurants can define interesting and unique events for their customers to attend. An example of an Experience is a custom menu offered for a local Restaurant Week event. Experiences can be configured to allow prepayment and can be offered at different price points. Experiences can affect the availability of tables (for example, a table might be exclusive to an Experience) and therefore it is increasingly intertwined with Availability Planning.
