About First Table
First Table helps diners discover great restaurants while helping restaurants fill their quietest tables.
We’re operating across New Zealand, Australia and the UK, with ambitious growth plans and a mission to become the first place people think of when booking a restaurant.
As we continue to grow, we’re investing heavily in the systems, tools and data that power both our internal teams and our restaurant partners.
The Role
We’re looking for a Backend Engineer who enjoys solving business problems through technology.
This role is focused on building internal systems, automations, integrations and restaurant-facing tools that help the business operate more effectively and create more value for our restaurant partners.
You’ll work closely with teams across Sales, Marketing, Customer Support, Operations, Product and Engineering to understand challenges, identify opportunities and build practical solutions.
Some days you might be creating a new data workflow in Braze. Other days you could be building an internal reporting tool, automating a manual support process, integrating a third-party platform or developing new restaurant-facing functionality.
This is a highly varied role with significant autonomy and direct impact across the business.
