Software Developer, Full Stack Developer, Software Engineer

7shifts is a scheduling and payroll platform designed to help restaurant teams thrive. With an easy-to-use app and industry-specific solutions, 7shifts saves time, reduces errors, and helps keep costs in check for over 55,000 restaurants.

Our mission is to simplify team management and improve performance for restaurants, with a long-term vision of creating a thriving restaurant industry through the power of connected & engaged teams.

As a  Software Developer  at 7shifts, you’ll build features used every day by over 1.5 million restaurant workers, helping teams stay staffed, compliant, and supported through their busiest shifts. You’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering partners to solve real problems and deliver outcomes that matter, not just ship features. You’ll report to an Engineering Manager and be part of a collaborative, cross‑functional team that strikes a balance between speed and quality, while maintaining close connections to our customers.

You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you’re curious and thoughtful about using modern tools, including AI, to reduce friction, improve productivity, and support high‑quality delivery, while ensuring anything you ship is accurate, secure, and clearly owned. You’ll get exposure to a large, evolving codebase and multiple areas of the product, with a strong emphasis on ownership, reliability, and impact.

We’re growing across several teams and experience levels, and team alignment will be based on experience, strengths, and business needs.

What you’ll do:

Build and ship high‑quality product features so restaurant teams can run their day‑to‑day work more smoothly

Translate product and business needs into clear technical solutions by breaking down requirements and making thoughtful implementation choices

Write clean, reliable code across frontend and backend systems so the product stays fast, secure, and easy to maintain

Work closely with product and design to shape solutions that are usable, accessible, and solve the right problems

Review code and improve existing systems to keep the codebase healthy and easier to work in over time

Support your work through testing, deployment, and post‑release fixes so customers can trust what we ship to production

Collaborate with your team through planning and delivery to keep work aligned and moving forward

Identify and address issues early, so we can reduce complexity and improve system reliability over time

What you bring:

A degree or diploma in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Hands‑on experience building and shipping web applications, with a solid understanding of how databases work in production

Strong problem‑solving ability, turning unclear or messy requirements into clear, working solutions

Comfort working in an existing codebase, improving and maintaining systems over time, rather than only building from scratch

Practical judgment when identifying and fixing technical issues, with an eye toward maintainability

Clear communication and a collaborative approach, including asking questions early and learning from feedback

Curiosity and drive, demonstrated through personal projects, self‑directed learning, or stepping into new technical areas

Thoughtful use of AI tools to support productivity and quality, with a focus on accuracy, ownership, and responsible use

It’d be even cooler if you had:

Previous experience in the restaurant‑tech industry
