Fullstack software engineer

Join our Movement and Champion Restaurant Culture!

At TheFork we believe that the best things in life happen around the table. As the leading restaurant booking platform in Europe, we connect the broadest community of loyal diners with the world’s favourite restaurants. Powered by innovation and a deep passion for the restaurant industry, we create unique dining experiences across 11 countries.

We’re part of the Tripadvisor Group and proud to be building a diverse, people‑first culture where “respect”, “ownership”, “growth” and “better together” values thrive. If you’re passionate about food, technology, and making a real impact, your seat at the table is ready.

What you will do

You’ll work on problems that sit at the intersection of product, engineering, data, operations, and AI.

• Help restaurants activate faster and get more value from TheFork.
• Improve monetisation, upsell, product discovery, or referral loops.
• Expose useful data and recommendations to restaurants or internal teams.
• Automate repetitive workflows for Customer Care, Sales, Moderation, or Operations.
• Build internal tools that help teams move faster without adding more process.
• Prototype AI agents, MCP workflows, CLI‑based automations, or internal copilots.
• Reduce operational costs by turning fragmented data and manual work into reliable systems.

These projects range from clean product features to scrappy prototypes, deep dives into existing systems, and solving messy business problems without obvious solutions.

You won’t be expected to solve everything alone; you’ll work with experienced engineers, Product, Data, and business teams to understand the problem, contribute to the solution, and grow your ownership over time.

How we think about engineering

We care about impact that changes real situations: a restaurant activating faster, a sales team saving time, a support workflow becoming simpler, a moderation process costing less, or an internal team making better decisions because the right data is finally available.

We ask questions before building, prototype to learn faster, design clean systems for long‑term investment, and write reliable software when reliability matters more than cleverness. AI and automation are tools, not decoration. They should remove repetitive work, speed decision‑making, or help engineers increase leverage.

The technical stack used by the team

In the Growth & GTM team, we mainly work with:

• Node.js, TypeScript, React, GraphQL.
• DBT, AWS Glue, Hightouch.
• GitHub Copilot, Claude, AI CLI tools, MCP workflows.

Across TheFork, you may also interact with Kubernetes, AWS, RabbitMQ, and some legacy PHP/Symfony services. You don’t need to have used every tool; solid technical foundations, curiosity, and fast learning matter more than exact stack matching.

Who you are

You Must Meet These Critical Qualifications

We’re not looking for someone who has already worked on every topic listed above. We want someone with solid engineering foundations, curiosity, product sensitivity, and the willingness to learn how to turn ambiguous problems into useful software.

• You are a backend or full‑stack engineer.
• You have experience building web applications, backend services, APIs, or distributed systems.
• You have solid foundations in at least part of our core stack, especially Node.js, TypeScript, React, or GraphQL.
• You care about product and business impact, not only technical output.
• You are curious and comfortable asking questions when the problem is not fully clear.
• You can contribute to turning a loosely defined problem into shipped software.
• You enjoy working with Product, Data, Sales, Customer Success, Customer Care, and Operations.
• You are curious about AI, automation, agents, CLI tools, and modern engineering workflows.
• You care about reliability, maintainability, security, observability, and user trust.
• You communicate clearly in English.

You Can Impress With These Additions

Nice to have:

• You already use tools like Copilot, Claude, CLI agents, MCP workflows, or custom automations to work differently.
• You have worked on B2B SaaS, growth, monetisation, onboarding, sales‑assist, or product‑led growth topics.
• You have built internal tools, automations, or operational workflows that saved time or reduced costs.
• You are comfortable with data pipelines, reverse ETL, analytics engineering, or customer data platforms.
• You have experience with PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, DBT, AWS Glue, Hightouch, Datadog, or Grafana.

Why this is interesting

Restaurants are one of the most operationally complex industries in Europe. A lot of value is still trapped in manual workflows, fragmented data, and software that does not yet do enough of the work. This creates room for engineering leverage. A better onboarding flow can help thousands of restaurants activate faster. A smarter monetisation flow can move revenue. A good internal automation can save hundreds of hours. A useful data product can change how teams make decisions. A pragmatic AI workflow can remove repetitive work and let people focus on higher‑value problems.
