About TableCheck

TableCheck is a global platform built to help restaurants own their guest experience.
We help merchants reduce their reliance on paid booking channels by directly converting first-time diners into repeat guests⁠—and repeat guests into loyal fans.

Used by over 10,000 restaurants in over 30 countries, including top hospitality brands and over 200 Michelin-starred restaurants, TableCheck has set new standards for restaurant management tools in Japan and is steadily growing to take on the challenge of becoming the world’s leader in restaurant management.

We're seeking a talented Software Engineer to join our team. As a member of this team, you will be playing a critical role in shaping our customer-facing applications and contributing to their functionality, performance, and user experience.

We value adaptive individuals, eager to learn from mistakes, and committed to keeping the team well-informed.

Our frontend stack is built with the latest technologies including React, TypeScript, XState, Emotion, Jest, and Cypress. On the Backend, we mainly use Ruby on Rails and MongoDB and we primarily deploy our applications using AWS.
