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 Software Engineer experienced in API design and development as part of a full-stack squad building user-facing products. As a member of our team, you will scope, architect, and build critical components that integrate with numerous internal and third-party systems.

TableCheck has embraced remote work. As such, communication and documentation are in our blood. We look for and write about signals in the noise which enables us to constantly learn and adapt, and we expect members of our teams to constantly follow up with questions and updates to keep everyone in the loop.
