At Ordermentum, our purpose is to create a more sustainable food and beverage industry, by helping venues and suppliers trade smarter. Since launching in 2014, we’ve grown a massive network of 43k of your favourite cafes, restaurants and bars (almost half the venues in the country!) ordering $1.5b+ a year from over 900+ local, wholesale suppliers. In September 2023, we announced a new capital raise and our acquisition of the Foodbomb business to further extend our market-leading position.

We are a Sydney-based, fully-funded scale-up of over 100 people that have built a sophisticated cloud-based payment and ordering SaaS application. Our world-class platform performs large numbers of transactions powering the food and beverage industry across Australia.

We are looking for an experienced engineer to lead our Frontend Chapter whose members build the various web applications within our product squads, driving consistency and quality in our codebase. Primarily, we have a web app for each side of our marketplace, i.e. Retailers and Suppliers. Retailers use the web app to submit one off and recurring orders to suppliers, make payments, discover new suppliers, and get other insights. Suppliers use our highly customisable web app as their orders operating system, saving them valuable time in processing orders, taking payments, and integrating with other systems that they use.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the development and maintenance of our Frontend Frameworks as well of our Design Systems
• Run the Frontend Chapter and Mentor other developers on frontend best practices
• Collaborate with Product and Design teams on early design concepts
• Develop functional and appealing components based on usability
• Design and develop rich front-end applications using ReactJS and Tailwind CSS

What you’ll have:

• Experience developing responsive applications using React and Typescript
• Knowledge of design patterns, best practice development and architecture principles (including functional React components and React Hooks)
• Ability to collaborate with designers in figuring out new design ideas and substitutions where required
• Experience working with frontend tooling and infrastructure
• Understanding of unit testing and related frameworks

Behavioural Competencies and Personal Attributes:

• Sweat the details: It’s the small frictions that reduce quality, focus in on them and build the best experience
• Always be learning: A strong codebase is always improving, and we want to regularly bring best practices from the community into the codebase
• Adaptability and Collaborative: User Experience requirements evolve as we build, and as we discover roadblocks we need to work together on the best experience possible.

About our team and tech:

Be part of an engineering team that will scaffold world class software and data and machine learning to drive brand engagement, customer acquisition, sales growth, cost and cash flow efficiencies and business insights like never before between retailers and suppliers.

Our Frontend stack for our web applications is React in Typescript. We use TailwindCSS for styling, with Redux for global state management and SWR for data fetching.

We have unit tests running in Jest with react-testing-library and e2e tests in Playwright.

Our full stack is deployed to the AWS cloud. We use TypeScript backends with PostgreSQL for storage and ElasticSearch for performant searching. Everything is deployed on Kubernetes via our Buildkite pipelines.
