👋 About Us

At sunday, we’re transforming the dining experience with fast, seamless payments. No more waiting for the bill — with one scan, guests pay, tip, and leave. We're creating a world where time is better spent enjoying the moment.

We’re a growing team of bold thinkers, builders, and creators, working across Europe and North America to bring better hospitality to life.

💼 About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer to drive quality, scalability, and velocity in how we deliver guest-facing experiences.

This role sits at the intersection of backend and frontend engineering. You’ll lead by example, own complex features end-to-end, and help define how we build fast, maintainable, and user-friendly systems at scale.

We’re looking for someone who’s hands-on, product-minded, and excited to shape engineering practices across teams.

🔥 Key Responsibilities

  • Build and own cross-functional features that touch React + TypeScript frontends and Kotlin-based APIs
  • Drive technical decisions and contribute to architecture discussions, especially around modularity, observability, and performance
  • Collaborate closely with design, product, and other engineers to ship high-impact features quickly and iteratively
  • Bring clarity in ambiguous contexts: define API contracts, propose scalable patterns, and structure technical delivery
  • Contribute to improving our design system, frontend tooling, and shared services
  • Help guide code quality via reviews, mentoring, and shared engineering standards
  • Document technical decisions (via ADRs) and communicate them clearly across the org


😊 About You

  • minimum 5+ years of experience building production-grade web apps, with a strong focus on quality and ownership
  • Deep proficiency in React and TypeScript, with an eye for scalable and clean front-end architecture
  • Comfortable working with Kotlin or a similar backend language to build and evolve APIs (we have java legacy)
  • Familiar with relational (PostgreSQL) and document databases (Firestore or similar)
  • Experience building modular frontends, reusable components, and evolving design systems
  • Autonomous, pragmatic, and capable of balancing speed with tech debt management
  • Excellent communicator (written and verbal), especially in async, distributed environments

🖥️ Technical Edge

You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but the more of these boxes you tick, the better:

  • Experience with backend for frontend and modular architecture
  • Knowledge of OAuth flows, session management, and API security best practices
  • Understanding of frontend security (XSS, CSRF, sandboxing)
  • Familiar with logging, tracing, and performance monitoring tools (Datadog)
  • Experience working on guest-facing apps in hospitality, payments, or consumer tech

🎯 Why This Role Matters

sunday is growing fast — and with that comes complexity. We’re scaling across products, markets, and teams. This role is about helping us bring clarity to that complexity.

You’ll play a key part in shaping the way we build and scale the front-end at sunday, making sure our guest-facing experiences are fast, delightful, and resilient — no matter how big we get.

⛳️ Compensation, Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive salary (70 to 85k euros depending on seniority) and equity
  • Remote-first friendly culture with flexible working hours
  • The chance to build products used by millions across the globe
  • 100% health coverage for you and your children
  • Free vacation policy
  • Opportunity for significant impact in shaping data strategies and innovative product development within a high-growth environment
