Engineering Manager (Network/Platform)

About SpotOn

We're not just building restaurant tech—we're giving independent restaurants the tools to compete and win. From our award-winning point-of-sale to AI-powered profit tools, everything we do helps operators boost profit, work smarter, and keep their best people. And every solution is backed by real humans who actually give a sh*t about helping restaurants succeed.

• Named the #1 Restaurant POS by G2 (Fall 2025), based on ratings from real users
• Rated the top-rated point-of-sale (POS) for restaurants, bars, retail, and small businesses by Capterra users
• Awarded Great Places to Work and Built In's Best Workplaces for multiple years running

We move fast, care hard, and fight for independent restaurant operators to do what they love, and love doing it. If you're looking to make an impact with heart and hustle, SpotOn is the place for you.

The Client Environments team is the bridge between SpotOn's cloud and the physical restaurant network — managing the routers, access points, POS Android devices, and monitoring systems that keep restaurants online. We treat merchant sites as first-class infrastructure, applying platform engineering discipline to field networks.

We're seeking a Platform Engineering Manager to lead this evolution — combining technical leadership, operational rigor, and systems thinking to turn reactive support into reliable, observable, and self-healing environments.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and mentor engineers across Network and Android (Elo) systems — building a strong culture of ownership and reliability.

• Drive GitOps adoption for network and device configuration, ensuring deployments are consistent, testable, and reversible.
  
• Oversee MDM and device lifecycle management (Elo tablets, Android handhelds), ensuring clean provisioning and policy enforcement.
  
• Run the operational loop : stay close to client incidents, analyze recurring issues, and drive root-cause elimination through system changes, automation, and better visibility.
  Collaborate with Core Services (Device Registry, MDM, Sidecar) and NOC to improve observability, alerting, and response workflows.
  
• Standardize configurations and rollout models (base + overlays) to eliminate variance across restaurant networks.
  
• Design for resilience : enable cellular failover, LTE monitoring, and automated recovery patterns through controllers.
  Own service quality metrics — uptime, response time, issue recurrence — and report progress on reliability improvements.
  

What Success Looks Like

• Merchant networks and devices are fully managed through GitOps , with versioned configuration and clear audit trails.
  
  
• Elo device management (via MDM) is automated, observable, and zero-touch.
  
  
• On-site visits and repeat network incidents drop significantly due to systemic fixes.
  
  
• The team is operationally excellent — closing the loop between monitoring, alerts, and proactive resolution.
  

Client environments are treated with the same reliability, observability, and governance as SpotOn's cloud infrastructure.
