OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), powers reservations for the hospitality industry. OpenTable’s software seats more than 1 billion people per year and helps more than 50,000+ restaurants, bars, wineries and other venues attract guests, manage capacity, improve operations and maximize revenue.

As an employee of OpenTable, you will be part of a global network that includes OpenTable and KAYAK's portfolio of metasearch brands including Swoodoo, checkfelix, momondo, Cheapflights, Mundi and HotelsCombined.

We are responsible for building and maintaining the container stack and lifecycle using the latest automation, and configuration management tooling. We're skilled in many different engineering fields and work with a DevOps approach. If the tools don’t exist or meet our needs, we write or script them ourselves - you won't find us doing something more than once. The team has a high impact and works closely with all of the engineering organization at OpenTable. We strive for efficiency, reliability, and velocity while also exploring new technologies that can bring business value and help us achieve company goals.

We provide the following services across the company

• Building and maintaining the container platform (Kubernetes)
• Config management infrastructure administration (Puppet, Ansible)
• CDN & Message Bus (Akamai, Kafka)
• Cloud service operation (AWS)
• Supporting Security efforts
