Software Engineer - Rust

Our Ambition

We're on a mission to solve some of today's most complex hospitality challenges by building thoughtful, scalable solutions using an open and modern technology stack. Our goal is to create systems that make a real difference for our customers, our restaurant teams, and the communities we serve.

Our Values

At Nando's, our values guide how we work, collaborate, and grow:

• Pride - We care about doing great work and delivering quality outcomes
• Passion - We bring energy and enthusiasm to what we do
• Integrity - We act with honesty, fairness, and accountability
• Courage - We're not afraid to try new things, challenge ideas, and learn
• Family - We support each other, celebrate together, and create a sense of belonging

We look for people who connect with these values and bring them to life in their own way.

The Orders & Fulfilment Team

The Orders & Fulfilment team sits at the heart of Nando's UK & Ireland digital ecosystem. We design, build, and operate the core Online Ordering Platform that powers millions of customer journeys from browsing and ordering through to fulfilment and delivery.

Our team is responsible for:

• Event-driven systems that process high volumes of real-time orders reliably
• Third-party integrations with delivery partners such as Deliveroo and others
• In-restaurant operational tools that support our teams to deliver great customer experiences
• Frontend and API platforms that enable other engineering teams to build efficiently on top of our services

As a mid-level engineer in this team, you'll contribute to systems that are critical to business performance while working in a supportive, collaborative environment. You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of meaningful pieces of work, partner with experienced engineers, and grow your technical and product understanding.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a Software Engineer who enjoys working collaboratively, is curious, and takes pride in delivering high-quality solutions.

At this level, you'll:

• Contribute to the design, development, deployment, and maintenance of scalable systems
• Work across the stack, whether backend services, integrations, or user-facing applications
• Collaborate closely with Technical Leads and teammates to deliver well-structured, maintainable solutions
• Take ownership of features or services, with support where needed

You'll be someone who is comfortable tackling challenges, asking questions, and continuously learning. We'll support your growth through mentorship, training, and opportunities to expand your impact over time.

You'll work with our infrastructure and build pipelines, developing your ability to configure, optimise, and troubleshoot systems to maintain reliability and performance.

Skills & Experience

We don't expect you to have everything listed here on day one. If you meet many of these and are excited about the role, we'd really encourage you to apply.

• Experience with Rust (Essential)
• Exposure to Golang, TypeScript, or React (a bonus)
• Experience working in agile teams and contributing to breaking down work and estimating effort
• Experience working across at least one backend or full-stack environment
• Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly, including how they benefit customers
• Comfortable collaborating with stakeholders and contributing to technical discussions

You Don't Need to Tick Every Box

We know that not everyone will meet every requirement, and that's absolutely okay. If you're excited about this role and feel you could make a positive impact, we strongly encourage you to apply. Your experience, perspective, and potential matter.

Everyone is Welcome

At Nando's, everyone is welcome.

Inspired by our Southern African heritage, we celebrate the richness that diversity brings. We're committed to creating an inclusive and respectful environment where everyone can thrive our people, partners, customers, and communities.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. If you need any adjustments during the recruitment process, we'll work with you to support you in performing at your best.
