Job description

How We Work At Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A, Inc. ('Chick-fil-A' or 'the Company') Staff members play a vital role in achieving our strategic goals by developing their skills, fostering inclusive teamwork, and embracing innovation. All Staff are expected to contribute to a compelling future by inspiring and motivating those around them. Growth and development are essential at Chick-fil-A. We want Staff to seek new perspectives and adopt new methods to drive continuous improvement and adaptation to evolving business needs. Lastly, we ask Staff to seek wisdom, expect the best, accept responsibility, respond with courage, and think others first.

Our Flexible Futures Model offers a healthy mix of working in person (currently a minimum of 8-10 days per month) and virtually, strengthening key elements of the Chick-fil-A culture by fostering collaboration and community.

Overview

This role will serve Chick-fil-A franchise Operators and the Company as a product engineer, collaborating with stakeholders not only in Restaurant Financial Services and DTT to deliver outcomes that make a difference for Operators and the Company. You will be considered an AI and engineering wizard, even though you’ll only be moving through the traditional three loops of the SDLC—just without being the bottleneck yourself. You will bring clarity, speak to feasibility, and ultimately be responsible for engineering output of yourself, your team of Staff or External engineers, and the agents you and your teams use. You could build Financial Stewardship tools used by Operators to design and build a profitable business; or you might build tools used by Team Members that make their day just a little bit brighter as they serve Customers; or you might find yourself transforming legacy tools for the future or inventing something that we haven't even thought of yet.

Responsibilities

Influence solution architecture decisions for your teams

Lead delivery and operations of the team’s product, including both individual contribution and support as well as delegated tasks and support to your team’s engineers. We desire our lead engineers to be both leads and engineers, spending about half of their time on leading others and half contributing engineering work themselves.

Identify & propose emerging software engineering technologies, methodologies and/or approaches

Note - Working in a DevOps model, this opportunity includes both building and running solutions that could require off hours support. This support is sharedamongst the team members to coverweekends and weeknights. The goal is to design for failure and, using cloud-native infrastructure patterns, automate responses to possible issues so they can be worked during normal hours.
