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.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305

Page 1 of 1

OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
