WHO WE ARE
We’re not in the wing business. We’re in the flavor business. It’s been our mission to Serve the World Flavor since we first opened in 1994, and we’re just getting started. 1997 saw the opening of our first brand partner operated Wingstop location, and by 2002 we had served the world one billion wings. It’s flavor that defines us and has made Wingstop one of the fastest growing brands in the restaurant industry.
Above all else – our success is largely due to our people and our core values, or what we call The Wingstop Way of being entrepreneurial, service-minded, fun, and authentic. We believe having a strong people foundation centered on these collective values creates a crave-worthy culture and talented team, as well as ensures our brand is poised for accelerated growth. We all win together.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to modernize and scale our Restaurant Point-of-Sale (POS) platform through cloud-native architecture and Agentic AI. This role focuses on building resilient, high-performance in-store POS systems, smart kitchen integrations, intelligent inventory workflows, and AI-powered operational agents that directly impact restaurant speed, accuracy, and profitability.
Role Responsibilities

- Design and build responsive, intuitive user interfaces optimized for speed, accuracy, and ease of use in high-volume restaurant environments.
- Design distributed APIs and backend services ensuring high availability, low latency, and offline resilience.
- Integrate POS with payment processors, peripherals (printers, scanners, kitchen displays), and store hardware.
- Develop smart kitchen routing and automated regression suites for POS-to-kitchen integrations.
- Build inventory-aware POS capabilities (item 86ing, substitutions, real-time stock synchronization).
- Design and deploy AI Agents for store troubleshooting, operational decision support, regression analysis, and developer productivity.
- Implement observability, monitoring, CI/CD pipelines, and production deployment best practices.
- Partner with restaurant operations and product teams to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions.
Impact
