Software Engineer – Integrations
<p><em>Join Kanpla's Integrations focus team and help build the connections that make our platform indispensable to customers — from food management systems to ERPs and our public API.</em></p><h3>Why this role matters</h3><p>Integrations are what turn Kanpla from a great product into a critical one. Every connection we build — to food management systems, ERPs, payment providers, identity systems — extends what Kanpla can do for our customers and deepens the value we deliver. For many of our customers, integrations aren't a nice-to-have; they're make-or-break.</p><p>This role sits at the heart of that. You'll be helping us make Kanpla more capable, more connected, and more essential to the daily operations of the businesses we serve.</p><h3>About Kanpla</h3><p>We build the platform that powers contract catering across Europe and the US.

We're investing in a single, robust platform and developer experience so our teams can move faster and with more confidence.</p><h3>Our current stack</h3><ul><li><p><strong>Cloud:</strong><span> </span>GCP and Vercel (We favor managed cloud solutions).</p></li><li><p><strong>Data:</strong><span> </span>Firestore as the primary operational database.
