Remote-First

Olo builds the software restaurant brands use to run digital ordering on their own apps and sites, keeping the guest relationship with the brand instead of a marketplace. It started in 2005 by texting orders to restaurant printers, two years before the iPhone. Most of the team works remotely across the U.S., with the New York headquarters optional for those nearby.

Olo's Remote Policy

From Olo's careers page: "With 75% of our team working remotely across the U.S., we believe in inclusive and flexible work that integrates with your life." (People & Culture)

Olo's job postings state it this way: "We are remote-friendly. Since 2015, we have been evolving our culture to continue to support a more distributed workforce and now over 75% of our team works remotely across the U.S. If you are in the New York City area, you can choose to work remotely or from Olo's headquarters."

Why Olo

Olo's platform covers the parts of a restaurant's digital business that guests never see by name: ordering and menu management across locations, catering and in-store pickup, delivery dispatch, and payments through Olo Pay. It connects into a large network of restaurant technology partners rather than trying to own the entire stack. The engineering side is Microsoft-centric, with C#, F#, and .NET running on AWS alongside Kafka streaming, Kubernetes, and Terraform. Olo traded on the NYSE from 2021 until Thoma Bravo's take-private closed in September 2025, so it is now a privately held, PE-backed company.

The culture framework is a restaurant metaphor Olo actually uses: Olo E.A.T.S. Together, four ingredients named Engage, Attract, Train, and Support. Learning is where that framework gets concrete, through the GROW leadership development program. A Belfast engineering posting asks candidates to use Claude Code and GitHub Copilot as part of their daily workflow and puts them through hands-on AI training. Olo publishes no async-first or core-hours policy, and on-call responsibilities are set by the team an engineer is assigned to.
