Full Job Posting

  • Take ambiguous product ideas from zero to shipped - design, build, deploy, and iterate, largely on your own.
  • Build AI-native features (agents, RAG, tool-use, structured outputs, evals) as core product, not bolted-on demos.
  • Own the full stack: frontend, backend, data, model integration, and the glue in between.
  • Stand up the feedback loops - evals, telemetry, fast iteration - that make AI products reliable in production.
  • Make pragmatic build-vs-buy calls and keep the team on the frontier of what models can do.
  • Partner closely with product and operations to turn real restaurant problems into shipped solutions.
  • Raise the bar on velocity and product taste for everyone around you.
  • Hands-on experience building with LLM APIs and SDKs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open models) - writing code against the models, not wiring up no-code/automation tools.
  • Strong full-stack ability: you can own a feature from database to UI without waiting on anyone (TypeScript / Python and a modern web stack).
  • At least 8 years of professional software engineering experience, with 3+ years building and shipping production full-stack applications.
  • A builder first: a public trail - open-source repos, side projects, demos, or products with real users - that shows what you ship when no one's telling you what to do.
  • AI-first by default: you reach for models to solve problems, keep up with the ecosystem without being told to, and know what works in production vs. what's just a nice demo.
  • Product-minded: you care about the user and the outcome, not just the diff - you can decide what to build, not only how .
  • Fast: you compress weeks into days, shipping and iterating instead of polishing in private.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and a small, fast-moving team.
  • A meaningful open-source project people actually use (stars, forks, downloads, dependents).
  • AI apps you launched solo that gained real traction.
  • Experience with agent/eval frameworks, vector stores, and production LLM tooling.
  • A history of being early - building in a space before it was obvious.
  • Contributions to leading AI or developer-tool projects.
  • Experience in marketplaces, logistics/delivery, or restaurant/local-commerce tech.
  • Personal computer or laptop with up-to-date software
  • High-speed internet connection
  • Keyboard, mouse, working webcam, and headset with a microphone
  • Primary 24” monitor (with an additional 24” monitor preferred)
