Founding ML Engineer

## About the role We're building something new at the intersection of Generative AI, Agentic AI, and the restaurant industry — and we're looking for a Founding Engineer to join us at the ground floor. This isn't just another engineering role. As one of the first hires, you'll help shape the product, culture, and trajectory of the company. You'll work directly with the founders to bring a bold vision to life, from prototypes to production systems, in a space that touches millions of people daily. ## What you'll do - Architect and build core systems from scratch (0→1 product development) - Work across the stack (backend, frontend, infrastructure, integrations) - Collaborate closely with founders on product and technical strategy - Experiment rapidly, ship fast, and iterate with real users - Play a key role in defining company culture and technical best practices ## What we're looking for - Strong software engineering background (3–7+ years ideal, but open) - Experience with big data systems (data pipelines, analytics, real-time insights) - Familiarity or strong interest in Generative AI and Agentic AI applications - Experience building and scaling products (bonus if early-stage startup experience) - Comfort moving fast, wearing multiple hats, and thriving in ambiguity - Curiosity and creativity—willing to think beyond the obvious solutions - An ownership mindset—you care about outcomes, not just code ## Why join us - Opportunity to apply Gen AI and Agentic AI to a massive, underserved industry - Work directly with experienced founders who have scaled companies before - Huge opportunity for impact—your work will shape the company's DNA - Above market equity (we believe early builders should be true owners) - Be part of something ambitious, from day zero ## We're keeping the details quiet for now, but here's what we can share We're reimagining how restaurants interact with AI. It's a massive market, ripe for innovation, and we're already in conversations with early pilot partners. ## If you're excited by the idea of joining a stealth AI venture at the very beginning — let's talk.
