About the role

  • We're hiring Builders - people who can wear every hat and ship products that blow people's minds.
  • You'll use AI tools to move at 10x speed, but you'll understand what's happening under the hood.
  • Where We Need Builders Today Reporting & Management Application.

Responsibilities

  • Design the experience. Sketch UIs, prototype interactions, and make product decisions. You don't need to be a trained designer, but you need taste and empathy for the person standing at the kiosk.
  • Build simple MVPs and ship them quickly from 0 to 1. Dream up new architecture to solve challenging problems. Rethink and recreate existing codebases for scale.
  • Build with AI. Use LLMs, copilots, and AI development tools to move at 10x speed. Understand how to leverage AI models in production - not just as toys. You get an unlimited token budget as long as you keep shipping great work.
  • Work with a small interdisciplinary team in hardware, software, and design to build new versions of products from scratch.
  • Support what you ship. When something breaks at a customer site, you feel it. Continuously improve and maintain code that's already in production.
  • You're deeply technical. 5+ years shipping production software. Excellent knowledge of one or more of: Python, Node.js, C++, Go, C#, Java. Experience building production-ready code that's used regularly by lots of people.
  • You think like a product person. You don't just ask "how should I build this?" - you ask "should we build this at all?" and "what would make this 10x better for the user?"
  • If you could credibly start a company tomorrow and do every job yourself - engineering, design, product, support - you're the kind of person we're looking for.
  • We maintain a flat, high-impact engineering culture where every engineer who joins our team carries the title of Member of Technical Staff.
  • You'll need to get inside the heads of stadium operators, c-store managers, and university dining directors to understand what numbers matter to them and how to surface insights that drive real decisions.

Requirements

  • You have side projects, open source contributions, or a startup in your past (or future).
  • 5+ years shipping production software.
  • Excellent knowledge of one or more of: Python, Node.js, C++, Go, C#, Java.
  • You can go start a company.
