We're tackling AI challenges that giants have struggled with for years - and we're solving them.

We're backed by leading seed investors including SignalFire, Correlation Ventures, Y Combinator, and an amazing list of high-impact angels.

You'll work on challenging problems in natural language processing, speech recognition, and real-time systems that directly impact thousands of customer interactions daily. This is a unique opportunity to join a well-funded startup at an early stage and help shape the future of restaurant operations.

Why you should join:

  1. Technical Innovation: You'll work with cutting-edge AI technologies, including LLMs and speech recognition systems, solving complex challenges in real-time environments.

  2. Real Impact: Your work will directly influence how millions of customers interact with restaurants, creating tangible improvements in efficiency and customer experience.

  3. Growth Potential: As an early team member, you'll have significant input into technical decisions and architecture, with clear paths for career advancement.

  4. Strong Backing: We're supported by top-tier investors and have the resources to execute our vision while maintaining the agility of a startup.

  5. Collaborative Culture: Join a tight-knit team of experienced builders who value both technical excellence and practical results.

Our founding team brings deep expertise from successful startups and major tech companies. We've previously scaled products from zero to millions of users and have experience building and deploying complex AI systems. We value collaboration, practical innovation, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

If you're excited about applying AI to solve real-world problems, working in a fast-paced environment, and helping shape the future of restaurant technology, we'd love to talk to you. Join us in revolutionizing how restaurants operate and how customers experience food ordering.
