You’ll join as one of Elyra’s earliest hires and help build the intelligence behind the world’s best restaurants. Your code won’t simply live behind a screen, it will run live service, fill dining rooms, and shape what restaurant software becomes next. From the moment you ship, its impact is felt across thousands of guest interactions.

Guest-facing agents. AI agents that answer real phone calls, handle email end-to-end, and manage online bookings, all working together to give every guest a fast, personal response.
An agent-operated platform. An internal agent lets restaurant teams run and configure Elyra through conversation, from onboarding a restaurant and adjusting opening hours to changing floor plans, without spending hours in settings pages.
A unified knowledge brain. One shared source of truth on guests, visit history, preferences, tables, and house rules that agents and staff both work from. The voice agent on a call and the host at the door know the same things.
The engine underneath. A real-time availability engine computing bookable slots across floor plans, table combinations, and party sizes hundreds of thousands of times a day. It needs to be fast enough to answer a voice agent mid-sentence and smart enough to place a guest where the human host would.

What we’re looking for

A strong product engineer who ships end-to-end: you take a problem from idea to production and own the result.
Fluent in TypeScript and comfortable across the stack (we run React, Hono, and Postgres/Supabase in a strictly-typed monorepo).
Experienced with building on LLMs: agents, tool use, voice.
High standards. An obsession with clean, modular code and innovative solutions.
You want ownership and pace. Everything we ship matters the same day it merges restaurants don't get a second chance at Friday night.

What you get

Founding-level equity and influence on product and technical direction.
Production scale from day one: your code answers phones, fills dining rooms, and runs the service of the restaurants.
A small, dedicated team, no bureaucracy, and a codebase kept deliberately clean so all the ambition goes into the product not the plumbing.

If you want your code to be the backbone of the best restaurants then come build with us.
