About Loop: At Loop, we’re revolutionizing restaurant operations with AI-powered automation. Our technology helps restaurants streamline their workflows, reduce costs, and enhance customer experiences—all through intelligent automation. We’re a fast-moving, early-stage startup on a rapid growth trajectory, and we need a technical leader to build and scale our engineering team from the ground up.
Why Join Loop?
Founding Engineering Leadership: You’ll be the first engineering manager, shaping the team, culture, and technical direction.
High-Impact Role: Work directly with the founders to build AI agents that transform the restaurant industry.
Growth Journey: Help scale a startup from early-stage chaos to a market-leading company.
Cutting-Edge AI: We’re not just another SaaS company—we’re pushing the boundaries of AI automation in food-tech.
What You’ll Do:
- Build & Lead: Hire and mentor a world-class engineering team (starting small, but growing fast).
- Ship Fast & Smart: Drive technical execution—design, architecture, and hands-on coding when needed.
- Solve Hard Problems: Optimize AI agents, scale infrastructure, and ensure reliability for real-world restaurant operations.
