We’re hiring a Tech Lead to drive the architecture, development, and evolution of our proprietary Operating System. This platform supports end-to-end kitchen operations including procurement, production planning, stock control, order fulfillment, and reporting.

This is a remote role, but you’ll work closely with onsite teams across operations, product, and executive leadership. The ideal candidate is not tied to a specific tech stack, but rather excels at solving problems, designing scalable systems, and leading cross-functional engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the technical vision and architecture for the Operating System
• Design and build robust backend systems, APIs, and integrations that power real-time kitchen operations
• Collaborate with product managers and operational stakeholders to understand needs and translate them into technical solutions
• Work across the full stack when needed (e.g., Node.js, React, Kotlin, GCP, PostgreSQL, etc.) but focus on solving the problem—not just the tool
• Guide and mentor a distributed team of developers, ensuring code quality, best practices, and delivery velocity
• Lead technical hiring efforts, help structure the team, and grow engineering capabilities internally
• Ensure the platform is scalable, maintainable, and aligned with business goals
• Work with external vendors or contractors where necessary to speed up delivery and manage quality

Requirements

6+ years of experience in software development, with 2+ years in a technical leadership role

Proven track record of building and scaling complex platforms or internal systems

Strong ability to work across multiple tech stacks and pick up new tools quickly

Experience with backend (e.g., Node.js, Python), frontend (e.g., React), and cloud platforms (e.g., GCP or AWS)

Deep understanding of system design, APIs, databases, and software architecture

Excellent communication and leadership skills—able to work remotely and still build strong alignment with teams

Bonus: experience in F&B tech, ERP, or inventory management systems
