Gambooza is a purpose-driven startup on a mission to make the global food industry radically more efficient and sustainable. Our AI-powered solution helps food businesses measure operations, detect inefficiencies, and reduce food waste.

We combine AI and a deep understanding of the food chain to help food companies take control of their waste. Whether it's optimizing prep in kitchens, operations on shops, or food waste of customers, Gambooza makes data-driven action seamless and scalable.

We're already trusted by leading companies and supported by top European accelerators like Lanzadera, Patio, and Madrid Food Innovation Hub — and we're just getting started.

Why this role is special?

You’ll be defining the roadmap, owning product strategy, and leading all things tech in a company where tech is not a support function — it is the business.

This is a unique opportunity to :

• First and foremost, build something that matters — measurable environmental impact is built into our KPIs
• Shape the product vision from zero to one (and beyond)
• Lead and grow the tech / product team from scratch
• Co-pilot with the founders on strategy, business models, and funding

Responsibilities

• Define and own the product roadmap, working closely with design, commercial, ops, and customers
• Lead the technical architecture and execution — from scrappy MVPs to scalable platforms
• Be hands-on: whether it’s writing user stories, testing prototypes, setting up no-code automations, or reviewing API calls, you’ll be in the trenches
• Wear multiple hats across product, tech, data, and operations — this is a builder role, not just a helicopter view
• Set up processes, tools, and rituals for a high-performing product & engineering team
• Drive experimentation, data-informed decisions, and fast validation loops
• Manage external developers and partners, ensuring quality and momentum
• Stay close to users and customers to ensure we’re solving real problems with real impact

What We’re Looking For?

• Seasoned in product, engineering, or hybrid leadership roles
• Experience owning end-to-end product lifecycle in a startup, consulting, or high-growth environment
• Experience leading the technical development of a digital product, ideally involving AI, computer vision, or edge computing
• Strong familiarity with cloud platforms (preferably GCP), including tools like Vertex AI, Compute Engine, and Cloud Storage
• Comfortable working with or managing image datasets, training loops, APIs, and infrastructure-as-code workflows
• Solid understanding of hardware–software integration, especially with mobile devices or IoT-style setups
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to break down complexity into actionable steps
• Strong communication skills, able to collaborate across teams and explain tech decisions to non-technical stakeholders
• Fluent in Spanish and English
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or equivalent hands-on experience
