Job description

Join the revolution in hospitality tech!

Nomni is the all-in-one platform built for hospitality operators - bringing POS, payments, ordering, loyalty, procurement, marketing, and data together in one system, with AI at its core.

We exist because hospo tech has been built around what's good for the people providing it, not the people using it. We're changing that. Built by operators, for operators - with 35,000 venues already on the platform across Australia and Southeast Asia.

One platform. One team. One company accountable for the outcomes that matter.

• Own system architecture across backend services, APIs, and cloud infrastructure
• Ensure scalability, performance, and reliability of high-impact systems
• Drive rapid experimentation and prototyping of AI-powered solutions
