Job description

About Ebb & Flow Group

Ebb & Flow Group is a Singapore-based hospitality group that owns and operates restaurants, cafes, and consumer brands across the region. Our next chapter is East Coast Systems — a 2026 technology spin‑out focused on building and commercialising Applied AI systems for the hospitality and F&B industry.

Flow Systems will take the group’s internal technology stack — developed over years of operating complex F&B businesses — and scale it into a full suite of enterprise‑grade AI products for global deployment.

Our mission:
To build AI systems that make physical industries intelligent — tools that understand data, context, and human workflows as well as the people who use them.

About the Team

Our engineering team is small, fast-moving, and deeply technical. We build practical, production‑grade AI products that directly support and transform F&B operations.

Our current platforms include:

• Grapestack – predictive inventory, pricing & demand automation
• SupaDriver – intelligent routing and delivery orchestration
• BearHug – generative customer engagement & loyalty automation (in development)
• Geddit – AI‑powered procurement software for food, wine, and ingredient sourcing (in development)

These products form the foundation of Flow Systems — an ecosystem of applied AI tools purpose‑built for restaurants, hotels, and consumer brands.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Pioneer Product Engineer (Applied AI) to join our Singapore HQ. This is a 0→1 role — hands‑on, full‑stack, and deeply interdisciplinary.

You’ll work directly with the founders and senior engineers to:

• Design and build fullstack systems using Python (FastAPI/Django) and Next.js/React
• Integrate LLMs, diffusion models, and agentic workflows into production pipelines
• Build and deploy intelligent systems that reason, automate, and adapt to real‑world data
• Prototype and refine AI‑driven applications across inventory, logistics, procurement, and engagement
• Collaborate with internal business teams and clients to translate operational pain points into software
• Shape the technical foundation and product DNA of East Coast Systems as it prepares to spin out in 2026

This is not a typical engineering position — it’s an opportunity to help define and build an applied AI company from the ground up.

What We’re Looking For

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or any technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience)
• 0–3 years of experience (internships count)
• Strong foundation in Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, Next.js, and React
• Familiarity and foundational understanding of LLM architecture and agentic workflows, including frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, and Transformers
• Exposure to diffusion models, embeddings, vector databases, and retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) pipelines
• Knowledge of modern AI ecosystems and model standards (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Meta, HuggingFace, Stability, etc.)
• Demonstrated ability to build independently — side projects, prototypes, open‑source contributions, or tools you’ve created
• Strong communication skills and ability to operate cross‑functionally between product, engineering, and business
• A bias toward execution, clarity, and ownership

Exceptional Candidates May Have

• Experience delivering production‑grade AI products or web platforms
• Familiarity with modern data infrastructure (Supabase, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, Vercel, Fly.io)
• Interest in the business and operational side of hospitality or supply chain automation
• Desire to take on leadership responsibility as Flow Systems scales

Tech Stack

Languages: Python, TypeScript
Frameworks: FastAPI, Django, Next.js, React
AI Tooling: LangChain, LangGraph, HuggingFace, OpenAI, Anthropic, Stability, Mistral
Infra: Supabase (PostgreSQL), Redis, Vercel, AWS

Location

Singapore — this is an in‑person role embedded within our HQ office, where product and operations meet.

Interview Process

1. Intro Call (15 min) – brief alignment on skills, curiosity, and fit
2. Technical Deep Dive – live problem‑solving in Python or TypeScript
3. System Design Discussion – explore your approach to building scalable AI systems
4. Founder Session – discuss your past work, motivations, and vision for applied AI

We move quickly — most candidates complete the process within a week.

Compensation & Perks

Competitive salary with full‑time employment under Ebb & Flow Group. Additional lifestyle benefits include:

• Early and fast access to new restaurants, bars, and concepts within our portfolio
• Discounts across all Ebb & Flow Group brands
• Priority and skip‑the‑queue access at partner venues and events
• Invitations to launches, tastings, and exclusive experiences within the Group’s hospitality and nightlife network

In Summary

This is a rare opportunity to join an AI‑first spin‑out inside a major hospitality group, and to help shape the future of how real‑world businesses interact with intelligence.

If you’re the kind of person who experiments with frameworks before they trend, sees AI as an engineering material — not a buzzword — and wants to build systems that actually touch the real world, we’d love to meet you.
