Job summary

Clive Collective is seeking an AI Software Developer to design, build, test, deploy, and improve software for our restaurant and hospitality businesses.

You'll work closely with operators and leadership, implement lead capture, CRM, API integrations, and AI-assisted workflows, using Python and TypeScript. The role emphasizes reliability, responsible deployment, and measurable business impact.

Qualifications

• Demonstrable experience building and shipping working software.
• Deep, hands-on experience with coding agents such as Claude Code or Codex and agent platforms such as Hermes, OpenClaw, or comparable systems.
• Strong working knowledge of APIs, webhooks, authentication, databases, tool calling, MCP, agent orchestration, and human-in-the-loop approvals.
• Proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or both.
• Ability to inspect unfamiliar code, diagnose failures, test assumptions, and solve problems independently.
• Understanding of the difference between a successful demonstration and a dependable production system.
• Good judgment concerning permissions, sensitive information, external actions, and operational risk.
• Ability to communicate clearly with technical and nontechnical teammates.
• An ownership-oriented mindset—you care whether the software is adopted and produces measurable results.

Responsibilities

• Build production-ready applications, automations, integrations, and AI-assisted workflows.
• Develop systems for private-dining and large-party lead capture, qualification, routing, follow-up, and CRM management.
• Connect third-party platforms using APIs, webhooks, authentication, databases, and event-driven workflows.
• Configure and extend coding agents and agent platforms, including tools, memory, permissions, orchestration, and human approval steps.
• Write and maintain Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript applications.
• Review, debug, test, and improve AI-generated code rather than treating generated output as production-ready.
• Design for reliability through logging, monitoring, evaluations, retries, idempotency, duplicate prevention, and clear failure handling.
• Protect company, employee, and guest information through appropriate permissions and data-handling practices.
• Work directly with restaurant operators and company leadership to identify high-value problems and translate them into practical software.
• Document systems so they can be operated, supported, and improved over time.
