Job description

About Loop :

Restaurants and Hospitality are all about delivering the best possible version of an experience for their customers. We’re building AI tools that make it easier for restaurants to deliver that experience, by improving the operational systems behind the scenes with applied AI solutions.

We care about our customers the way that your favorite neighborhood spot takes care of you. Established in 2022, Loop AI has already captured over 10,000 restaurant locations and a $14m Series A.

Impact:

Loop AI believes the same sense of community and collaboration that creates great hospitality experiences, is what powers Engineering teams to build great products.

As we expand from national and regional chains into SMBs, we’re building a US-based engineering team to work closely with our existing offshore team and develop new product surfaces for our expanding user base.

Role: We expect you to play a leadership role based on your strengths and our user needs, across the following areas:

• Cross‑functional relationship management experience
• Develop “ideal” system architecture for high‑growth startup
• Requirements gathering with external stakeholders
• AI enthusiasm (production or personal projects
• Preference for restaurant/hospitality experience

Our Tech Stack:

We believe that the best Engineers are always curious about adopting cutting edge technology.

Production experience with all parts of stack are not required, but comfort learning on the job is:

• Primary languages: Python, React, TypeScript, and SQL (dbt)
• AI layer uses LLMs for agentic workflows

Infrastructure includes browser-use and computer-use for integration building, event‑driven pipelines, and standard cloud services.

$200,000 - $300,000 a year

About You:

If you care deeply about delivering technology to underserved market segments and having an impact on the next decade of passionate food entrepreneurs, then we want to hear from you! Please reach out with a resume, and the enthusiasm to get to work.

“Loop AI has become an essential technology driving the explosive growth of our delivery segment,” - Robert Linder, CFO of Loop AI Customer, Lazy Dog
