We're hiring a founding product designer with strong systems thinking and exceptional attention to detail to help shape the future of hospitality technology. You'll join a small, fast-moving team building the core operating system for modern restaurants, partnering with some of the most exciting brands in the industry.

What you'll do

  • Design complex, data-driven interfaces across CRM dashboards, guest profiles, segmentation tools, reporting, and campaign builders
  • Turn messy, multi-source data (POS, reservations, reviews, email, SMS) into clear, intuitive workflows for operators
  • Define information architecture and interaction patterns for products used daily by non-technical teams
  • Partner closely with engineering to bring thoughtful, high-quality interfaces to life
  • Work directly with the founder to shape product direction and translate brand into product design
  • Establish design standards, systems, and tooling that scale with the company
  • Meet with restaurant operators to deeply understand workflows and real-world constraints
  • Bonus: experience in brand and graphic design to work with the GTM team on brand activations

What you'll bring

  • Experience designing products from 0 to 1
  • Strong systems design and information architecture skills
  • Ability to simplify complex data models into intuitive user experiences
  • A portfolio showing strong visual taste and attention to detail
  • Comfort designing for non-technical users solving complex problems
  • Ownership mindset and strong product instincts
  • Experience with the latest AI tools and building internal design harnesses
  • Interest in hospitality, restaurants, or consumer-facing software

What we offer

  • Competitive salary: $160K-$200K + equity
  • In-person team, 5 days/week in SoHo
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents (FSA and HSA options)
  • Daily lunch from top NYC restaurants (you choose your first week)
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Access to coveted NYC reservations
