About the company
A bit of wine and tech, that’s where the passion lies for these two co-founders. Michele is one of 400 Master Sommeliers in the world and a tech executive across the e-comm domain. Doug is a sommelier who has been pioneering Search engines for companies like Twitter and Yahoo.
The Food and Beverage industry is ripe for innovation and there aren’t many founders better positioned than this duo.
About the role
As a Founding Engineer, you will be working closely with the technical cofounder to build, build and build. He is still very hands-on and is looking for an engineer who will complement his backend expertise. But make no mistake, this is a fullstack role! Here are two high priority features that you'll develop:
1. A mobile app that will be used at tableside by the customer
2. A drink list optimizer - an ML tool that will assist the restaurant in curating their wine list
The CTO wants to develop a strong partnership with you - learning from you, leaning on your leadership as the team scales, and strategizing product development. This is a role that can have a major influence on the engineering culture and provide growth opportunities.
