Highlights: Senior / Lead Engineer, deep involvement in product (we don't have PMs), work directly with the founders of a series A food tech company, significant stock options, build and manage a world class engineering team, full-autonomy on technical roadmap, best ideas win: no politics, just build, leverage AI across all areas of the company. About Growth Kitchen Eating in 2025 is like eating in 1955. We shop for ingredients, cook and waste lots of ingredients in the process. Food delivery could be 10x more convenient (press a button, get food), however, ordering is too expensive and the best restaurants are often not available where we live. Ordering is a treat - not an everyday, personalised commodity. Growth Kitchen is on a mission to change that. We want the best restaurants to be available everywhere and to become as cheap as McDonald's through scale and automation. Our platform enables kitchen operators (e.g. Hilton Hotel) to sell well-known restaurant brands, such as The Athenian or Coqfighter from their existing kitchens. We're scaling fast (UK international soon) and bottlenecked by automation. We have more customer demand than we can handle with our current technology.
