We're hiring the first two people to build and sell Ora. Async Python services, crawlers, queues, and data pipelines Design our API with agents as the main users Create LLM extraction, evals, monitoring, and cost control tools Founding GTM Executive Full-cycle sales from prospecting through close Outbound, discovery, demos, follow-up, and expansion Customer feedback loops that shape product and messaging What you are joining Product Daily-refreshed restaurant data across owners, operators, vendors, menus, and location changes. Customers Used by GTM teams at DoorDash, SpotOn, Cvent, Provi. Moment The wedge is clear. The product and sales motion are still early enough for the first hires to shape. Team Small, direct, founder-led. No layers between customer problems and what gets built. Chase the muse. Trust your taste. Genuine excitement is information. No matter how early or half-baked the ideas are, we want to hear your voice. Show us what you make; a demo is worth a thousand words. Be a Shokunin. You are a craftsperson. Take your craft seriously when nobody is looking. Sleep, train, and take care of your instruments. AI is an enhancement to the lifelong journey of self-improvement. Enough, but not done. You are enough where you are, and still ambitious for the next version. Keep a positive voice as we dare to do great things. You are worthy, and the value you give to the world comes from that worth. Look at the data. Go to the source and always seek truth with your own measurement. When in doubt, let the data tell its story. We then transparently share our truth with our customers. Locked arms. When something breaks, don't waste time with finger-pointing: find the root cause and fix what enabled it. Let small fires burn while we fix the bottleneck. What each role owns Core work Turn messy online restaurant signals into structured data. Build the first repeatable sales motion. What source can we trust? What changed? How do we verify it? Who feels this pain now? What proof makes them move? Output Reliable restaurant records, workflows, and product surfaces. Qualified pipeline, closed customers, sharp buyer feedback. Good week A field gets more accurate, a workflow gets faster, a customer request becomes self-serve. A target account progresses, a pattern becomes reusable, a lost deal teaches the product something.
