Job Description

You’ll join as one of Elyra’s earliest hires and help build the intelligence behind the world’s best restaurants. Your code won’t simply live behind a screen, it will run live service, fill dining rooms, and shape what restaurant software becomes next. From the moment you ship, its impact is felt across thousands of guest interactions.

  • Agent-first systems. AI agents that answer real phone calls, handle email end-to-end, and internal agents that operate the platform with the same capabilities as a human host.
  • More agent, less UI. Setup and configuration through conversation instead of settings pages from onboarding a restaurant, adjusting opening hours to changing floor plans.
  • A unified knowledge brain. One shared source of truth on guests, visit history, preferences, tables, and house rules that agents and staff both work from. The voice agent on a call and the host at the door know the same things.
  • The engine underneath. A real-time availability engine computing bookable slots across floor plans, table combinations, and party sizes hundreds of thousands of times a day. It needs to be fast enough to answer a voice agent mid-sentence and smart enough to place a guest where the human host would.

What we’re looking for

  • A strong product engineer who ships end-to-end: you take a problem from idea to production and own the result.
  • Fluent in TypeScript and comfortable across the stack (we run React, Hono, and Postgres/Supabase in a strictly-typed monorepo).
  • Experienced with building on LLMs: agents, tool use, voice.
  • High standards. An obsession with clean, modular code and innovative solutions.
  • You want ownership and pace. Everything we ship matters the same day it merges restaurants don't get a second chance at Friday night.

What you get

  • Founding-level equity and influence on product and technical direction.
  • Production scale from day one: your code answers phones, fills dining rooms, and runs the service of the restaurants.
  • A small, dedicated team, no bureaucracy, and a codebase kept deliberately clean so all the ambition goes into the product not the plumbing.

If you want your code to be the backbone of the best restaurants then come build with us.

About Elyra

Elyra is an AI reservation system for restaurants. Instead of missing 40% of incoming phone calls and taking days to reply to emails, leaving over $100,000 in bookings on the table every year, restaurants get AI agents that answer every call and email instantly, 24/7, connected to a reservation system that optimizes table placements in real time so empty seats get filled with the right guests. Felix and Alan met in primary school in Stockholm and have been building things together ever since. We launched with a single restaurant and within weeks they hit record occupancy, bookings they used to miss were suddenly being captured automatically, and empty Tuesday nights started filling up. Today we power top restaurants groups. There are over 1 million restaurants in the US and Europe alone. The average restaurant loses $100K+ a year to missed calls and slow email replies. At our current pricing, that's a $10B+ market opportunity, and we're the only system that handles the call, the email, and the table allocation in one place.
