Let’s fix hospitality, for good.
Hospitality is tough – margins are thin, waste is high, and teams are stretched. But it doesn’t have to be this hard. That’s why we built Nory.
Our CEO, Conor, knows the pain first-hand. After founding and scaling Mad Egg in Ireland, he got fed up with juggling “market-leading” systems, clunky spreadsheets, and endless printouts. So he set out to build the tool he wished he’d had from day one.
Nory is an all-knowing restaurant management system. It blends real-time data with AI predictive analytics, giving operators control of their margins. From food prep to forecasting, it’s operational intelligence that helps restaurants run with consistency, certainty, and profit. The result? Thriving restaurants, better jobs, less waste, healthier margins. Learn more about what we are building here.
And we’re just getting started. Fresh off a Series B led by Kinnevik, we’ve grown to 80+ people across Ireland, the UK, Spain and New York – and demand is scaling faster than we ever imagined.
We’re looking for an Engineering Team Lead to join our Insights team. You’ll help build and scale the Insights layer of Nory – forecasting, planning, and decision-support features used daily by hundreds of multi-site restaurant operators. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll balance technical ownership, delivery, and people leadership to ship a reliable, high-impact product.
You should be comfortable working across backend and frontend systems. We’re stack-agnostic in our hiring and care most about strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to ramp quickly. Today, our stack includes Python, FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS (Fargate, Aurora, SQS), Postgres, MongoDB, and Docker.

You’ll focus on solving real, complex operational problems at scale:
Lead delivery for one of Nory’s most business-critical areas: own the technical direction and delivery of our Insights Product, enabling operators to make smarter decisions on pricing, waste reduction, and customer experience.
Champion forecasting excellence, continuously improving the accuracy and user experience of our predictive tools to build operator confidence and transparency.
Drive the development of intelligent features that power scheduling and operational planning, including innovative use of AI and machine learning to enhance automation, adaptability, and decision-making at scale.
Partner closely with Product, Data, and Design to balance statistical accuracy, system complexity, and a simple, intuitive user experience.
Lead a small squad of engineers: setting direction, reviewing code, unblocking delivery, and raising the engineering bar.
Hands-on technical leadership: Significant experience building and operating production systems, with deep strength in either backend or frontend and the ability to work effectively across the stack.
Product-focused delivery experience: Previous experience working in cross-functional product squads (Engineering, Product, Design, Data), delivering high-impact work with clear commercial or customer outcomes.
Systems thinking: You’ve designed and evolved systems that stand up over time, making pragmatic trade-offs between speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
Strong product instincts: You connect engineering work directly to customer and business outcomes, and you’re comfortable shaping scope alongside Product.
Delivery ownership: You take responsibility for your team’s focus, pace, and outcomes, removing blockers and keeping work moving.
People leadership: You enjoy coaching engineers, giving clear feedback, and helping individuals grow while building a healthy, high-performing team culture.
Clear communication: You can explain complex technical ideas simply and work effectively with non-engineering stakeholders.
Nice to have
Experience building B2B products used by a large number of customers, with high volumes of users, traffic, or data.
Experience working on analytics-driven products, where reliability, performance, and trust are critical to customer adoption and retention.
If you’re excited by the problems we’re solving but don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you.
