Role overview
Food & Beverage Services
Yhangry is a private chef marketplace. Think of us like Airbnb for finding a private chef to cook for any occasion. Whether it's a birthday, hen party or weekly meal prep. We empower chefs to work on their own terms and earn 3x as much as working in a commercial kitchen.
What you will do
- Architect and build a brand-new, AI-driven platform using TypeScript, React, and Node to replace existing systems for global scale.
- Design and deploy sophisticated AI agent workflows that enhance the booking experience for over 2,000 private chefs and their clients.
- Own the entire product lifecycle from ideation to deployment on Kubernetes, ensuring high-quality UX and robust engineering foundations.
Who this is a fit for
- Has 3-7 years of full-stack experience with strong foundations in TypeScript and Node, plus the ability to navigate PHP or Go microservices.
- Has fully adopted AI-assisted engineering workflows to ship code faster and more effectively while maintaining a deep understanding of core principles.
- Possesses a "founding engineer" mindset, thriving in small teams where they can identify business problems and solve them without a predefined ticket.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join as a founding-level engineer in a YC-backed startup with proven traction, significant revenue, and a market-leading position in the UK.
- Lead a greenfield "AI-native" transformation, rethinking product architecture from scratch rather than just bolting on features to a legacy system.
- Enjoy high autonomy and direct impact, reporting to a Head of Engineering who recently exited an AI startup and previously built yhangry's original platform.
