Overview – Senior AI Software Engineer (Full-Stack)

Cut+Dry, a rapidly growing food tech startup, seeks a highly skilled Senior AI Software Engineer (Full-Stack) to join our dynamic team.
This is a remote position; however, due to the nature and timing of our work, candidates must be currently located in Canada or the United States.  We are unable to hire applicants residing outside these countries.
You will be at the forefront of bringing AI to the food service industry, working across all layers of the stack to build AI-powered solutions end-to-end that transform how food distributors and restaurant operators interact with technology.

Who We Are

Cut+Dry is a fast-growing food tech startup searching for flexible go-getters who welcome the challenge of meeting the needs of a rapidly expanding business. Our platform is designed to streamline and enhance the interactions between wholesale suppliers, manufacturers, and their commercial clientele, including restaurants, caterers, and hotels. We’re constantly developing new products and features, bringing the forefront of technology into the foodservice supply chain.

Consisting of lifelong Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, the founding team has built and exited multiple startups and possesses deep domain expertise in the restaurant and food supply chain business, having sold previous startups to the world’s largest food distributors.
We move quickly: We ship code multiple times a day. We believe in getting new features in front of customers and iteratively improving as we learn what works and what does not.

• We collaborate: We each bring unique experiences and skills to the table and support the people around us. Working together to share knowledge benefits the entire team and helps us produce the best customer results.
• We value product over process: We want the team to have the time and focus to solve complex challenges. We aim to minimize the overhead introduced by heavyweight processes and excessive meetings.
• We’re all owners. We all love the food industry and know that we can have a more significant impact beyond the business we’re building. We love the work we do, and we do it well because, as the leaders in the industry, we’re here to win.
