Product-Minded Software Engineer

Your mission

You’ll contribute to the technical backbone that turns a traditionally ops-heavy GPO business into a scalable software platform. The goal is to make it possible for independent restaurants to buy with the power of a chain, while reducing reliance on manual operations. 

• The problem you'll own: Replace manual, people-dependent procurement workflows with trustworthy software that is accurate, scalable, and self-serve

• The systems you'll build: Contribute to the technical platform, including tech architecture, order workflows, matching and pricing logic, data foundations, and automation layers that support operations and user experience

• The change you’ll drive: Turn messy food procurement processes into reliable product workflows

• What success looks like: The business scales without losing pricing accuracy, order integrity, or operational trust, and the team can serve more restaurants with less manual work

We build AI agents to aggregate demand from restaurants and negotiate chain-level pricing with food suppliers.

We started with KASO Order, moving thousands of restaurant-supplier orders from WhatsApp and phone calls into clean, reliable digital workflows which are used by 5000+ restaurants like Burger King, Tim Hortons, Caribou Coffee and many more.

We are backed by Y Combinator, Global Founders Capital, MSA Capital, Seedra, Spades and others alongside founders from Careem, Talabat, Delivery Hero, Tabby, and more. 

Food is one of the world's biggest industries, and it still operates like it's 1995. We're a small team with AI agents in production and a head start no one else has. Come build the thing that fixes it at Kaso.
