## Job description

About Us: Tebi is creating the first Connected Restaurant Management System that makes hospitality flow. In one seamless platform, Tebi embeds sales, reservations, kitchen prep, payments, and all the data that powers it, creating smooth service and intuitive insights. Founded by Arnout Schuijff, co-founder of Adyen, and backed by €50 million in funding from Index Ventures & CapitalG, Tebi is built in service of hospitality first. Thousands of restaurants, cafés, bars, and coffee shops across the Netherlands, UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, Denmark and Finland already love running on Tebi.

About the role: We’re looking for a Senior AI Engineer to build and run the agents at the heart of Tebi OS. You’ll design, ship, evaluate and scale our Product Agents, along with the data pipelines, tools and infrastructure that make them reliable in production. The ideal candidate started in data or ML engineering and has since moved into AI engineering, building LLM-powered agents for real users. You enjoy turning messy financial and operational data into context an agent can reason over and act on with confidence and you are passionate about solving product challenges through AI. You’ll work closely with product and engineering to put intelligence into the hands of hospitality teams. That could be an agent that answers questions about a restaurant’s finances in real time, one that automates repetitive back-office tasks, or internal tools that help us move faster.

What you’ll do:

- Design, build and operate production agents: orchestration, tool and function calling, memory, multi-step reasoning, and integration with Tebi’s backend services
- Build the data foundations agents rely on, including real-time and batch pipelines over financial and operational data, retrieval layers, and well-modeled datasets agents can query safely and accurately
- Turn APIs and internal services into well-defined agent tools, and own the contracts between agents and the rest of the platform
- Set up evaluation for agent behavior: offline eval sets, LLM-as-judge and human review, regression testing on prompt and model changes, and feedback loops that improve agents over time
- Own observability for agents in production by tracing sessions, tool calls and model calls, and tracking latency, cost, error rates and quality
- Work with product teams to find where agents can meaningfully improve the customer experience or internal workflows, and say clearly where they can’t
- Make sure agents handle data securely and responsibly, with sensible guardrails, access controls, and protection against prompt injection and data leakage

What you’ll bring:

- 7+ years in software engineering, with a solid base in data or ML engineering
- Hands-on experience building and shipping LLM agents to production, not just prototypes. You’ve dealt with flaky tool calls, runaway loops, hallucinated arguments and token budgets, and you have opinions on how to handle them.
- Strong data modeling and data warehousing fundamentals, plus experience with ingestion, transformation and data quality
- Strong SQL, and experience with pipeline tools (e.g. Airflow, dbt) and analytical or cloud data platforms (e.g. ClickHouse, BigQuery, Snowflake)
- Experience evaluating and monitoring LLM systems, and an understanding of the full lifecycle from experiment to deployment to ongoing improvement
- Backend engineering skills: you’re comfortable building the API endpoint that exposes an agent’s output to the frontend, or the service an agent calls as a tool
- Clear communication, including the ability to explain trade-offs in latency, cost, accuracy and complexity to product partners
- A product mindset. You care about how your work lands with users, and you’re keen to meet customers face to face to understand their needs.

This probably isn't the role for you if you have been working with AI agents to improve your day to day working flows but you haven’t built an Agent in the production. People who succeed at Tebi are independent, curious and passionate about hospitality. If this speaks to you we can be the right fit.

Benefits:

- Competitive Salary
- Lunch Provided in Office
- Team building events
- Unlimited time off

What is Restaurant Software? Restaurants and other merchants use various software systems such as Point of Sale (POS), Reservations, Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), Payments, Inventory, Staffing, and the list goes on. These systems all need to speak to each other which they frequently don’t. It’s a mess, and we are fixing it. From buying a croissant at a cafe to having dinner with friends, it’s a €4 Trillion+ global market and a critical part of everyday life in today's economy.

## How we use AI at Tebi

We use AI the way our merchants use Tebi, to cut out the friction and get to what matters faster. We believe in a world where AI increases quality, efficiency and speed. At Tebi, AI isn't a policy or a checkbox, it's just part of how we work. It helps us write, analyse, build, and improve but doesn’t make the last call. If there's a smarter way to do something, we want to find it.

## About Tebi

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Tebi provides an all-in-one, cloud-based operating system for hospitality businesses that natively connects point-of-sale, reservations, payments, kitchen display, inventory, and back-office administration into a single platform.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B)
- **Headquarters**: Amsterdam, Netherlands
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Arnout Schuijff

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Hospitality Technology (Restaurant Management Software / POS)
- Target customers: Restaurants, bars & clubs, cafes & bakeries, quick-service restaurants, and event venues (SMB to Multi-location)
- Mission: To rebuild hospitality technology from the ground up so that it flows seamlessly, giving time back to operators and helping businesses grow profitably while preserving the local spots that feed neighborhoods.

## Products & Services
- **Tebi OS (Connected Restaurant Management System)**: A single, unified cloud platform that replaces a fragmented stack of 10+ separate subscriptions. Core modules include:
    - **Point of Sale (POS)**: Intuitive, flexible system for efficient service.
    - **Reservations & CRM**: Guest management, booking, and recognition of regulars.
    - **Kitchen Display System (KDS)**: Real-time order management for accuracy and speed.
    - **Payments**: Embedded, quick, and secure payment processing.
    - **QR Ordering**: Contactless ordering and payment from the table.
    - **Inventory & Recipe Management**: Track stock and manage recipes.
    - **Insights & Dashboarding**: Real-time analytics connecting daily operations to revenue and profit, including AI-powered insights.
    - **Multi-location Reporting**: Centralized management for venue groups.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Funding**: **€30M** (USD ~$33M) raised in a Series B round led by **CapitalG** (Alphabet’s independent growth fund), announced in early 2025. This follows a prior Series A. Total funding is not fully disclosed but is significant given the lead investor.
- **Key Metric**: **Total Funding (Private)**; Revenue is not publicly disclosed, but the company offers a subscription model (first €10k in monthly revenue processed is free, then €20/mo per additional €10k).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: **CapitalG** (lead investor, Series B). The company was founded by Arnout Schuijff, the co-founder of the Dutch fintech giant Adyen.
- **Growth Signals**: The company has grown from a single prototype to a platform used by "thousands of operators" across Europe. It has established local teams across Europe (Amsterdam HQ, with offices in Rome and Milan). The high-profile backing from CapitalG signals strong confidence in the company's trajectory and product-market fit.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Unified Platform (The "Tebi OS")**: Unlike competitors (e.g., Toast, Lightspeed, Square) that often rely on acquired or loosely integrated modules, Tebi was built from the ground up as a single, native system. This eliminates the need for third-party integrations, reducing complexity and cost for operators.
- **Founder DNA & Talent**: Founded by Arnout Schuijff, a proven entrepreneur who co-founded Adyen (a multi-billion dollar payments company). This brings deep expertise in payments, scaling technology, and building high-performance teams.
- **Data-Native Architecture**: By natively linking financial data (payments) with operational data (orders, inventory, labor), Tebi provides unique, actionable insights that help operators understand profitability in real-time.
- **Focus on Hospitality Culture**: The company's mission explicitly centers on "protecting what makes [venues] special" and serving the people who run them, creating a strong, purpose-driven brand.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale Across Europe**: With the new funding, Tebi is focused on expanding its local teams and customer base across major European markets.
- **Product Depth & AI**: Continuing to build out the platform's capabilities, particularly in AI-driven insights and automation to further reduce manual work for operators.
- **Global Platform, Local Service**: The strategy is to build a global product (solving for the common 80% of needs) while serving customers locally with dedicated teams.
- **Displacing Fragmented Stacks**: Tebi's core growth strategy is to win customers away from the legacy model of using 10+ different software tools.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Values**: Tebi emphasizes a strong, values-driven culture rooted in ownership ("We are owners, not renters"), truth-seeking, customer obsession, and speed ("Launch fast and iterate"). The culture is described as an "open kitchen" where transparency and direct communication are key.
- **Work Environment**: **On-site** in Amsterdam. The HQ is in the heart of the city. All positions are currently listed as in-office, with a focus on face-to-face collaboration ("We talk before we type").
- **Perks & Benefits**:
    - **Equity for all employees** (everyone is a shareholder).
    - **Unlimited time off**.
    - **Competitive salary**.
    - **Lunch provided in-office**.
    - **Team building events**.
- **Engineering Culture**: Described as a place for "passionate builders." The team is a mix of technologists, hospitality experts, creatives, and operators. The approach is pragmatic: solve for the 80% (not niche cases), iterate fast, and take ownership of outcomes.
