Founding Engineer

BiteSight (YC W24)
New York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 3/29/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/26/2025
About The Role

As a Founding Engineer at BiteSight, you’ll be key in building and scaling the technical infrastructure that changes the way people order food delivery forever. You’ll work on everything from enhancing our recommendation engine and adding social features to improving video encoding and building the tools that make sure our users get their orders—all to create the food delivery experience of today and tomorrow.

You’ll be joining a small, passionate team of foodies where you’ll have a direct impact on the trajectory and culture of the company. Your contributions will help shape not just our technology, but the future of BiteSight itself.

About You

We don’t care about your age or how many years of experience you have—we’re looking for someone who’s a cracked full-stack engineer, ready to tackle whatever challenges we throw your way. If you’ve got the skills and the drive to figure things out and make them work, you’re exactly who we want.

  • You love building and have experience across the stack working with technologies including Python, PostgreSQL, and hopefully Swift/Swift UI.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced, startup environment and are excited by the ambiguity and challenges that come with building something from the ground up.
  • You have a passion for food and technology, and you’re eager to create a product that transforms the food delivery experience for users.
  • You’re a clear thinker and communicator, able to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical people.

Why does the world need another food delivery app?

We started BiteSight because of our deeply held belief that a better food delivery experience can and will exist. Short-form video is the most dominant form of content consumption in modern history and allows us to process information in a way not possible through photos. Plus, with ratings on traditional food delivery apps becoming increasingly inflated, the need for real recommendations from people we trust has never been greater. As the largest delivery companies focus on expanding into other verticals, we will keep innovating and delivering the experience we know our users deserve.

People used to ask why cars were needed when horses and buggies were already fast enough. If you want to create the future, join BiteSight.

Your life at BiteSight

When you join our team as a founding engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Take ownership of key features and systems that will define the future of food delivery.
  • Work closely with a passionate and talented team to shape the direction of the company.
  • Join a well-funded startup backed by top investors like Y-Combinator, SurgePoint Capital, and industry leaders from Airbnb, Delivery Hero, and Starbucks.

  • Fully covered top-tier health, dental, and vision plans
  • Fully specced Macbook Pro
