This role builds the technical growth system that helps the right restaurant owners, operators, franchise leaders, and technology buyers discover Palona, understand its value, experience the product, and become qualified opportunities.\nWe are looking for an AI Full-Stack Engineer who treats growth as an engineering and product discipline. You will own web experiences, experimentation, SEO and generative-engine optimization, paid acquisition infrastructure, attribution, analytics, and AI-enabled growth workflows. You will work across the public website, landing pages, demos, calculators, content systems, marketing and sales integrations, and the data pipelines that connect acquisition to revenue.\nThe objective is not broad traffic or dashboard activity.
