Senior Backend Engineer

The Revi Mission

Brick and mortar is not dead but drastically changing, and Revi is leading that change into the future. 31 years ago, Web 1.0 started and it gave people the ability to click hyperlinks and read text. When Web 2.0 came about 10 years later, it revolutionized the world. It allowed people to do things like buy, ship, mail, shop, and more.

In the past, doing these things was only reserved for an in-person physical experience, but they can now be done online. That one technological advancement, though simple, changed the world. Now, the internet is so robust that there are things you can do online that you can not do in a physical location. This is the next great shift in the market that Revi is calling Web 3.0.

Companies are now trying to bring this digital experience into physical stores in their own siloed ecosystems. For example, Uber brings a simplified way to interact with cabs in the physical world, Bonobos brings a simplified way to interact with their physical retail stores, and the Amazon Go store simplifies purchasing in its physical stores. Revi is looking to bring this way of interacting with physical locations to all consumers, no matter what physical store you walk into.

Revi offers businesses an in-store digital platform that allows businesses to build long-lasting relationships with their customers and allows consumers to interact with any business they walk into digitally. Our product is a beautifully designed in-store self-ordering system where consumers can buy, pay, get rewards, and much more. The data collected is leveraged to improve the ordering experience and attract new consumers. With a fresh round of Series A funding from top Silicon Valley seed investors, we are ready to pursue a multi-billion dollar opportunity.

It's an excellent time to join because

We've reached an inflection point. After closing our $14.5M Series A, we're not just building a product - we're defining a category. Our in-store AI platform is live with growing restaurant chains, and we're seeing strong product-market fit with customers actively requesting new features. This is your opportunity to join at the perfect moment: early enough to have a massive impact and shape our technical direction, but mature enough that you'll be building on proven foundations with real customer traction.As we scale from 15 to 50+ engineers over the next 18 months, you'll be part of building something that matters. You'll work on interesting technical challenges at the intersection of real-time systems, AI/ML infrastructure, and consumer-facing products used by thousands of restaurants and millions of diners. You'll have the autonomy to make significant architectural decisions, the resources to execute properly, and the team culture where your work directly influences both our technology stack and our business outcomes. Plus, you'll be joining a team that values engineering excellence, ships fast, and solves real problems for real businesses.

The Revi Role

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll be a technical leader responsible for designing and scaling the core systems that power Revi's restaurant AI platform. You'll spend approximately 70% of your time on backend architecture building robust APIs, optimizing database performance, and ensuring system reliability at scale and 30% applying AI/ML techniques to improve our ordering intelligence, personalization, and operational efficiency. You'll own significant technical areas end-to-end, from architecture and implementation to production monitoring and optimization. This role requires both deep backend expertise and practical AI/ML experience - you should be comfortable writing production Python and Go services, designing scalable APIs, and deploying ML models that directly impact customer experience. You'll collaborate closely with product, design, and other engineering teams to ship features that delight restaurant operators and diners while maintaining high technical standards.

What you'll do

• Design and build scalable backend services and APIs in Python and Go that power our restaurant ordering platform
• Own technical areas by providing technical leadership for cross-functional teams and driving architecture decisions
• Build and deploy ML infrastructure including inference services, model fine-tuning pipelines, and evaluation frameworks
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs and SDKs used by restaurants and internal teams
• Drive large cross-functional projects independently from planning to launch to ongoing maintenance with high autonomy
• Optimize database queries, caching strategies, and system architecture for performance at scale
• Collaborate on product design and UX to ensure technical feasibility and optimal user experience
• Establish operational excellence through monitoring, alerting, documentation, and incident response
• Ship product features with complete ownership from initial design through production deployment and iteration
• Collaborate with engineers to design elegant architectures and pragmatic solutions to complex problems
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team knowledge-sharing through code reviews, tech talks, and documentation

What we expect you’ll bring to the role:

• 8+ years of experience building and shipping production software systems at scale
• Strong track record of writing scalable, performant, and maintainable backend code - we care more about engineering fundamentals than specific frameworks
• Hands-on experience with Python and/or Go in production environments, including designing and building RESTful APIs
• Practical AI/ML experience - familiarity with LLMs, ML model deployment, inference optimization, or GenAI applications
• Deep understanding of database design, query optimization, and distributed systems principles
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and modern DevOps practices
• Passion for shipping customer-centric products and iterating based on real-world usage
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
• Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration in a fast-paced startup environment
