About The Role
We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Insights team and help us transform complex data into actionable intelligence. You'll be at the forefront of discovery, exploring how we can use AI to unearth valuable insights, particularly within the finance sector.
You'll collaborate closely with product managers, operation teams and other engineers to bring innovative ideas to life, from initial concept to a production-ready system.
This is an ideal opportunity for a backend engineer with a good background in uncovering the transformative potential of AI within products. We have a vast collection of data of hospitality businesses. It is up to you to discover how AI can be used to analyze this data and generate useful and actionable insights for business owners.
Someone that is passionate about solving challenging problems in a fast-paced, evolving environment. You'll play a key part in shaping the team’s technical direction.
Responsibilities

Manifest the Win - Changing the world never comes easy. It takes grit. We are playing a team sport and we know winning is a conscious decision.
Launch fast and iterate - We believe speed and pragmatism wins the day. We operate with an extreme sense of urgency without compromising on quality.
Truth Seeking - We believe in first principles. We get to the heart of a problem and then develop solutions.
Dutch Directness - We operate with sophisticated Dutch directness. Open, respectful, and to the point. We create an environment where anyone can say what needs to be said.
Evolve - We are in a constant state of change and growth. As a business, as individuals. We embrace change.
Owners, not renters - We are all shareholders in Tebi and we act like it. We are drivers, not passengers.
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.
