Full Stack AI Engineer

Location: Singapore

Company: Ebb & Flow Group

Experience: Fresh grad to 3 years

About Ebb & Flow Group

Ebb & Flow Group is a Singapore-based hospitality group that owns and operates restaurants, cafés, and consumer brands across the region. After years of building internal systems to optimise our own operations, we’re now preparing to spin out our technology stack into a dedicated software venture — focused on Applied AI systems that drive efficiency, productivity, and customer experience in hospitality and F&B. This isn’t theory or consulting. These are production systems built by operators who understand the industry from the inside out — now evolving into enterprise-grade products with massive commercial potential.

Mission: modernise one of the world’s most operationally complex and least-digitised industries by building intelligent systems that turn inefficiency into opportunity.

About the Team

A small, execution-driven engineering team that builds real, revenue-impacting systems — not demos.

We work directly with operations, logistics, and marketing teams, translating pain points into software that runs at scale.

Current platforms include:

• Grapestack – predictive inventory, pricing & demand automation
• SupaDriver – intelligent routing and delivery orchestration
• BearHug – generative engagement & loyalty automation (in development)
• Geddit – AI-powered procurement for food, wine, and ingredient sourcing (in development)

Together, these products form the foundation of our upcoming spin-out — a new software company born from years of hard-won operational experience.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Founding Product Engineer (Applied AI) to join our Singapore HQ. This is a 0 → 1 role — full-stack, hands-on, and central to the next phase of our technology build. You’ll work directly with founders and senior engineers to:

• Architect and build production-grade systems using Python (FastAPI, Django) and TypeScript (Next.js, React)
• Develop and integrate LLM-based systems using LangGraph, LangChain, and PydanticAI, creating agentic workflows with contextual reasoning and persistence
• Design and scale backends on Supabase (PostgreSQL + Row-Level Security) with async I/O, background jobs, and streaming APIs
• Implement orchestration layers with Redis, Celery, and event-driven schedulers for high-throughput automation
• Prototype and deploy AI-driven tools across domains including inventory, logistics, procurement, and customer engagement
• Build adaptive data pipelines linking APIs, structured datasets, and inference endpoints
• Experiment with the latest frameworks and models — from OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Meta, Hugging Face, Qwen, Kimi, and others — to push applied intelligence forward

This isn’t a typical engineering role.

It’s an opportunity to build real software that transforms how an entire industry operates — faster, leaner, smarter.

What We’re Looking For

• Background: Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field — or equivalent practical experience
• Experience: 0–3 years (internships, side projects, or open-source work count)
• Core stack proficiency: Strong in Python and TypeScript, with production experience in FastAPI/Django and/or Next.js/React
• AI foundations: Understanding of LLM architectures, prompting, and agentic workflows; familiarity with LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar frameworks
• Applied ML exposure: Experience or interest in embeddings, vector databases, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems
• Ecosystem fluency: Awareness of OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Meta, Hugging Face, and the broader open-source model landscape
• Builder mindset: Proven ability to design and ship independently — projects, prototypes, or open-source tools
• Collaboration: Clear communicator who can work fluidly across engineering, product, and operations
• Culture: Bias toward clarity, speed, and ownership over hierarchy or process

Exceptional Candidates May Have

• Delivered production-grade AI or large-scale web platforms end-to-end
• Hands-on experience with Supabase, Redis, AWS, Vercel, Fly.io, or related infrastructure
• Public work — side projects, prototypes, or open-source contributions (include GitHub, repos, or portfolios)
• Interest in F&B, retail, or supply-chain automation, and how technology reshapes real-world operations
• Desire to grow into leadership as the new venture scales

Tech Stack

Languages: Python, TypeScript

Frameworks: FastAPI, Django, Next.js, React

AI Tooling: LangChain, LangGraph, PydanticAI, Hugging Face, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral

Infrastructure: Supabase (PostgreSQL), Redis, Vercel, AWS

Compensation & Perks

Full-time employment under Ebb & Flow Group with competitive salary and benefits:

• Early access to new restaurants, bars, and concepts
• Discounts across all Ebb & Flow brands
• Skip-the-queue access at partner venues
• Invitations to launches, tastings, and private events

Why Join

Hospitality is a trillion-dollar industry running on outdated systems. Digitisation is long overdue — and we’re fixing it from the inside out. We’re not consultants or outsiders; we’re operators who turned our own inefficiencies into software. Now we’re scaling that software into a company.

If you experiment with frameworks before they trend, treat AI as an engineering material, and want to build technology that moves a legacy industry forward, we’d like to meet you
