Let’s fix hospitality, for good. Hospitality is tough – margins are thin, waste is high, and teams are stretched. But it doesn’t have to be this hard. That’s why we built Nory .

Our CEO, Conor, knows the pain first-hand. After founding and scaling Mad Egg in Ireland, he got fed up with juggling “market-leading” systems, clunky spreadsheets, and endless printouts. So he set out to build the tool he wished he’d had from day one.

Nory is an all-knowing restaurant management system. It blends real-time data with AI predictive analytics, giving operators control of their margins. From food prep to forecasting, it’s operational intelligence that helps restaurants run with consistency, certainty, and profit. The result? Thriving restaurants, better jobs, less waste, healthier margins.

And we’re just getting started. Fresh off a Series B led by Kinnevik, we’ve grown to 80+ people across Ireland, the UK, Spain and New York – and demand is scaling faster than we ever imagined.

The role

We’re looking for an Engineering Team Lead to join our Insights team. You’ll lead a squad responsible for building and scaling the Insights layer of Nory – forecasting, planning, and decision-support features used daily by hundreds of multi-site restaurant operators. Learn more about what we are building here . This is primarily a leadership role focused on enabling team success . Your performance will be measured by the outcomes your team delivers: product impact, engineering quality, and the growth of the engineers you support.

You’ll set direction for the squad, coach engineers, and ensure strong execution across product and technical initiatives. While you’ll remain close to the technical work and may contribute to code when helpful, the role’s primary responsibility is to lead the team and ensure the squad consistently delivers high-impact outcomes. We’re stack-agnostic in our hiring and care most about strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to ramp quickly. Today, our stack includes Python, FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS (Fargate, Aurora, SQS), Postgres, MongoDB, and Docker .

What you’ll be doing

You’ll focus on helping your squad deliver meaningful product outcomes:

• Lead a cross-functional engineering squad, setting direction, enabling delivery, and ensuring the team ships high-quality solutions that solve real customer problems.
• Own team outcomes, ensuring your squad consistently delivers impactful work while maintaining strong engineering standards.
• Develop engineers through coaching and feedback, helping them grow their technical and product capabilities.
• Drive delivery discipline, ensuring the team prioritises effectively, manages scope, and lands work reliably.
• Partner closely with Product, Data, and Design to shape solutions that balance statistical accuracy, system complexity, and a simple, intuitive user experience.
• Stay close to the technical work, guiding architecture, reviewing code, and helping unblock engineers when needed.

What you’ll bring

• Engineering leadership: You’ve led an engineering squad and take accountability for team outcomes, team health, and delivery. You understand that success is measured by what the team achieves collectively.
• Coaching and people development: You run structured 1:1s, give clear feedback, and help engineers grow their technical and product capabilities.
• Product-focused delivery: You’ve delivered meaningful initiatives within a cross-functional squad (Engineering, Product, Design, Data), producing measurable customer or commercial outcomes.
• Strong product judgement: You work closely with Product to shape scope, make pragmatic trade-offs, and keep the team focused on impact rather than output.

Nice to have

• Experience building B2B products used by large customer bases with significant data or operational complexity.
• Experience working on analytics or forecasting-driven products where reliability, trust, and data accuracy are critical.
