Role
Who you are
- Full-Stack Technical Leadership: 8+ years of engineering experience, with deep technical credibility in at least one domain (backend or frontend) and strong working knowledge of the other. You set the bar on engineering quality and guide your team in delivering scalable, well-architected systems
- Systems Thinking & Architecture Ownership: You lead the design and evolution of systems that support the long-term success of your squad and neighbouring teams. You facilitate architectural decision-making, promote reusability, and balance delivery urgency with strategic technical debt management
- Customer & Product Stewardship: You connect your team’s work directly to customer value. You help shape product direction in partnership with PMs, challenge assumptions, and frame trade-offs through the lens of user outcomes, feasibility, and effort
- Delivery Ownership & Team Enablement: You are accountable for your squad’s velocity, focus, and outcomes. You remove blockers, coach team members, and create an environment where engineers are empowered to do their best work. You adapt quickly to change and model pragmatic decision-making
- Cross-Functional Communication & Alignment: You keep stakeholders informed and expectations managed. You drive alignment with PM, Design, and leadership, and foster clear, structured thinking within the team. You communicate proactively and asynchronously across time zones
- Culture, Coaching & Growth: You shape the culture of your team through feedback, care, and clarity. You support individual growth plans, run effective 1:1s, give feedback regularly, and help your team get better every quarter. You model Nory’s values and help others do the same

Our take
Nory’s AI and automation software allows restaurants to more easily take control of common pain points like inventory, staffing, and marketing, all on one platform. With thin margins, stretched teams and high levels of waste, Nory was founded by a seasoned restaurant founder and scaler, who knows all too well how juggling "market-leading" systems can become a headache for restaurant managers. Indeed, he even built an early version of Nory for his own restaurant.
What makes Nory a particularly interesting prospect is the value that it can offer multi-site restaurants or chains, given its ability to collect data on each location at once. It melds real-time data with AI predictive analytics so that operators can regain control of their profit. It’s this certainty of purpose and value that’s helped Nory get off to a flying start, securing a rapidly growing customer base including Stonegate Pubs, Dr Juice and Viva Italia.
Having raised a significant amount of capital, most recently in a May 2025 Series B round, Nory has grown its team and expanded from Ireland and the UK into Spain as well. It's using its funding to expand into the US, hire data scientists and accelerate its product development. As the hospitality industry struggles with high costs and low margins, Nory's solution will be increasingly essential for restaurants seeking to optimise their operations and turn a profit.
