Product Engineer

About Ebb & Flow Group Ebb & Flow Group is a Singapore-based hospitality group that owns and operates restaurants, cafes, and consumer brands across the region. Our next chapter is East Coast Systems - a 2026 technology spin-out focused on building and commercialising Applied AI systems for the hospitality and F&B industry . Flow Systems will take the group's internal technology stack - developed over years of operating complex F&B businesses - and scale it into a full suite of enterprise-grade AI products for global deployment. Our mission: To build AI systems that make physical industries intelligent - tools that understand data, context, and human workflows as well as the people who use them. About the Team Our engineering team is small, fast-moving, and deeply technical. We build practical, production-grade AI products that directly support and transform F&B operations. Our current platforms include: - Grapestack - predictive inventory, pricing & demand automation - SupaDriver - intelligent routing and delivery orchestration - BearHug - generative customer engagement & loyalty automation (in development) - Geddit - AI-powered procurement software for food, wine, and ingredient sourcing (in development) These products form the foundation of Flow Systems - an ecosystem of applied AI tools purpose-built for restaurants, hotels, and consumer brands.
