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.

**About the Role**:
We’re hiring a **Pioneer Product Engineer (Applied AI)**to join our Singapore HQ.
This is a 0 1 role — hands-on, full-stack, and deeply interdisciplinary.

You’ll work directly with the founders and senior engineers to:

- Design and build fullstack systems using **Python (FastAPI/Django)**and **Next.js/React**
- Integrate **LLMs**, **diffusion models**, and **agentic workflows**into production pipelines
- Build and deploy intelligent systems that reason, automate, and adapt to real-world data
- Collaborate with internal business teams and clients to translate operational pain points into software
- Shape the technical foundation and product DNA of **East Coast Systems**as it prepares to spin out in 2026

This is not a typical engineering position — it’s an opportunity to help define and build an applied AI company from the ground up.

**What We’re Looking For**:

- Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or any technical discipline _(or equivalent practical experience) _

- 0-3 years of experience (internships count)

- Strong foundation in **Python**, **TypeScript**, **FastAPI**, **Next.js**, and **React**

- **Familiarity and foundational understanding of LLM architecture and agentic workflows**, including frameworks such as **LangChain**, **LangGraph**, **LlamaIndex**, and **Transformers**

- Exposure to **diffusion models**, **embeddings**, **vector databases**, and **retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)**pipelines

- Knowledge of modern **AI ecosystems and model standards**(OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Meta, HuggingFace, Stability, etc.)

- Demonstrated ability to **build independently**— side projects, prototypes, open-source contributions, or tools you’ve created

- Strong communication skills and ability to operate cross-functionally between product, engineering, and business

- A bias toward **execution, clarity, and ownership**

- Experience delivering production-grade AI products or web platforms

- Familiarity with modern data infrastructure (Supabase, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, Vercel, Fly.io)

- Interest in the business and operational side of hospitality or supply chain automation

- Desire to take on leadership responsibility as Flow Systems scales

**Tech Stack**:
**Languages**:Python, TypeScript
**Frameworks**:FastAPI, Django, Next.js, React
**AI Tooling**:LangChain, LangGraph, HuggingFace, OpenAI, Anthropic, Stability, Mistral
**Infra**:Supabase (PostgreSQL), Redis, Vercel, AWS

**Location**:
Singapore — this is an **in-person role**embedded within our HQ office, where product and operations meet.

**Interview Process**:
1. **Intro Call (15 min)**- brief alignment on skills, curiosity, and fit

2. **Technical Deep Dive**- live problem-solving in Python or TypeScript

3. **System Design Discussion**- explore your approach to building scalable AI systems

4. **Founder Session**- discuss your past work, motivations, and vision for applied AI

**Compensation & Perks**:
Competitive salary with full-time employment under Ebb & Flow Group.
Additional lifestyle benefits include:

- Early and fast access to new restaurants, bars, and concepts within our portfolio
- **Discounts across all Ebb & Flow Group brands**
- **Priority and skip-the-queue access**at partner venues and events
- Invitations to launches, tastings, and exclusive experiences within the Group’s hospitality and nightlife network

**In Summary**:
This is a rare opportunity to join an **AI-first spin-out inside a major hospitality group**, and to help shape the future of how real-world businesses interact with intelligence.
