About EatClub

At EatClub, we believe restaurants and bars are the beating heart of every city's culture.

Whether it's discovering a hidden gem, grabbing a late-night takeaway, or meeting friends for a drink, our mission is simple: help the hospitality industry thrive through smart, powerful tech.

Our platform helps over 2 million customers discover top restaurants and access real-time deals that save them up to 50% off the bill.

We empower more than 4,000 venues to fill empty tables, increase foot traffic, and maximise revenue.

Recently ranked #11 on the 2025 Deloitte Tech Fast 50 Now is an exciting time to join our team.

Initially co-founded by Marco Pierre White and leaders in the food tech scene, we're now a 150+ person scaleup that's growing fast and making waves in the industry.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

Join at the MVP stage of a new product and shape it from zero-to-one
Work directly with real venue operators, solving real operational problems
Work on a genuine industry gamechanger that "closes the loop" between demand prediction and revenue generation
Operate in an AI-first culture where experimentation and leverage are expected
Own features from first sketch to production code, no silos

We're building the next generation of our venue management platform, analytics dashboards, machine learning powered forecasting, and an intelligent actions feed that helps restaurants make smarter decisions every day.

A Day-in-a-Life of our Design Engineer

Design Engineer will spend most of their time turning messy, real-world hospitality workflows into clean, usable product surfaces and then building them in production React.

You'll Regularly Work With

The PM to shape what gets built next
Backend engineers integrating APIs and data pipelines
Real restaurant operators using the product daily
The broader engineering team shipping in short cycles

On Any Given Week, You Will

Turn a rough product idea into wireframes in Figma, pressure-test it with PM and customers, then build it in React
Join a call with a restaurant operator to understand how they forecast demand, then redesign the workflow so it takes 3 clicks instead of 12
Build and ship a new analytics dashboard component connected to live data
Debug a TypeScript issue in the morning and run a design critique in the afternoon
Improve the component library so future features ship faster and stay consistent
Push to production multiple times a week, seeing your work live within hours

There's ambiguity. There's speed. There's ownership.

You won't be handed perfectly defined tickets. You'll help define them.

Some weeks you'll be deep in interface design. Other weeks, you'll be refining data visualisation or improving interaction flows so that insights feel trustworthy and actionable.

The product MVP works today, but it needs someone who can elevate the experience and own the front-end as it scales.

Type of projects you'll be working on at EatClub…

Designing and building AI-powered forecasting interfaces that help venues predict demand
Creating analytics dashboards that turn raw operational data into clear, actionable insights
Developing an intelligent "actions feed" that recommends what venue operators should do next
Evolving our design system and React component library as the product scales
Running lightweight discovery with customers and shaping product direction with PM

You have…

Strong React and TypeScript skills, you ship production-ready code
Fluency in Figma, from wireframes to high-fidelity, developer-ready specs
Fluency in prototyping tools to spin up quick demos for stakeholders and customers
Experience shipping complete features end-to-end
Comfort talking directly to customers and turning feedback into design decisions
The ability to work autonomously without heavy oversight
Strong "Bias to Action" and takes initiative.
"AI-First" approach when it comes to your workflows

It would be extra awesome if you also had…

Experience building dashboards or data visualisations
Experience contributing to or owning a design system
Exposure to SaaS, B2B, or hospitality tech

You are…

Able to close the gap between design and implementation instead of throwing work over the wall
Prefer shipping and learning over polishing endlessly
Curious and care about users' problems and love to use their feedback before deciding what to build
Able to think in systems and components, not just screens
Noticing small interface details, spacing, states, transitions, and are able fix them
Use AI tools as part of your workflow and stay curious about how AI can improve products

If you do a good job…

Your impact will be obvious as restaurant operators will be making faster, smarter decisions because the product feels intuitive, clear, and actionable.

Adoption will increase not because we pushed it, but because the interface makes sense the moment they log in.

Features will move from concept to live product in days, not quarters, and you'll be trusted to take ideas from rough thinking through data validation and into production React without heavy oversight.

Maybe this role is not for you if….

You see design and engineering as strictly separate disciplines
You prefer long design phases and heavy sign-off before shipping
You're uncomfortable with changing priorities or ambiguity
You want a large, structured team with defined handoffs
You prefer specialising deeply in only design or only engineering

One last note:
even if you feel that you don't meet all the criteria above, we encourage you to apply.

Past work experience is not the only indicator of future success, and we are on the look out for hungry talent who wants to grow with us.

So if you want to be a part of something remarkable, then we're excited to hear from you.
