Build the Data Engine Behind a Global Food-Tech Platform MenuWise is not a typical SaaS company. Were rebuilding a 20-year-old platform from the ground up and creating one of the largest, cleanest, most structured culinary datasets in the world powering everything from menu costing and nutrition to AI ingredient intelligence used by professional chefs across Australia & New Zealand. To do this, we need a Python engineer who gets excited by the words: scraping at scale messy real-world data clever algorithms high-quality pipelines clean, elegant backend architecture If thats you, this is a career-defining role. What You Will Own (These Are Not Small Problems) You wont be writing CRUD APIs. You’ll be building the data backbone of MenuWise — systems that directly determine the correctness of ingredient prices, supplier data, and nutrition accuracy for thousands of real kitchens. 1. Scraping & Automation at Scale Build resilient scrapers with Scrapy / Playwright / Requests Normalise wildly inconsistent supplier data into clean, structured formats Handle throttling, retries, fallbacks, diff detection, and anti-bot measures Design monitoring & self-healing behaviours 2. ETL Pipelines That Must Never Break Build end-to-end pipelines for ingestion validation enrichment scheduling Write logic that can detect anomalies, inconsistencies, and missing data Benchmark ingredient prices across multiple sources with your own algorithms Convert raw, messy inputs into structured datasets used by ML models 3. High-Quality Backend Engineering Architect clean Django Admin workflows for internal data teams Improve automation, observability, and reliability across the backend Own features end-to-end with high autonomy in a senior team Make decisions that genuinely shape the future of a global product This is the type of role where the systems you build become the product . What We’re Looking For Not just a Django developer — a true Python engineer who loves data problems. Must-Have 3+ years Python backend experience Strong Django + Django Admin fundamentals Real hands-on experience building scrapers (Scrapy / Playwright / Requests) ETL pipelines, cron jobs, data loaders Strong problem-solving, algorithms, and structured-data thinking PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker Clean, maintainable code discipline Great-to-Have Celery, Airflow, workflow schedulers Experience with pricing datasets, ecommerce crawling, or scientific data Async Python Exposure to ML data preparation SaaS experience If you’ve ever built something that quietly runs in the background and moves millions of records reliably — we want you. Why This Role Is Rare You will build systems most engineers never get the chance to build Scraping, enrichment, validation, nutrition intelligence, price comparison — these are not common challenges. You’ll work with a small, senior team where your decisions actually matter No bureaucracy. No slow cycles. You will ship. Your work will be used every single day by real chefs and foodservice operators This is not abstract engineering. This is real-world impact. You will get to shape a 20-year-old product entering its global scale phase Very few engineers ever get to do this. If you’re the type of engineer who: wants to build things that matter , loves untangling messy data, likes owning systems end-to-end, gets excited about designing resilient pipelines, and prefers autonomy over processes— then this is the role you’ve been waiting for.
MenuWise is the modern rebuild of a 20-year enterprise platform used by chefs, hotels, hospitals, central kitchens, and large-scale foodservice operators across Australia and New Zealand. We are in the middle of a complete re-architecture. The product is being rebuilt from first principles: new workflows, new IA, new UX patterns, and a new design system. This is not a maintenance role. This is a chance to define the next decade of MenuWise. Our ambition is global. We are building the benchmark SaaS platform for ingredient intelligence, menu engineering, operational costing, nutrition compliance, and supplier analytics. The Role We are looking for a senior product designer who thinks deeply about systems, workflows, and human decision-making. Someone who can design high-density enterprise interfaces, model complex operational flows, and define interaction patterns that scale across multiple modules. This role involves working directly with the founder and engineering leads. You will influence product direction, structure how workflows function, and define the logic behind the interface - not just the visuals. What You Will Own Enterprise Workflow Architecture You will design multi-step operational flows across costing, ingredient intelligence, menu engineering, nutrition modelling, forecasting, supplier analysis, bulk operations, and cross-module interactions. High-Density, Data-Heavy Interfaces You will design contextual editing, advanced table patterns, inline edits, state logic, batch actions, comparison layouts, and operational screens that must work predictably in real kitchens. Design System Foundations You will build a design system that becomes the backbone of the entire platform. This includes tokens, components, rules, behavioural standards, documentation, and long-term governance. Product Architecture & UX Standards You will help define how the product is structured: IA, navigation, naming, patterns, consistency rules, and UX principles that engineering will follow across all modules. What Were Looking For Experience • 612+ years in product design in SaaS, enterprise software, fintech, ERP, ops tools, or internal systems • Strong capability in information architecture, workflow design, and interaction design • Deep experience designing data-heavy or operational interfaces • Evidence of design system leadership • Strong Figma capability (components, variants, tokens, auto-layout) Approach • You think in systems, not screens • You are comfortable working in ambiguous or complex problem spaces • You can explain reasoning clearly and back decisions with logic • You can collaborate directly with founders and engineering leads • You care about clarity, safety, predictability, and operational usability Why Join MenuWise? You will define the UX foundation for a global SaaS product. Your work will not be a layer on top of an existing product. it will shape the architecture itself. You will join a small, senior, high-autonomy team. No bureaucracy. No layers. Direct access to decision-makers. You will solve genuinely complex problems. Everything from cost propagation and supplier logic to multi-entity nutrition modelling. Your work will have visible, long-term impact. The patterns, components, and workflows you design will be used across every module for years.
