AI-powered forecasting & replenishment for grocery. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We're a small team, which means this role comes with real product ownership from day one. You'll help decide what to build, talk directly to the grocery operators using our products, and own features end-to-end from idea to production.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years of relevant software engineering experience
- Strong proficiency in Python, TypeScript, and associated frameworks
- Experience building modern web applications with React and the surrounding ecosystem
- Strong product sense — you have opinions about UX, you've shipped features that users actually loved, and you can tell the difference between a feature that's done and one that's just deployed
- AI-native: you use Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools daily and ship significantly faster because of it
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs — tool use / function calling, RAG, agents, or evals — and familiarity with MCP or similar protocols
More about this role
At Guac, we're solving grocery food waste with AI. We forecast exactly how much of each product will sell, helping grocery retailers order and produce the perfect amount of inventory — and we're building AI-native tools that put those forecasts directly into the hands of store operators and buyers.
The grocery industry is enormous (it accounts for 4% of GDP) — and grocery food waste is a huge cost to grocers' bottom lines, but also to our planet.
Today, we're working with major supermarket chains in the US and Canada, and we've scaled to 7-figures in ARR. We're backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, 1984 Ventures, Collaborative Fund, and angels from Open AI, Instacart, and Citadel Securities.
We've brought together an exceptional team from Palantir, BCG, Oxford, Cambridge, and MIT to solve intellectually challenging problems and tackle food insecurity and waste with technology.
We're looking for talented engineers in NYC to join our mission.
