nory - Senior Product Engineer - Workforce Management
Requirements
• Backend depth is the primary bar. You've built and owned production backend systems — APIs, data models, distributed services — that real customers depend on. You can describe specific data modelling decisions you made personally, the constraints you were navigating, and why you made the trade-offs you did. You've designed for failure, not just for the happy path. • You work across the full stack. Frontend isn't your comfort zone, but it's not a blocker either. You've shipped full-stack features end-to-end and you're comfortable doing it again. You don't wait for a frontend specialist to pick up your backend work. • You own problems, not tickets. You can point to things you personally shaped — not just delivered. You've pushed back on requirements when the problem wasn't well-defined, proposed a different approach when the original plan was wrong, and taken accountability for outcomes, not just output. When you describe your work, you say "I decided" not "we decided." • You've built in constrained environments. Whether that's a startup, a high-stakes initiative inside a larger company, or a greenfield system with a tight deadline — you've navigated genuine ambiguity, made decisions without perfect information, and shipped something real. You know what an MVP actually means, and you've shipped one. • You engage with customers directly. You've spoken to users, let that change what you built, and can give a specific example of when it did. You don't treat customer feedback as something that happens upstream of engineering. • You're pragmatic under pressure. You've deliberately shipped something imperfect to get fast feedback. You know when to build the right solution and when to build the fastest one that proves the point. You can explain the difference. • Experience building scheduling systems, labour compliance tools, payroll integrations, or workforce management products • Familiarity with US labour law, FLSA compliance, or multi-jurisdiction employment rules • Experience designing systems that handle regulatory or compliance constraints - where data integrity and correctness aren't optional • Exposure to AI or ML in operational contexts - forecasting, optimisation, or scheduling automation • Prior experience mentoring engineers or raising technical standards across a team • What you’ll get in return: • 🌎 Remote-first working environment • 💰 Competitive salary depending on experience • 📈 Meaningful equity, at Nory everyone is an owner! • 🌴 35 days of paid leave per year (including bank holidays) • 🏥 Comprehensive private health insurance via Irish Life (Ireland) and Axa (UK) • 🍼 Enhanced parental leave and baby loss support • 📚 Learning & development culture – €1000 personal annual budget + quarterly book budget • 🖥️ €250 home office workspace budget • 🥳 Regular team offsites & socials • 🌎 Work from anywhere for up to 3 months of the year • 📍Offices in either London 🇬🇧 , Dublin 🇮🇪 or Spain 🇪🇸 • 👏 And much more • Our vision is to build a better future for the restaurant industry. • One where operators are in control, margins are stronger, and frontline teams can build careers they’re proud of.

Responsibilities
• Our teams are cross-functional with a high degree of autonomy and responsibility for their product. As a Senior Product Engineer, your role goes further than that of a software engineer - you will literally engineer the product: apply your deep understanding of technology and the domain to plan, design, build, test, ship, support and operate the WFM product across the entire stack to solve real problems and add vital value for our customers every day. • You will collaborate closely with designers, customer success and other engineers to enhance the product and the system behind it in a tight feedback loop with leadership, production and our customers. • Here are some key projects you'll be working on with our team: • Create sophisticated labour forecasting tools to predict staffing needs. We're using ML/AI to help our customers anticipate demand fluctuations and schedule the right staff, at the right time, always. • Evolve our data model to support complex scheduling patterns, labour rules, and compliance requirements. The workforce management domain covers everything from schedule building to legislative compliance. • Collaborate with our Data team on scheduling AI that balances business needs, employee preferences, and labour laws. We're solving complex optimisation problems to create efficient schedules while prioritising staff wellbeing. • Integrate with payroll and HR systems to create a seamless experience across the employee lifecycle. This involves building robust APIs and data pipelines that securely handle sensitive personnel data. • Build out our payroll product to help customers run payroll with higher accuracy and fewer manual steps. This includes end-to-end integrations across systems so the whole flow is consistent, reliable, and closer to an autopilot experience for operators. • Support our US expansion by working closely with Product and Sales to unblock customer needs, ship the right capabilities for the market, and iterate quickly based on real customer feedback.
