About Seekeasy

Seekeasy helps restaurants and hospitality businesses unlock revenue growth with creator-led demand intelligence. We turn social media signals into actionable insights on trends, customer demand, and marketing opportunities and help brands activate on these insights with creator marketing campaigns through Seekeasy’s managed creator marketplace. As a funded seed-stage startup and a veteran team, we're on a mission to leverage AI to deliver the tools to bring creators and restaurants together to ensure restaurants are actively part of the social media conversation.

What You'll Do

Build our AI intelligence platform: Design, implement, and continuously improve AI-powered workflows that transform structured and unstructured data into actionable business intelligence. Build systems that enable AI to perform increasingly sophisticated analytical work while maintaining quality and reliability.

Build our analytics infrastructure: Develop scalable data pipelines, dashboards, reporting systems, and analytical models that power product decisions, customer insights, restaurant intelligence, and strategic partnerships.

Turn data into competitive advantage: Analyze millions of AI-generated restaurant attributes and social media signals to identify emerging consumer trends, marketplace opportunities, product insights, and business recommendations that influence company strategy.

Shape how we use AI: Develop and refine AI workflows, prompt engineering strategies, evaluation frameworks, and automation systems that continuously increase the speed, quality, and scale of analytical work across the company.

Ensure our intelligence platform is working: Continuously improve the quality, accuracy, and reliability of our data and AI outputs. Monitor data quality, identify anomalies, troubleshoot issues, and optimize systems for scalability and performance.

Lead and mentor: Help establish best practices for AI-assisted analysis, automation, and data-driven decision making. Set the standards for the team of people and AIs we will eventually have.

Who You Are

You are an AI multiplier: You don't simply use AI. You instinctively think about how to teach AI to perform the work you do so you can continuously increase your impact. You automate first and repeat yourself as little as possible.

You are a builder: You love to build, ship, get feedback, and iterate because that's the only way to know what's working and what isn't.

You are an owner: You take pride in your work and can operate autonomously to drive your work forward. Seekeasy is not the right fit for people who default to waiting for instructions.

You are a team player: You see yourself as part of the team, not just as someone working on the same project. Whatever it takes for the team to succeed, you want to be a part of it.

You are insight obsessed: You love finding patterns hidden inside messy data and turning them into decisions that create meaningful business impact.
