Tebi is creating the first Connected Restaurant Management System that makes hospitality flow. In one seamless platform, Tebi embeds sales, reservations, kitchen prep, payments, and all the data that powers it, creating smooth service and intuitive insights.

Founded by Arnout Schuijff, co-founder of Adyen, and backed by €50 million in funding from Index Ventures & CapitalG, Tebi is built in service of hospitality first. Thousands of restaurants, cafés, bars, and coffee shops across the Netherlands, UK, and more countries soon, love running on Tebi.

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help us build the data foundations that power everything from product decisions to personalized customer experiences. You’ll design, maintain, and scale the pipelines that move and transform data across our stack, making it usable, reliable, and accessible for teams across the company.

You’ll collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to embed intelligence into the Tebi OS whether it’s aggregating financial data at scale to provide real-time business insights, automating repetitive tasks for restaurant teams, or powering internal tools that help us work more efficiently.

This is a high-impact role for someone who loves building clean, scalable systems and gets excited about turning messy data into structured, trustworthy insight.

• Build and maintain data pipelines and infrastructure to enable hospitality businesses make sound financial and operational decisions

• Own data infrastructure for real-time and batch processing systems

What is Restaurant Software?

Restaurants and other merchants use various software systems such as Point of Sale (POS), Reservations, Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), Payments, Inventory, Staffing, and the list goes on. These systems all need to speak to each other which they frequently don’t. It’s a mess, and we are fixing it.

From buying a croissant at a cafe to having dinner with friends, it’s a €4 Trillion+ global market and a critical part of everyday life in today's economy.
