Founding Engineer (Full-Stack)

About The Role

Global retail represents $30 trillion USD in revenue, but the revenue tools available to manage retail revenue decisions are antiquated. Operators in retail organizations make ad hoc pricing decisions in spreadsheets, without sufficient measurement or accountability.

At Luca, we are on a mission to bring world class price optimization solutions to retail, powered by machine learning and delivered via an intuitive, data rich and configurable dashboard.

We were founded in January 2023, and are backed by Y Combinator and Menlo Ventures. We are a small team of engineers and data scientists, and serve mid to large-size enterprise retailers.

Today we serve several grocery, apparel, CPG and furniture retailers who have deeply entrenched Luca into their daily pricing and promotional processes. Our customers rave about Luca’s easy-to-use UI and ML-powered insights. We are now looking for the engineer who helps us take these early signals of PMF and helps us make it repeatable and scalable.
