MarginEdge is an AI-forward company helping restaurants run smarter with clearer insights, simpler workflows, and less back-office friction. We give operators more control over their back of house, so they can spend less time buried in admin and more time doing what they love. Sound like your kind of thing? Great, let’s dive in!

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to shape scalable, intuitive experiences for our larger clients. AI and automation are central to how we accelerate design experimentation and product innovation—helping us move faster, build smarter, and deliver more value to operators. In this role, you’ll design workflows that reflect how real restaurants operate, making the complex feel simple, the big picture easy to see, and operators confident as they grow. That means turning powerful AI into solutions that feel as supportive as they are smart, and working across teams to turn complexity into clarity and insights into action.

If you love making the complex feel intuitive and designing tools that actually get used, we’d love to meet you.

MarginEdge: Where hospitality meets technology

As a team built by former (and current!) restaurant operators, our mission is to bring operators the same energy, attention to detail, and passion that they bring to their guests. Our culture is deeply rooted in service, partially because that’s where so many of our team come from (including everyone on our Business Development team), but also because we believe it is just the right way to run a business. We design our software with profound empathy for the complexity of running a restaurant, and the goal of making the magic just a little easier for operators by taking the complex (read: very annoying) back office tasks off their plate, while empowering them with real-time data.

Our founders share a deep history in both owning and operating restaurants and in building successful tech companies. We are venture-backed and serve 10,000+ restaurants across the US and Canada.

We enable restaurants to make magic while knowing we are doing the same for them.

We have the utmost respect for our clients and because of this, we are unable to hire their current employees.

What’s it like to work for MarginEdge?

Imagine the fun of a great restaurant - surrounded by a team of people (including some that you help to manage!) who care about hospitality, care about quality, and care about each other - then subtract the long nights, weekends, drunk customers at the bar...et voila, MarginEdge!

We work hard, we work fast and we fuel our work with a commitment of transparency from leadership, straight talk and trust between teams. We believe that the best people do their best work when they feel empowered - so whether you are remote or in our office (likely eating a catered lunch from our clients in our baller, brand new penthouse HQ in Ballston) you get to work with your manager to call your shot on what works best for you. Did we mention it has a full commercial kitchen and is walking distance (covered walking, that is) from the metro?
