VP of Engineering
Satsuma
About the Company Satsuma.ai (Formerly MealMe.ai) is building the infrastructure layer that connects merchants to the new world of AI agents and conversational interfaces. As AI systems like ChatGPT, Alexa, and others begin to search, recommend, and transact on behalf of users, Satsuma ensures products are visible, accessible, and monetizable in real time. We partner directly with merchants to make their products and services searchable and orderable by AI. Through our API and Merchant Gateway, we enable real-time access to structured data—like product catalogs, menus, pricing, and availability—while giving merchants full control over access, pricing, and usage through their Merchant Console. Whether it’s a grocery chain, restaurant group, or large retailer, Satsuma transforms AI traffic into revenue by routing it through merchant-owned infrastructure. Our platform unlocks two major value streams: high-margin data monetization and increased order volume from AI-native channels. Satsuma is backed by leading investors such as Mercury Fund, Palm Drive Capital, Quiet Capital, Slow Ventures, AIX Ventures, and more. We are growing rapidly as we help merchants own their presence in the era of AI commerce.

This is a foundational leadership role where you’ll shape the architecture that powers high-value AI agents and enterprise integrations—helping Satsuma become the default infrastructure layer for real-time data access and actions. We are a fast-moving, execution-focused team.
