About Bytes AI

AI ordering agents for restaurants.

Bytes AI is an AI-powered ordering and guest engagement platform built for restaurants, helping them capture every order, remember every guest, and turn first-time customers into loyal regulars. We’re a fast-growing team of 20 based in New York City, working closely with restaurant owners and traveling frequently to industry trade shows, customer locations, and events to drive innovation and growth.

The Role

You will be our first dedicated creative hire and own the Bytes brand across video, photography, and social, from concept to final cut. You run the channels yourself, shoot in restaurants and at trade shows, and turn every product release into content. As output grows, you hire and lead the creative team. This is a founder-level role. You work directly with the founders.

What Will You Do

Brand and Creative Direction

• Set the visual and editorial direction for Bytes across every channel.
• Keep our identity consistent in color, type, tone, and motion.
• Make a technical product clear to a restaurant owner in seconds.

Video and Photography

• Shoot and edit product demos, customer stories, founder content, and short-form video.
• Photograph restaurants, the team, events, and the product in use.
• Capture clean screen recordings and product UI for launches and sales.

Social Media

• Run every channel day to day: plan, shoot, edit, post, and reply.
• Hold a daily publishing cadence and a live content calendar.
• Read what performs each week and adjust fast.

Trade Shows and Sales

• Travel with the team to restaurant trade shows, customer visits, and sales meetings.
• Capture on-site and publish the same day.
• Produce booth visuals, decks, one-pagers, and launch assets with sales and product.

What Are We Looking For

• A portfolio and reel showing several years of professional video and photo work.
• Experience creating content for a software company. B2B SaaS strongly preferred.
• Hands-on production: you shoot, light, record sound, and edit yourself, fast.
• Fluency in Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve, plus Lightroom.
• A record of growing a brand on social, with the work to show for it.
• Strong design sense and the ability to make a technical product feel simple.
• Founder-level work ethic: high volume, high bar, no playbook needed.
• Based in New York City, on-site with the team, and able to travel often, sometimes on short notice.

Nice to have

• B2B AI or SaaS content experience.
• Restaurant, hospitality, or food content.
• Motion graphics and animation, including tools such as Adobe After Effects.
• Experience hiring and managing creatives or freelancers.
• Spanish, Arabic, or another language our customers speak.

Compensation
