Ship fast, taste the results
Ideas become features in days, not quarters. Everyone here shipped something users touched in their first week, then watched real people use it that same night.
Careers · we are hiring
a restaurant again.
Spotguide turns the food videos people save and forget into places they actually go. We are a small, fast, food-obsessed team, and the early days are the best days to join something like this.

How we work
Small team. Real users. Every night.
The way we work is the product's best feature. Here is what you are signing up for.
Food-obsessed, genuinely
We build Spotguide because we are the user: the person with 400 saved Reels and no idea where any of those restaurants are. Team debates are as likely to be about birria as architecture.
Owners, not passengers
Small team, zero bureaucracy. You own problems end to end: the idea, the design, the code, the metric that proves it worked. Nobody hands you a ticket. You find what matters.
AI-native from day one
AI is not a feature we bolted on. It is how the product works and how we work. We use the best tools available to move like a team five times our size, and you will be expected (and taught) to do the same.
Direct and kind
Feedback is fast, honest, and aimed at the work, never the person. No politics to play, no meetings that should have been messages.
Grow with the map
Joining at this stage means your fingerprints end up on everything. The people here now will define what Spotguide becomes. That is the deal, and it is a good one.
- Ship in your first week
- Best AI tools, taught and expected
- Small team, big fingerprints
- Trying new spots counts as research
- No meetings that should be messages
- Your name on the map
