About Seated

Seated exists to help restaurants thrive in an industry defined by thin margins and underutilized capacity. We connect thousands of restaurants with millions of high-intent diners through demand-driven pricing and rewards, helping restaurants fill empty tables, reach new guests, increase visit frequency, and drive profitable incremental revenue.

Since launching, billions of dollars in restaurant spend have flowed through Seated, and hundreds of millions of dollars in rewards have been paid to Seated consumers. Today, Seated operates across 20+ U.S. markets and continues to expand nationally.

Our core marketplace is thriving. Now, we’re focused on expanding the value Seated creates for restaurants and consumers and building the company’s next major growth engine.

  • Experience building high‑availability systems, including low‑latency APIs and distributed RESTful/gRPC services; practiced in backward compatibility, deterministic behavior, and idempotency

Preferred Experience

  • Solid knowledge of distributed databases and scalable, fault‑tolerant caching
  • Experience with AI agents and prompt engineering; able to build web features using agentic workflows and modern frontend frameworks

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
