Job Description: Hi Auto is the virtual assistant for restaurants.

Integrate with new POS systems and digital menu boards
Build data pipelines to process restaurant menus

Debug and solve complex customer issues
Lead communication with integration partners to deliver the integrations
Estimate, plan and deliver the integration projects
