Work With Us!

Petit Amuse is a place to discover and purchase foods made by small-batch producers that aren't available in nearby stores.

Our long term vision is to improve the quality of what America eats by preserving and growing artisan food production, making artisan foods an accessible and consistent part of the everyday diet.

We feature a $10 monthly subscription box, where customers receive 3-4 samples of different high-end artisan foods each month. They can then purchase more of what they like in full-size through our online store, which is paired with a first-of-its-kind warehouse on the ground.

Once we have collected sufficient customer data, we plan to leverage machine learning to customize the contents of the subscription sample boxes and to personalize the online user experience. We also plan to build tools to integrate social components into the discovery process.

Founding Developer / CTO

We are looking for someone with passion for what we're doing and the technical chops to make it happen. You will join as a founder to round out a 3-man founding team, with equity compensation and a salary after we secure seed funding (targeted within 6 months). The two existing founders whom you will be joining are highly educated (Columbia MBA & Stanford Product Design), talented (significant business & user experience), detailed and driven. Our current site is only in alpha, and there is a lot to be improved upon.

If you are interested in creating an entirely new, data-driven, custom online retail experience and/or are passionate about food, then we'd love to discuss with you the possibility of joining our venture.
