Spice Data

Spice Data is a Y Combinator-backed startup founded in 2019 by Richard Kreger and Cameron Cairns. The company focuses on the restaurant industry by providing data licensing services to Fortune 500 enterprises. Spice Data’s core product is not a specific dataset but a robust system for data collection, cleaning, and delivery. Their infrastructure processes over 100 million data points monthly, supporting a profitable and rapidly growing business. With a minimal dilution from YC and angel investors, Spice Data maintains a lean structure. The company operates from a downtown San Francisco office and is led by experienced founders. They are known for their supportive environment, where new hires can make an immediate impact. For backend engineers, the opportunity involves building and maintaining systems that process vast amounts of data, while product associates focus on data refinement and customer delivery.
