Workplace Philosophy at Dorsia
At Dorsia, we believe that culture eats strategy. The best ideas in the world mean nothing without the right people around the table and the right chemistry between them. We are, unapologetically, a people-first organization.
In-Person Matters
We’re creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for the most discerning audience in the world. That doesn’t happen over Zoom. It happens through collisions: a spark across a desk, a kitchen-side conversation that unlocks a partnership, the energy of ideas felt, not typed. That’s why in-office culture is non-negotiable at Dorsia.
Who We Hire
We don’t subscribe to check-the-box hiring. We hire for merit and mindset, which naturally creates a team with varied backgrounds. What unites us isn’t demographics, it’s a shared vision: to build the social operating system for the cultural vanguard.
Lifestyle Hours
We’re not a 9-to-5 company. Our lifestyle mirrors our members. Early flights, after-work events, and late-night sprints when the work demands it. But we love what we do, and we definitely love a good party.
High Performance Culture
Working at Dorsia isn’t for everyone—and that’s the point. Our culture is designed for builders, not passengers. We move fast, set ambitious standards, and expect people to rise to them. If you have the talent and the drive, this will be a ride to remember.
A Final Word
We’re building something special. It will take long hours and relentless effort. It’s not for everyone. For those with the metabolism, you’ll create something that changes how culture is lived. And that’s the kind of work worth your life’s energy.
Benefits
- health insurance
- vision insurance
- 401(k)
- paid time off

About this role
Dorsia is building ML systems that sit at the core of a hospitality marketplace—powering search, recommendations, pricing, fraud detection, and demand prediction for an exclusive dining platform. This role offers genuine end-to-end ownership: you'll move models from conception through production deployment, working with real-time inference pipelines and batch workflows on AWS infrastructure. You'll collaborate directly with product and operations teams to ship features that affect how members discover experiences and how restaurants manage capacity.
The position demands 5–10 years of software or ML engineering experience with a proven track record shipping production models. You need strong Python and SQL fundamentals, hands-on familiarity with PyTorch or TensorFlow, and comfort with orchestration tools like Airflow. Experience in recommender systems, pricing optimization, or marketplace dynamics is valuable but not required; what matters more is the ability to tie model performance to business outcomes and move quickly in a high-agency environment.
This is a full-time, in-office role in SoHo with a salary range of $100K–$250K depending on level. Dorsia emphasizes in-person collaboration and a high-performance culture—expect variable hours aligned with business needs and a team oriented toward shipping fast. The company offers standard benefits including medical coverage, 401(k), and equity, plus perks like in-office lunch and employee dining credits.
