Compensation:
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.

- 5+ years of experience designing consumer-facing digital products

What We Do
The process of restaurant discovery, booking, and payments is broken. We’re here to change that. We’re building frictionless technology that optimizes revenue for restaurants and experiences for members, and we’re on a mission to overhaul the culture and economy of the hospitality industry along the way. Developed by proven leaders across hospitality, media, and consumer-tech, Dorsia’s revenue optimization model solves supply-and-demand inefficiencies in the restaurant industry by mutually guaranteeing tables for diners and revenue for restaurants. By bridging dynamic pricing and seamless processes, Dorsia is creating a curated marketplace where it hasn’t existed before, powering the most coveted restaurants of our time. We are currently in the Beta launch phase in New York City and The Hamptons, with plans to expand to Miami, Los Angeles, and additional culinary cities this Fall.
