About NOE

At NOE Coffee, we believe great coffee begins with people who care deeply about what they do.

We’re building a team of coffee enthusiasts—people who are curious about the craft, committed to improving, and energized by working alongside others who share their standards. We value precision and consistency, but also the hard work, humility, and teamwork required to deliver them every day.

We believe the best cafés are shaped by the coffee they serve, the guests they welcome, and the teammates beside them. If that sounds like you, you’ll feel at home at NOE.

About the Role

We’re looking for a coffee enthusiast who takes pride in their work, leads by example, and enjoys helping others improve. You’ll lead daily café operations, mentor the barista team, maintain our quality standards, and help create an environment where curiosity and craftsmanship can thrive.

Coffee knowledge is important, but so are passion, dedication, and a strong work ethic. We’re looking for someone who is eager to keep learning, takes ownership of their responsibilities, and wants to grow alongside NOE Coffee.
