Line Cook

Le Calamar is seeking a motivated, curious, and detail-oriented Line Cook / Garde Manger to join our Michelin-recognized kitchen in Austin.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their craft, has a strong foundation in the kitchen, and is excited to continue learning and growing. Technical skills and attention to detail are important to us, but we believe that with the right attitude, curiosity, and work ethic, skills can always be taught and refined.

What truly makes Le Calamar special is our close-knit team and the culture we've built together. From the kitchen to the dining room, we operate as one team, supporting one another, sharing in our successes, and creating an environment rooted in mutual respect, collaboration, and genuine camaraderie. We take our food and hospitality seriously, but never ourselves too seriously.

You'll work closely with Executive Chef Casey Wall and our two sous chefs Aiden & Al, honing your technique, developing your palate, and deepening your understanding of French cuisine through the creative use of seasonal Texan ingredients.

Above all, we're looking for someone who brings positive energy, humility, and a willingness to roll up their sleeves and grow alongside us. We're a small, passionate team that believes great food and great hospitality start with taking care of each other.
