NuCO2 operates a high-volume gas distribution network serving 155,000+ hospitality venues, carbonating over 40 million drinks daily across restaurants, convenience stores, and entertainment venues. The hiring mix is operations-heavy (80 roles) with significant logistics expansion, reflecting a supply-chain-first business model; engineering and product hiring remains minimal (5 combined roles), suggesting the competitive advantage lies in distribution infrastructure and compliance rather than software. Active projects cluster around fleet optimization, driver retention, and safety certification—operational problems typical of regulated logistics networks under growth pressure.
