The Malarkey – SUPPORT STAFF ONLY– NO BS – Looking for Greatness (The Pearl – Portland) The Brothers Malarkey
Let’s Build an ICONIC Restaurant to Celebrate Portland & the Pearl!
Wood Fire Steak & Seafood | Serious Cocktails | Packed Dining Room
We're opening The Malarkey, a new upscale Pacific Northwest restaurant in Portland built around live-fire cooking, great steak, pristine sea
We’re building something special in Portland, and we’re looking for hospitality professionals who can bring confidence, warmth, grit, and serious presence to the floor. From front of the house to back of the house, we want to meet you!!
Our restaurant is an ode to Portland — its people, its creativity, its edge, its hospitality, and its culture! We want to embrace and respect Portland culture, but you don’t need to be from Portland to be part of what we’re building. You just need to care, show up, and be ready to contribute at a high level.
We’re building a team filled with all-stars who want to feel the pressure — the kind of people who thrive when the room is full, the energy is high, and every detail matters.
Who We’re Looking For
We want BADASSES!
People who are sharp, self-sufficient, emotionally intelligent, and hospitality-driven. People who don’t need to be micromanaged. People who can read a room, support their team, take ownership, and move with purpose.
High-volume, high-energy restaurant experience is a huge plus. If you’ve worked in busy, demanding environments and know how to stay calm, focused, and gracious under pressure, we want to talk to you.
Ideal Candidates Are:
- Warm, confident, and genuinely hospitality-minded
- Comfortable in high-volume, high-pressure environments
- Self-sufficient and proactive
- Strong communicators and team players
- Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture
- Able to anticipate needs before being asked
- Professional, polished, and adaptable
- Excited to help build culture, not just clock in for a shift
Relocating to Portland
If you’re considering relocating to Portland, we’d love to hear from you. You don’t have to be from here — but you do have to respect the city, its culture, and the people who make it what it is.
Portland has its own rhythm, personality, and point of view. Our goal is to create a restaurant that honors that, contributes to it, and becomes part of the fabric of the city. If you’re moving here, come curious, come humble, and come ready to work.
What We Offer
- A chance to be part of a new, ambitious hospitality team
- A high-energy, high-standard environment
- A culture built on trust, accountability, and respect
- Room to grow with the restaurant
- The opportunity to help shape something from the ground up
If you’re looking for hand-holding, this probably isn’t the place. If you’re looking for a team that trusts you, challenges you, and expects you to bring your best every day — let’s talk!
Pay: $16.80 - $30.00 per hour
