Who We Are
Hungryroot is the all-in-one recipe and grocery service. We're here to help people feel their best and make grocery shopping, cooking, and enjoying healthy food easier than ever. So, we're creating the first-of-its-kind food experience that puts people (and the planet) first, built for busy lives and individual needs.
We are a distributed team built on top talent from over 10 states across the U.S. While we have an office in NYC, we support employees creating “offices” wherever they are. We believe in fostering team connection and collaboration across all of our “offices” - so don’t expect to be online at 6 am to make a meeting if you’re on the West coast. Expect to attend regular team building events, and to be able to work from the beach every once in a while. Expect to be treated like an owner who cares about our common goal, not someone who has to clock in and out of work.
About the Role
Hungryroot is looking for a Staff Fullstack Software Engineer to join our growing Internal Services & Architecture team.
The Staff Fullstack Software Engineer will drive some of the most critical technical decisions for the Internal Services & Architecture team, such as building performant, fault tolerant API for internal web applications, designing/migrating web services to support the internal teams, designing/building modular, performant frontend applications or proof-of-concept projects. This individual will need to draw inspiration from past experiences and contribute high quality code, as well as quickly pick up new concepts, codebase, and technology (libraries, third-party API, etc.). As a Staff-level Fullstack Software Engineer this person must take pride in code quality, best practices, performance, and helping others on the team adopt some of these practices and/or new technology. They will need to be an effective and efficient communicator, who can explain complex systems to developers of all experience levels and non-technical business stakeholders alike. A Staff-level Fullstack Software Engineer will need to know when to make necessary tradeoffs and approach challenges with professionalism, positivity, and an open-mind.
