Job Description

Afresh is on a mission to eliminate food waste and make fresh food accessible to all. Our first A.I.-powered solution optimizes ordering, forecasting, and store operations for fresh food departments in brick-and-mortar grocers. With our Fresh Operating System, regional and national grocery retailers have placed $1.6 billion in produce orders across the US and we've helped our partners prevent 6.9 million pounds of food from going to waste. Working at Afresh represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to have massive social impact at scale by leveraging uncommonly impactful software – we hope you'll join us!

About the role

Beyond helming our production infrastructure, the software engineering infrastructure team is the caretaker and standards-setter of all of Afresh’s internal systems. From automating continuous delivery pipelines to building out a unified single-sign-on identity platform, team members are singularly empowered to make sure that Afresh stays abreast of the latest methodologies for running a modern fully-in-the-cloud organization.   Our systems are written in Python and TypeScript and run fully containerized on top of Azure Kubernetes Service provisioned with Terraform. We deploy through CircleCI several times a day and rely on Datadog and Sentry to alert us when anything goes wrong.   If you're interested in building software to support our mission, we hope you'll join us!
  • Orchestration: Provision containerized applications in Kubernetes clusters on Azure cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Azure SDK.
  • Observability: Centralize all logs and metrics and build monitors that will roll back a deploy if the system misbehaves. Friday afternoon deploys should not phase you.
  • Developer Relations: Act as a consultant to other engineering teams to enable them to build our platform and expand it in a consistent and secure fashion.
    • Cloud Architecture: Use the best technologies to solve our expanding list of challenges without falling for the trope that “just because a famous huge company does it it’s the best solution for everyone.”
    • Security: Firmly push back against anyone who tries to deploy unverified code that could lead to Afresh having to email all our partners apologizing for losing their data or placing fraudulent orders.
    • Outlook: You are comfortable digging into other people’s source code in search of the root cause of a problem and you automate all the things.

Skills and experience
The above represent attributes our ideal candidate possesses. We encourage all highly-qualified candidates to apply, even if they do not fulfill all the listed criteria.

  • You understand the meaning of infrastructure-as-code and have used frameworks like Terraform and Ansible to automate provisioning new cloud resources.
  • You are able to solve problems in distributed GNU/Linux systems and are comfortable tracing requests across applications, systems and networks.
  • When the perfect tool wasn’t available you wrote one yourself and taught others how to use it.
  • You know the difference between authentication and authorization and have horror stories to share about why shared passwords and unrestricted access are evil.
