Spoiler Alert is looking for a Software Engineer to help us expand the capabilities of our B2B platform for food brands and distributors. Our platform prevents food waste and recovers value and nutrition in the supply chain by helping food brands avoid sending edible products to the landfill, whether through sales or donations. You will be an early member of our engineering team, writing and testing core features of our products. You will have a material impact, joining an early-stage startup led by a hard-working, dedicated, diverse, and passionate team.
We want to work with people who have an active interest in advancing our mission of minimizing food waste and recovering value in the supply chain. We believe that high quality software results in the best outcomes and quality software takes time, reflection, and continuous learning. To that end, we collectively foster an environment of trust, respect, and empathy so that we can strive together to master and share the craft of software. We partner closely with Product and Design to reliably ship validated, delightful user experiences.
We don’t expect you to already be fluent in our current tech stack or in the nuances of inventory management. We do expect you to learn and grow with us.
Spoiler Alert is a Boston-based software company helping perishable CPG brands manage excess and slow-moving inventory. Working exclusively at the manufacturing plant or distribution center level, Spoiler Alert offers a best-in-class B2B sales platform that enables food & beverage brands to manage their liquidation processes across a private network of discount retailers and nonprofit channels - with a heavy focus on maximizing value recovery, strengthening customer relationships, and increasing the effectiveness of supply chain managers tasked with handling these typically manual sales processes. Founded by alumni of MIT, Spoiler Alert works with some of the world's largest brands, including Campbell's, Danone, HelloFresh, KeHE Distributors, and Kraft Heinz, along with a growing network of discount channels committed to increasing affordable food access.
While we care deeply about our customers’ financial and operational improvements, our team’s hearts and minds are motivated by the impact our work has in addressing some of the largest environmental and social opportunities of our generation - at the intersection of food waste, resource deficiency, climate change, affordable nutrition, and hunger. We couldn’t be more excited to be combining critical technology breakthroughs - including workflow automation, augmented intelligence, wholesale ecommerce, traceability, and supply chain management - to an industry that is so critical for daily life.
Born out of MIT in 2015, Spoiler Alert is headquartered in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood and is backed by some of the nation's leading food, agriculture, and supply chain investors. For more about Spoiler Alert, visit spoileralert.com or our social channels: Twitter & LinkedIn.
