Job Description
About Imperfect:Founded in 2015, Imperfect Foods, a Certified B CorporationTM (B CorpTM), is the leading online grocer at the forefront of eliminating food waste and building a better food system. We work directly with farmers and producers to rescue, redistribute, and develop goods across multiple grocery categories, and to date have rescued more than 150 million pounds of food from lesser outcomes. Our customers enjoy a customizable service that is more affordable and more environmentally friendly than the average trip to the grocery store.
Mission: At Imperfect Foods, we're on a mission to eliminate food waste and build a better food system for everyone.
Net Zero Carbon Commitment: Imperfect Foods pledged to become a net-zero carbon operation by 2030. To do that, we’re working to optimize every part of our business operations and supply chain to mitigate waste, and are switching to 100% renewable energy in our fulfillment centers and vehicle fleet by 2027.
Please consider completing the optional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) survey below. Doing so will help keep us accountable for the DEI commitments we have made as a company. By choosing to disclose elements of your identity, you are informing us about our candidate pool and the ways we can continue to improve making Imperfect Foods an inclusive company for everyone. Responses will in no way affect your candidacy for the position you apply for. Information collected will be kept secure and confidential and will be used solely to evaluate our DEI efforts. We thank you in advance for helping us to become a better company for people of all backgrounds.
About the Role:
The software engineering team builds the eCommerce platform and internal tooling that support our mission to eliminate food waste and build a kinder food system. Engineers don’t just build widgets -- we participate in the full lifecycle of a feature, from conception to release. We have heaps of interesting problems to solve around customer experience, logistics, supply chain, and scale. We’re looking for an experienced software engineer to help us take the work out of grocery shopping by building delightfully functional web and mobile experiences.
Our technology stack currently consists of React on the frontend and a mix of Node and F# in a microservices backend. Data persistence is handled by PostgreSQL and Snowflake, and messaging by RabbitMQ and Kafka. We believe in building expertise in a relatively small set of modern but mature tools. We’re a remote-first team with members throughout the US.
This position will be joining the Merch Tech team. Merch Tech is responsible for helping our merchandisers get the right products, the right prices, and the right information to our customers through solutions ranging from inventory and catalog management to personalized shopping experiences. The team is passionate about functional programming and CQRS/Event Sourcing patterns to help create immutable, self-documenting, self-auditing, quality systems to help support our dynamic business domain.
If owning the full product engineering lifecycle, sustainability, preventing food waste, and working daily with a bunch of pleasant people excites you, come join us!
About You:Together we will build products that create a better and more sustainable food system. In this role you will:
Be self-sufficient and independently successful-- We default to working asynchronously and therefore we need an engineer who is self-sufficient and independently successful
Thrive in the deep end-- We have an established microservice backend using messaging platforms and we need an engineer who is comfortable diving in and learning quickly
Be adaptable-- We work on the entire stack from customer to business operations and we need an engineer who is energized by a variety of projects, priorities, and people
