About Us

Hungryroot is using AI to build the most consumer-centric food and wellness company to ever exist. We act as your personal assistant for healthy living—getting to know your goals, lifestyle, and budget, and recommending and delivering healthy groceries, easy recipes, and essential supplements for you and your family.

It’s the easiest way to eat healthy, achieve your goals, save time, and discover new foods. We believe food is the foundation of health, convenience should not mean compromise, and that everyone is unique in how they eat and live. That’s why we’re building a future in which healthy living is both easy and enjoyable.

While we have a headquarters in New York City, our remote-first culture emphasizes collaboration, team-building, and flexibility. Expect regular virtual team events, strong ownership and accountability, and an annual company retreat.

About the Role

Hungryroot is looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Backend to join our growing API Engineering team.

This senior software engineer will drive the technical design, implementation, testing and maintenance of important features and integrations on the backend team. These include REST API endpoints, database schema changes, translating business logic, performance tuning, security hardening and other critical features. They rely on their own experience while performing additional research as necessary, to arrive at the best solution for each task.

They can independently execute projects, proactively raise issues and resourcefully unblock themselves. Some form of mentoring and guiding less experienced or new developers on the team is required. They can constructively debate any issue, persuade others with hard evidence while staying objective and open to changing their mind. They will be the backbone of our entire API engineering team.

  • Work closely with engineering leads on planning and execution of large, complex projects.
  • Contribute directly to important feature development and maintenance.
  • Help raise the bar on code quality and enforce engineering discipline through code review feedback, testing, technical presentations and opportunistic refactoring.
  • Participate in the interview process of other senior, mid, or junior engineering candidates and contribute to hiring decisions

Qualifications

  • 5+ yrs of commercial software development experience.
  • 3+ yrs of experience using Python and the wider ecosystem as the primary day-to-day env.
  • 3+ yrs of designing and extending RESTful APIs.
  • 3+ yrs of experience working with a web framework such as Django (preferred), Flask, Rails.
  • 2+ yrs of relational SQL experience.
  • 2+ yrs of experience troubleshooting production issues
