S'more about the team

We are a close-knit group of engineers of different stripes - developers, testers, and product owners - who are working together to solve interesting e-commerce and supply chain problems around how people eat. Sometimes, this involves executing experiments to improve the user journey and making it easier for our customers to buy amazing food. Sometimes, this means creating stable software solutions that keep our distribution centers running.

As a Senior Staff Engineer, you will be responsible for the design and development of world-class software as well as sharing engineering best practices throughout the organisation. You will work with business leaders across the various tribes to define our business and architecture vision.
