Job description

We are the #1 online - and the only nationwide - marketplace for business catering in the United States – a $22 billion market. We’re backed by Insight Venture Partners and Iconiq Capital, we’re on a path to $1B in 2019, and we’ll get there - even more surely if you come help us.

You’d lead a half-dozen-ish of our very bright and insanely helpful engineers as they deliver great code, and grow professionally and personally. You’ll do hands-on work, too, because we all do.

What you’ll do:

• Build industry leading web applications in Ruby on Rails, React, and GraphQL
  
• Lead and mentor a talented team of engineers to execute on projects, delight customers, and propel the business even higher into the stratosphere
  
• Collaborate with equally as talented peers, helping to scale our organization 2-3x, again and again
  
• Improve team/process performance at every chance you get (we believe speed itself is a feature)
  
• Evolve the user experience based on A / B test results and statistics.
  
• Tackle exciting scaling challenges

You have:

• Implemented (and thought a lot about) powerful teams, lean processes, and continuous releases.
• Extensive full-stack web development experience. We hope you acquired that in an e-commerce and/or marketplace setting.
  
• Strong working knowledge of modern server-side and client-side frameworks. Ruby, Rails, and React would be a huge plus.

• Excellent knowledge of SQL and relational databases. Postgres? Even better.

• A good balance between ‘Move fast and break things’ and ‘Be reliable’. We summarize that as ‘Aim high. Be grounded’.
  
• A sharp mind, a soft heart and a large funny bone.
  
• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science – or the real-world equivalent.
