Afresh is on a mission to eliminate food waste and make fresh food accessible to all. Our first A.I.-powered solution optimizes ordering, forecasting, and store operations for fresh food departments in brick-and-mortar grocers. With our Fresh Operating System, regional and national grocery retailers have placed $1.6 billion in produce orders across the US and we've helped our partners prevent 34 million pounds of food from going to waste. Working at Afresh represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to have massive social impact at scale by leveraging uncommonly impactful software – we hope you'll join us!

  • Regularly interface with engineering teams to share information across the department, provide guidance and support, and get buy-in for our team’s recommendations
  • Stay in tune with developer pain points and proactively lead projects to eliminate them
  • “Level up” our engineers through inspiration and mentorship, facilitating a department-wide culture of constructive feedback
  • Become a visible technical leader and best practices guru for the entire department

Skills and experience

  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • BS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
  • Firm grasp of Python (Node would be a bonus)
  • Driven to continuously learn, quick to pick up new technologies and ideas
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both written and oral
  • Able to understand business requirements and translate them into technical requirements
  • Strong desire to maximize developer productivity and experience, including demonstrable positive impact on developer experience in a recent role
  • Proven record of technical leadership and mentorship
  • Pride in "being glue” and doing work behind the scenes to keep the team moving forward
  • Respectfully opinionated and open-minded — can win others over to their way of thinking and be won over by sound arguments
  • Familiar with building reference implementations that support "paved roads” for engineers
  • Experience building and fostering adoption of observability tools
  • Experience setting up consistent dev environments
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and creating reproducible builds from development to production
