Sprig - San Francisco, CA
Senior Mobile Engineer
At Sprig, we're bringing delight back to your dinners. We feature a daily rotating menu of three seasonal, sustainable, healthy, and delicious meals designed and crafted by executive chef Nate Keller. With a few taps, our Sprig servers will brave rain and fog to whisk your order over faster than you can say dinner on demand.
To that end, we’re looking for a senior engineer to help us build an amazing experience for Sprig customers. You’ll be the first engineering hire outside of the co-founders, so this is a great opportunity to help define our engineering culture and product focus. We're well-funded and just launched in SF.
Right away you’ll be working on:
- Our customer-facing mobile apps (aka our "front of the house")
- Mobile apps for our servers, helping them efficiently whisk meals from kitchen to table
- Our delivery dispatch algorithm, the key to getting food in people's hands as fast as possible
In the future you might be working on:
- Bringing our app ordering experience to as many customers as possible
- Simulating delivery routing optimizations so we can tune our dispatch
- Scaling the backend to launch new cities
Our stack includes:
- iOS, Rails, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Heroku, AWS
You should have:
- Significant iOS or Android experience, having shipped at least one app
- Some Rails or other backend experience
- Previous startup experience
- Passion for food! You’re joining our engineering team, but we are first and foremost a food company
- A sense of humor, and/or a mild love of accidental food startup puns (too many cooks in the kitchen, let the idea simmer, put it on the back burner...list goes on)
