Roots Natural Kitchen

Senior Software Engineer

In this role, you will take charge of the technology that makes our food so easy to access. Roots Natural Kitchen has opened five successful locations in under four years, and plans to open four additional units in 2020. As Roots first in-house engineer, you will be absolutely critical to the company’s growth.

We will value your enthusiasm for learning about our company, our industry, and our technology, so that you can speak to opportunities and challenges at the intersection of food, technology, and e-commerce. 

We understand the importance of setting expectations for this role, and sticking to them.  To be clear, we’re making some big dreams come true, so there are exciting engineering challenges ahead.  We want to set you up to succeed by clearly defining them, and then giving you the space to take them on.

We’ll also value your love carrying out the full development lifecycle, from planning to programming, testing, and deploying. After getting the lay of the land, you will make enhancements to our existing technology and oversee critical platform maintenance.  Eventually, you will help to create a technology roadmap.  When the company grows, you will have a say in how your role evolves.

Our products leverage Ruby on Rails, Firebase, React Native and Objective C. We would love for you to have experience with these technologies, but above all, we value aptitude and enthusiasm for learning and implementing new skills.
