Full Stack Software Engineer

✨ Cherrypick is helping the world eat better effortlessly ✨

Cherrypick is an AI-led meal-planning and grocery shopping platform. We help busy families get their meals and shopping sorted fast. Our mission is to help our customers eat better effortlessly. That means better for their health, their budget and even the planet. We guide users to make better food choices thoughtful UX and proprietary AI models. We’ve had over 400K households sign up, and our latest net promoter score is +73.

We’re looking for a full stack software engineer who

• has professional experience using Ruby on Rails to build APIs for web and mobile apps
• can work in Golang on our platform layer (or is keen to learn)
• can help out on our Flutter app (or is keen to learn)

You’ll get plenty of support to learn any technology you’re unfamiliar with.

Despite the large number of customers, we’re a small impactful core team which means everyone gets involved from idea to app store approval. You’ll get to work directly with the Founders and be able to input on areas outside of tech and product.

We are an experiment-led culture: we aim to ship at least an experiment a week. We have 5-10 experiments running at any one time. When we get it right we ship experiments within a day or two of thinking of them. You'll be quickly trying solutions to customer problems, measuring impact, and iterating fast. You'll be building stability and reliability into the core features we decide to keep.

We pack a lot into our days to protect our evenings and weekends. It’s an important part of our culture to switch off and spend time with our families!

What your day-to-day will include:

• Collaborating with the founders on what’s best to build for customers
• Trying features and iterating quickly based on direct customer feedback
• Learning how to build a robust profitable business alongside a great product
• Talking to customers about their needs and challenges and figuring out solutions
• Learning new technology and making a difference across the whole stack
• Solving product and tech challenges that haven’t been solved before
• Helping to shape our development process and company culture

🎉 We'd love to hear from you if you...

• Have experience within an impactful, fast-moving software development team
• Have the courage to ship fast
• Thrive in a startup or startup-like environment
• Enjoy interacting directly with customers and solving real customer problems
• Can make things happen even when things are unclear
• Can calmly handle competing priorities
• Want to rapidly build prototypes and get customer feedback in hours or days, not weeks
• Are keen to learn from others, improve your practice and push yourself towards greatness
• Have impactful experience in a scaling startup environment and/or at a major tech brand (not required but would be a bonus)

This is not a checklist where every box needs to be ticked. Please apply if you feel you could make an impact and thrive at Cherrypick.
