Salesforce Engineer w/JavaScript experience - Menu & Location

Los Angeles, California - Engineering Team

In office 4 Days per week

Reports to: Engineering Manager

The MeLo team

We are a team. Not a group of individuals. We are passionate about solving complex technical problems and take pride in the success of our products. There are no unicorns. Success depends on everyone working together to ship great features backed by maintaining frameworks for ongoing manual and automated testing. We are in this together.

At sweetgreen, we seek a passionate software engineer to join the menu and location team(MeLo). In this role, you will help evolve the menu and location domain of 200+ physical locations and over 1000 outposts while supporting 3000+ team members.

We value, encourage, and support diversity in backgrounds and opinions. We are human, fallible, and lifelong learners—we make mistakes from which we learn and grow. We partner with product, design, data, IT, operations, and business stakeholders to long-term own the solutions we build to improve the lives of our customers.

Your Impact

• Self-starter: This role is for a motivated individual looking to own and help drive all parts of the codebase they touch. While the focus is on Salesforce, the scope of this role will extend beyond that system. This is the place to be if you seize problems to resolve and contribute to the teams and organizations you are part of.
• Teamwork: Together, we will automate and streamline how MeLo data is propagated through the organization. Audit tools that ensure data integrity, along with apps and services that support team members internally and in the field, will be the order of the day.
• Adapt: Change is a constant here, and with it comes new challenges. You will not be alone when facing them, but you will be expected to do your part. Fulfilling this role will mean thinking on your feet.
• Your Growth: A clear progression path and regular 1:1’s will guide you along your desired career goals.
• Mindset: We continue to expand our footprint. Your solutions will contribute to taking the long view of managing not simply the 200 we have today but 500 or more tomorrow. We will develop with the future in mind.
• End-to-End: Review the existing system design and documentation to develop a deep understanding of the order lifecycle, with an eye toward quality and accessibility for all users.
• Log: Within Confluence, contribute to the documentation of various domain products. This will ensure the teams' tools we build are accessible and well-understood.
• Ownership: As issues and work arise, team members look to own the solution. They do not wait for someone else to do something. Things are looked into, tickets are created, and leadership is exercised within an individual's sphere of influence.

Qualifications and Experience

• General knowledge of the fast-casual restaurant industry and SAAS vendors in the industry (OLO, Brink)

Our Tech Stack

Our systems are built using various frameworks, but the most established are React Native, GraphQL, Nest.js, and Typescript. We rely on Datadog for observability. We try not to over-index on the latest tech and instead focus on the tools that allow for the greatest development experience, quality of work, and productivity.
