Engineering Talent Pool – Future Opportunities for Full-Stack Engineers (All Levels)

Location: Remote

Contact: devteam@flashfood.com

Who we are:

Flashfood is a marketplace app that connects grocery retailers with shoppers. Grocers post items nearing their best-before dates, like fresh produce, meat, and bakery goods, at discounted prices, helping them recover costs and attract new shoppers. Shoppers get great deals on quality groceries, making it easier to eat well affordably. By keeping good food out of landfills and on dinner tables, Flashfood helps both retailers and consumers save money while reducing food waste.

How it works:

  1. Download the Flashfood app and create an account
  2. Browse grocery deals at nearby stores
  3. Add items to your cart and purchase within the app
  4. Pick up your items from the Flashfood Zone at your local partner store

Our Engineering Team: a lean, no-fluff, all-A-player product engineering team tackling food waste at scale. Our platform connects grocery stores with shoppers to sell food nearing its best-before date at a discount—helping people save money and keeping good food out of landfills.

While we don’t have an immediate opening,we’re always excited to meet engineers across the experience spectrum—junior, senior, or lead—who care deeply about their craft and want to build meaningful, high-impact products.

What You’ll Work On

If and when the timing is right, you’d join a team working on the core Flashfood experience:

  • Our shopper mobile app

  • Tools for grocery store staff

  • Retailer dashboards

  • Backend systems powering everything from real-time inventory sync and pricing logic to barcode validation and localization

We’re not just building features—we’re creating infrastructure for food sustainability and retail transformation.

What We Value

You probably haven’t worked on a team quite like this. Here’s what we care about and practice every day:

  • Craftsmanship

  • Problem-solving

  • Creating real value—fast

  • 80/20 thinking and execution

  • Making a meaningful impact on food waste, affordability, and sustainability

  • The ITYs: Intelligibility, Testability, Debuggability, Understandability, Maintainability, Observability, Modularity, Upgradeability

  • Writing code for the next dev who reads it

  • Substance over flash

  • Leveraging AI without outsourcing thinking

  • No hype. No fads. No distractions.

  • With great power comes great responsibility

Let’s Stay in Touch

This is a general talent pool post — not tied to an immediate opening. But if this sounds like you, we probably wanted to talk yesterday.

Reach out and say hello — send us anything that helps us get to know you (resume, GitHub, thoughts, whatever).
