The posting

Afresh, the AI platform for grocery, began by tackling the most complex problem in the industry: fresh, and has evolved into the core AI platform for grocers.

By leveraging proprietary AI designed for high-volatility environments, we empower partners like Albertsons, Meijer, and Wakefern to drive smarter decisions across their entire enterprise.

Following record-breaking 70% revenue growth in 2025, we have scaled to 6 enterprise-grade solutions, with solutions live in over 10% of the U.S. grocery market. Our platform now orchestrates billions of decisions from the store floor to the distribution center and prevented over 200 million pounds of food waste last year alone.

If you're looking for a role where your work directly translates into massive scale and social good, and you want to be part of the team that defines how the world eats, there is no better time to join us.

About the Role

Join the Ordering Pod as a Senior Software Engineer to own the development of our high-revenue, flagship AI ordering product. This is a pivotal role where you will be empowered to define the architectural roadmap for our next-generation systems and tackle challenging engineering problems that directly enable our business expansion.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the design, building, and deploy highly scalable and robust APIs, making critical architectural decisions that shape our platform.
  • Partner with Product, Account Management, and peer engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions that serve client needs.
  • Contribute to the vision of the next generation Ordering product, while also support our current iPad solution.
  • Enforce best practices for testing and releases to maintain high standards of system reliability.

What makes you a great fit

  • BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
  • 4+ years of software development experience.
  • A strong desire to learn and master new technologies to meet the evolving needs of the platform.
  • Proven ability to lead and drive projects through the entire development lifecycle, from conception to launch, with a high degree of autonomy.
  • Readiness to step into a mentorship role to guide junior engineers and contribute to the team's growth.
  • Being curious about complex systems, including a desire to understand our intricate business domain and dependencies outside the team's direct ownership.
  • A strong team player who understands that we succeed (and learn) together.. In the spirit of that, you actively participate in team ceremonies, swarm with engineers and perform that doing timely and constructive code reviews.

Nice to Have

  • You have worked in with an Agile software delivery cycle before.
  • You have leveraged modern AI-powered tools to accelerate development and enhance your workflow
  • You have experience in Typescript and cloud technologies in general and Azure specifically.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
