Description For Frontend Engineer

At Guac, we're solving grocery food waste with predictive ML. We predict exactly how much of each product will sell, helping grocery retailers order/produce the perfect amount of inventory.

The grocery industry is enormous (it accounts for 4% of GDP) — and grocery food waste is a huge cost to grocers' bottom lines, but also to our planet.

Today, we're working with major supermarket chains in the US (you've probably shopped at some of them before), and we've scaled to 7-figures in ARR. We're also backed by leading investors such as Y Combinator, 1984 Ventures, Collaborative Fund, and angels from Instacart and Citadel Securities.

As a Frontend Engineer at Guac, you'll have real impact and ownership over technical decisions, strategy, and product direction. You'll be building and enhancing customer-facing features using React, Next.js, and TypeScript, developing complex data-intensive interfaces, implementing robust state management, and collaborating with backend engineers on API design.

We're looking for someone with 3+ years of frontend engineering experience with React and TypeScript, strong proficiency in modern React patterns, and experience building complex, data-heavy web applications. Experience with React Native and mobile development is highly preferred.

Join our exceptional team from Palantir, BCG, Oxford, Cambridge, and MIT to solve intellectually challenging problems and tackle food insecurity & waste with technology. We offer competitive compensation ($150k-$200k base + equity), comprehensive healthcare benefits, unlimited vacation, and additional perks like covered meals and gym membership.

Our tech stack includes React, Next.js, TypeScript, and React Native on the frontend, with Python and FastAPI on the backend, all running on GCP infrastructure with Postgres, BigQuery, Terraform, and Docker.
