Description For Senior Software Engineer (Fullstack)

At Shef, we are building a homemade food marketplace that empowers local cooks to earn meaningful income while providing communities with authentic, home-cooked meals. Our platform connects talented cooks (including refugees, immigrants, stay-at-home parents, and restaurant chefs) with customers seeking wholesome, affordable food options.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll play a crucial role in building delightful experiences for both consumers and chefs. You'll be responsible for optimizing the shopping experience and developing micro-entrepreneurship tools that help our shefs run successful businesses. This position offers a unique opportunity to impact an exciting consumer product while working directly with the company's engineering leadership.

We've raised over $100M from prominent investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and Craft Ventures, along with backing from executives at companies like Instacart, TaskRabbit, and Airbnb. Our mission extends beyond technology - we're building a more inclusive food system and advocating for expanded home cooking laws nationwide.

The ideal candidate brings:

  • 5+ years of relevant engineering experience with React, TypeScript, and Node.js
  • Strong product mindset and desire to own features end-to-end
  • Experience working at companies from pre-seed through Series C stages
  • Ability to balance technical tradeoffs between time, cost, and quality
  • Self-motivated approach with excellent execution skills

You'll be joining a diverse team that celebrates cultural inclusivity and provides equitable opportunities for economic empowerment. We strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups in tech, including BIPOC individuals, women, and LGBTQ+ candidates.

This is a hybrid role based in the San Francisco Bay Area (local candidates only). Join us in revolutionizing how people access authentic, home-cooked food while creating economic opportunities for talented cooks in communities across the country.
