Backend Engineer
A UNIQUE CAREER OPPORTUNITY
We are building a platform that creates value for both grocery shoppers and grocery retailers.
Shoppers can shop faster, easier and more personalised than ever before. Retailers add value to their platform increasing conversion and consumer loyalty.
What?
Doing grocery shopping is time consuming. Figuring out what to eat, searching and picking each product is mentally taxing.
This is changing right now.
How?
We are building a platform that;
Enables grocery shopping by voice so you can say
– Add a spaghetti bolognese to my cart.
Makes smart fridges smart so they can tell you what to have for dinner
– You can cook a tomato soup with what you currently have at home
And we are doing this by getting a deep understanding of something as easy as Recipes and their relationships between products, personal preferences and retailers stock keeping through hard work, and a mix of technologies spanning from PHP to NLP.
