What the job involves
- At Picnic, we use React Native to provide an innovative service to our customers through our mobile app. Quality is our top priority, so we use TypeScript in our server-driven UI framework as well as our frontend code
- In this role, in addition to working with React Native daily you'll be working with our powerful server-driven UI framework that's at the heart of our business's success:
- Powers our entire shopping app and enables rapid iterations
- Drives sophisticated personalization at scale, delivering tailored content to each user
- Empowers our business teams to operate the store autonomously - dozens of operators and analysts make every day real-time updates without any further tech involvement
- You can expect to work with a wide range of technologies within the JavaScript ecosystem, across the full stack!
- Work on our customer facing Picnic store, implementing new features on a daily basis
- Contribute to our React Native architecture and server-driven UI framework, with a focus on developer experience, performance optimization, and establishing best practices for scalable development
- Collaborate with designers and product owners to create specifications for new features
- Build out our backend-driven UI framework (developed in React Native) and transition existing functionalities from native to React Native whenever possible
- Leverage your communication skills in a cross-functional team, including to mentor our amazing team of mobile engineers
Our take
Picnic is one of Europe's largest online supermarkets, quickly growing into a household name with its simple, yet innovative app and green business model. Thanks to its ‘own the supply chain’ model and daily delivery routes (as opposed to on-demand delivery), the company is able to run a low-cost business targeted at the mass market, rather than premium buyers.
One of the major factors in the company’s rampant growth since 2015 is its capacity for free delivery, enabled by these daily delivery routes. The company's fleet has grown from 4 vans to more than 1,000 electric vehicles, cutting down on carbon emissions as it serves its hundreds of thousands of users.
The company's impressive funding - which has been heavily backed by the likes of The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the sum of 1.4 billion euros in funding - has enabled Picnic to expand beyond The Netherlands into Germany, France, and further afield. Picnic is well set to see continued growth and expansion as it further disrupts the grocery delivery market.
