What the job involves

  • The Product Engineering team at Afresh is responsible for building out the suite of products that our customers use every day, whether it’s an individual produce manager looking to order their store’s groceries for the day, corporate supervisors looking to view individual store performance, or everything in between. Grocers rely on these solutions within Afresh’s Fresh Operating System to improve the accuracy and efficiency of their workflows, all contributing to our goal of reducing food waste
  • You will be playing a key role in building out these solutions for our customers. Our team and products are growing at a rapid pace, which means that there will be plenty of opportunities for ownership and making your impact felt
  • Directly impact our mission of reducing fresh food waste by working on products to enable grocers to better manage and optimize fresh food merchandising and supply chain
  • Own and build new features and capabilities in our React Native mobile application that will have a massive impact on our business
  • Architect and scale our React Native mobile application from a small handful of users up to our entire customer base
  • Work flexibly on our API to develop new interfaces and drive business logic from our backend in collaboration with our backend, data, and ML engineering functions
  • Build tools and foundations, such as design systems, to empower multiple teams of engineers and designers to build and iterate on our React Native mobile application
  • Partner with our product and design teams to deliver rich and engaging user experiences
  • Mentor and coach engineers of a variety of levels of experience

Our take

Antiquated inventory management systems are detrimental to grocers money and time. Generalized and paper-based systems result in the over-purchase of stock, and this results in waste of fresh food and financial budgets.

Afresh has created an operating system designed specifically to manage inventory and sales of fresh food. The system is powered by AI to help provide forecasting and analysis of inventories, helping grocers stock more economically and thus waste less fresh food.

The company has grown rapidly in recent years, and they have now partnered with over 3,000 stores in 40 states across the US. Clients include Albertsons, WinCo Foods, Heinen's, Save Mart, Bashas, and Cub Foods.
