We're equally excited to meet exceptional engineers from Go, Java, Kotlin, or similar ecosystems who are motivated to work in TypeScript. ## Description * Improve developer experience through reusable tooling, frameworks, APIs, and automation. * Operate and continuously improve distributed production systems with reliability, observability, and maintainability in mind. * Partner closely with Product Engineering teams to solve complex technical problems and remove platform bottlenecks. * Drive technical initiatives from architecture through implementation, rollout, and operational adoption. * Make pragmatic engineering decisions that balance long-term quality with business priorities. * Help prepare Choco's platform for the next stage of enterprise-scale growth., * Work on digitalizing core operating systems for food distributors, automating orders, sales and payments in a system that still largely runs on calls and spreadsheets. * Work with an AI product with proven product-market fit, already embedded in distributor workflows and directly affecting order accuracy, speed, and margins. * Join a global team across 6 countries and 40+ nationalities, building a company that has raised $300M+ and reached unicorn status (~$1.2B valuation) with the ambition to define this category end-to-end. * In return, you get real ownership, equity, and the support to do your best work, including competitive compensation, health and wellbeing support, and long-term benefits like a sabbatical (all localized by office). * Collaborate with people who want to own outcomes in a messy, real-world system and make it work at scale. If you want to work on real problems, take ownership, and raise the bar, we should talk. Choco is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.
