About Choco
Choco provides a centralized platform connecting restaurants and suppliers. The result is better communication, simplified logistics, and - here comes the big one - less food waste. Our aim is to contribute to a transparent, sustainable and waste-free global food chain by 2030.
With technology at the core of our work, our engineers are driven by quality. Our chat-based ordering app has already changed the game for thousands of restaurants and suppliers across the globe, but there is much more work to be done. And that’s where we need your help. If you’re looking to be at the intersection of purpose and innovation, we’d love to hear from you.
Position
Meet your team
Our software backend engineers are working in cross-functional autonomous teams together with QA, Android, iOS, frontend and other backend engineers. This team is coached by an engineering manager who works in a triangle with product design and product management. There are 2 or 3 feature teams in every product team and in every product team we need at least one lead backend engineer.
