We're looking for a Staff Backend Engineer to join our Ingredient to Product tribe at HelloFresh. This is a high-impact individual contributor role sitting at the intersection of Food Systems and Backend Engineering — you'll be the technical bridge that identifies business and technical gaps and works with business leads to turn requirements into scalable production systems and solutions.
You'll work across squads within the Food Systems alliance, partnering closely with Backend Engineers to ensure E2E menu operational efficiencies are met, raise the technical bar, and accelerate the tribe's ability to deliver value to our customers.
At HelloFresh we are moving away from a model where software developers just execute tickets toward one where product engineers are trusted to own customer problems. A Product Engineer takes a problem, forms a point of view, validates it with customers and data, and ships it using AI as a force multiplier.
Strong fluency in Python (Golang is a plus) and hands on experience building distributed systems in production: event-driven and asynchronous flows, clear service contracts, and designing for partial failure. You operate what you build, including its observability and data layer.
You take full ownership. You have a bias to ship. You finish the last twenty percent.
At HelloFresh, we know that flexible work arrangements are essential in enabling you to do your best work, while balancing your personal and life needs. Offering remote work flexibility, along with the opportunity to interact and collaborate in the office are all a part of creating a great employee experience.
To meet these needs, we are pleased to provide Flexible Hybrid work. Flexible Hybrid is a people-first approach that is based on choice, trust, personalization, and empowers teams to choose when and how often they work from the office and work from home, in addition to team days and company days. This means a minimum of 2 days in office per week, with most teams in office between 2-3 days a week.
