Sprig - San Francisco, CA
Senior Mobile (iOS) Engineer
Sprig aims to bring personal chef-style service to the people. As soon as you're hungry, you can order a locally-sourced, well-balanced, awesome dinner directly from your smartphone. Meals cost between $10-15 and are delivered to your door in about 20 minutes. We're well-funded and driving towards an SF launch in late October.
To that end, we’re looking for a senior engineer to help us build an amazing experience for Sprig customers. You’ll be the first engineering hire outside of the co-founders, so this is a great opportunity to help define our engineering culture and product focus.
Right away you’ll be working on:
- Our customer facing iPhone app (aka our "front of the house")
- Mobile apps for our servers, helping them efficiently whisk meals from kitchen to table
- Our delivery dispatch algorithm, the key to getting food in people's hands as fast as possible
In the future you might be working on:
- Making our app ordering experience even better
- Simulating delivery routing optimizations so we can tune our dispatch
- Scaling the backend to launch new cities
Our stack includes:
- iOS, Rails, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Heroku, AWS
You should have:
- Significant iOS experience, having shipped at least one app
- Some Rails or other backend experience
- Previous startup experience
- Passion for food! You’re joining our engineering team, but we are first and foremost a food company
- A sense of humor, and/or a mild love of accidental food startup puns (too many cooks in the kitchen, let the idea simmer, put it on the back burner...list goes on)
