At Too Good To Go, we have an ambitious goal: to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together.

40% of all food produced in the world is wasted. And that has a huge impact on the health of our planet, with 10% of greenhouse gas emissions coming from food waste.

We’re more than an app: we are a certified B Corporation with a mission to empower everyone to take action against food waste, so alongside our marketplace app, we create educational tools, explore new business solutions - such as our Retail Technologies offering, and influence legislation to help reduce food waste.

We’re growing fast: Our community of 103 million registered users and 237,000 active partners across 19 countries, have together already prevented 373+ million meals from going to waste - avoiding over 1009.000 tonnes of CO2e!

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer - Backend, to be a part of our Tech Consumer Checkout-Collection Team. We are a cross-functional team responsible for one of the core functionalities of the app - the orders and payments system. As a Team Member in the Consumer Checkout-Collection Team, you will work towards specific outcomes with the freedom and responsibility to figure out the best way to achieve them together with the other Engineers on the team. You will be involved in all parts of the process when refining, designing, implementing, delivering and maintaining product features.

You will build and maintain various integrations with payment providers and enhance the monitoring tools for a better performance monitoring. You will also add more functionality to the system and help improve the general flow. The core system is highly concurrent, heavily relying on message queues, locking and eventual consistency.

We expect you will develop, build and deliver top-class functionality, ensuring quality, maintainability, and sustainability. Supported by other experienced colleagues who will guide, train and encourage you to push limits, and improve. We want to be proud of our work and focus more on quality than deadlines.
