Job Description
About Us
Hungryroot is using AI to build the most consumer-centric food and wellness company to ever exist. We act as your personal assistant for healthy living—getting to know your goals, lifestyle, and budget, and recommending and delivering healthy groceries, easy recipes, and essential supplements for you and your family.
It’s the easiest way to eat healthy, achieve your goals, save time, and discover new foods. We believe food is the foundation of health, convenience should not mean compromise, and that everyone is unique in how they eat and live. That’s why we’re building a future in which healthy living is both easy and enjoyable.
Hungryroot is a distributed team of top talent across 28+ U.S. states. While we have a headquarters in New York City, our remote-first culture emphasizes collaboration, team-building, and flexibility. Expect regular virtual team events, strong ownership and accountability, and an annual company retreat.
About the Role
We are looking for a Deployed Software Engineer to join our Engineering team. You will work directly with internal stakeholders, building an agentic workforce to automate workflows to drive productivity, quality, and the effectiveness of our human workforce. Problems that are too ambiguous for a product spec, too urgent for a roadmap, and too important to ignore. Your job is to find them, frame them, and solve them.
The impact is immediate and visible. The agents and tools you build, the processes you fix, the systems you connect. People will use them every day. You won’t be three layers removed from the outcome. You’ll see it.
If you’re looking for high-impact work where your decisions directly shape how a business operates—and you want to help us change how people grocery shop and eat for the better—we encourage you to apply.
