Job details

What is the most impactful thing one can do with our two most precious resource - talent and time. For us, it does not get bigger than the Global Food System . By applying first principle approach, we understood that the Foodservice Industry - folks who prepare food outside of the home - is the key to unlocking the food system we want. Since raising seed funding from Tier 1 venture investors , including those that put first monies into Revolut, Transferwise and Just Eat, we’ve reached profitability with a 10x growth in our customer base. Thousands of chefs, operators and owners across 500 food businesses rely on us every single day. This is your opportunity to join our tight-knit team at this most impactful stage, where your impact will be magnified and your ambitions scaled globally. The Company Today, from Michelin-starred restaurants to your neighbourhood cafes, pen & paper and spreadsheets still rules over core operations - from costing menus, checking inventory to managing supplies. These operations are hidden from consumers’ eyes in what’s known as the Back-of-House, the beating heart of any food businesses. While the Front-of-house - think point of sale, bookings, and food delivery - has attracted billions in investment, it fails to cope with core operations in the back. That’s where Jelly begins. We are building a new system from the ground up for the Back-of-House - to change everything. The Role We’re looking for a senior-level Founding Backend Engineer to tackle complex data challenges never before identified - challenges that are foundational to our vision of a new food system. These arise from a fragmented, complex industry handling billions of daily transactions without standardisation of data. You’ll harness cutting-edge technologies - from computer vision to LLMs, or any other novel approach you devise - to deliver transformative solutions. You’ll have autonomy and influence in shaping a product for one of the world’s largest industries, working with a small, tight-knit, and highly supportive team. Strong communication skills are essential, as you’ll have visibility across all parts of the business. While your primary focus is backend, we value flexibility in bug-fixing and building simple React components when needed. Hard requirements Proficient in TypeScript and NodeJS. Can build and maintain AWS solutions with services including ECS, Lambda and RDS. Strong understanding of GraphQL and performance optimisation. Expertise with relational databases, including performance analysis and optimisation. Ability to create simple React components and fix UI bugs. Interest in AI technologies and some experience (including side projects) working with AI APIs. Desirable requirements Experience with PostgreSQL, triggers and stored procedures. Experience with strictly typed languages such as GoLang. Experience with NoSQL and big data. Experience with Nexus GraphQL. Experience implementing AI APIs in an ETL pipeline or similar. Compensation Salary £70-90k, sponsor license available. Significant equity options reflecting the importance of this role, more than you would find elsewhere. 33 days of paid leave per year (25 holidays 8 bank holidays). Perks Flexible: we prioritise in-office work for fostering collaboration, with most of our team in our Bank office 3 days a week, balanced with the freedom to work from home as needed. Dedicated one-to-one coaching sessions. Fortnightly social dinners at our customer restaurants. Interview Process Stage 1: Phone call with CEO (15min) Stage 2: Take-home test (approx. 2 hours). Demonstrate your technical skills with a relevant real-world scenario Stage 3: Technical interview (2 hours). Collaborate with our team to review your take-home test and discuss solutions Stage 4: Leadership interview (1 hour) More detail https://www.notion.so/getjelly/Senior-Backend-Jelly-160bfb49937880e08a8ac0f44bbe1171
