The role

As a full stack engineer at Hotplate, you\'ll build end-to-end features that will directly impact how thousands of chefs\' and bakers\' businesses run their businesses. You\'ll work across a range from building scalable systems and infrastructure to handle ticketmaster-style food drops, to chef-facing features that help manage and grow their business, and consumer-facing storefront and buying experiences that delight.

This role is best suited for someone who likes to participate in the full process of building features, from ideation and design to executing features independently.

Responsibilities
  • Build end-to-end features across the stack to support chefs\' and bakers\' businesses
  • Design and implement scalable systems and infrastructure to handle high-volume flows

  • Participate in the full feature lifecycle, from ideation and design to independent execution

  • A high bar for delivering clean, intuitive UX experiences
  • A love for designing products and features from scratch
  • Experience in early to mid-stage startups, with a track record taking projects from 0 to 1 independently
  • Comfort with our stack: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node, Express, PostgreSQL, AWS
  • 3+ years of product-focused, full-stack engineering
Our Philosophy of Engineering

Hotplate\'s engineering team is small, and as we scale we want to keep it that way. Every engineer operates in a full stack capacity. Features are owned by individuals, so even though we all have our strengths, each of us pushes code to all layers of the app. We find this increases our velocity, results in better decision-making before and during feature development, and is a forcing function for us to grow as full stack contributors.

Our Team

We are a lean, mission-driven team. We exist to enable the next million chefs and bakers to scale local food businesses outside the brick & mortar model. We operate with high ownership, Laser focus on the impact we have for our chefs and bakers, and commitment to take on projects that push us out of our comfort zones.

We're a tight-knit crew. We jam with a daily shared playlist, often hang for team lunch and happy hours, and always have snacks on the table (made by the team or a Hotplate Chef). We love working in a place where we all have a connection, and think it helps us work better as a team.
