About the role

We're looking for Software Engineers to help build and scale the systems that power Picnic's delivery logistics platform.

Engineers at Picnic work closely with product, operations, and design teams to solve real-world operational problems through software. Depending on project needs and individual strengths, engineers may work on backend services, internal operations tools, or customer-facing applications.

  • Own projects from technical design through implementation, testing, launch, and iteration
  • Work closely with Product, Design, Operations (in the same office!), and Couriers to translate operational challenges into effective technical solutions
  • Improve system reliability, performance, and observability through monitoring, testing, and thoughtful engineering practices
  • Participate in code reviews and contribute to maintaining a high bar for engineering quality


What we're looking for
  • 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Experience building and shipping production software systems
  • Strong programming skills and familiarity with modern development technologies (e.g., React, TypeScript, Ruby, Python, Go, PostgreSQL)
  • Ability to take ownership of projects and drive them to completion with high quality
  • Strong problem-solving skills and comfort working in ambiguous or evolving environments
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills when working across engineering and cross-functional teams
  • A strong engineering mindset focused on building reliable, maintainable systems

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience building or operating logistics, delivery, or real-time systems at scale
  • Background in fast-growing, high-execution technology companies
  • Track record of improving developer productivity through tooling, patterns, or process improvements


Why join us
  • Drive real impact: Be part of building the operational engine behind a fast-growing startup that's redefining how work gets done.
  • Own your city: Take full ownership of your city's performance and see the direct results of your ideas and execution every single day.
  • Work with purpose: Join a mission-driven team focused on making the workplace experience better for thousands of people.
  • Grow with us: At Picnic, there's room to grow-personally and professionally-as we scale and take on new challenges together.
