Isn’t food awesome? Chicken teriyaki, jacket potato and beans ” with or without cheese? East or South Asian curry ” vegan, veggie or meaty? Fish and chips.
It’s all good stuff. But did you know – 40% of all food grown, never gets eaten by a human? Mental.
We could feed a few folks with that, I reckon. The more you look into it, the more you realise that food waste is a massive problem. It emits methane too! Bugger.
Thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom.
Over 81% of us would be happy to accept food from a neighbour or someone in their community. There’s a company getting more people ” and businesses too! to do exactly that.
They’re working with businesses and suppliers across the food and beverage supply chain, around the world, to operate more sustainably and divert unsold or unwanted food into the bellies of the folks that need and want it.
They’ve grown organically over the last 8 years, and have over 6 million users with 65,000 volunteers. That’s 6 million people doing their bit to remove food waste from the equation, and they can do it all with a few clicks, taps and snaps!
They’ve got big plans, new features and integrations in the works that’ll make it easier for users to share and collect, right now the tech team sits around 25 people, across dev and test.
In 6 months or so that’ll grow to about 32. That’s where you come in!
They’re a friendly bunch and as you can imagine everyone in the team is passionate about sustainability. If you’re someone that really cares about this stuff, you’ll be right at home, literally ” they’re a remote-first company.
If you’ve been a dev for ~4 years and maybe one or two of that have been with Ruby on Rails, boom! If you enjoy peer programming and are comfortable with testing using tools like Rspec or Capybara and want to solve tricky problems, sweet!
They use things like AWS with S3, ECR, ELB, and Cloudwatch and also use Docker, Travis CI for their CICD, lots of google maps integration and Redis, among other things. Any experience with those or similar tools will help. Most importantly, they’ll want to hear where you see yourself in the bigger picture of climate action.
If you fancy building something that could change behaviours around food waste for good, helping millions of people along the way, well. You know what to do.
