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 get to stretch across a range of work like building scalable systems & infrastructure to handle ticketmaster-style food drops, Chef-facing features that will provide powerful ways to 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 supporting on ideation and design to executing features independently.

What you will need to be successful

Extremely comfortable working full stack
A high bar for delivering clean, intuitive, UX experiences
A love for designing products and features from scratch
Have worked in early to mid-stage startups before, with experience taking projects from 0 to 1 independently
Comfortable 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.

About the company

Hotplate is transforming the food industry by empowering chefs to start and run their own businesses online. The traditional food business model is broken, expensive, and low-margin. During the pandemic, many chefs found a more profitable way to sell food through Instagram via preorder and pickup. However, there was no platform to support this unique sales model—until Hotplate.

We provide chefs with tailor-built websites to drop and sell food via preorder, streamlining storefront and backend operations. With Hotplate, chefs can manage thousands of orders and customers, helping some achieve monthly sales of over $100k entirely on their own.

If you're passionate about improving the diversity and accessibility of food and eager to disrupt an industry that has remained mostly unchanged for years, we would love to have you at Hotplate.
