Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer in San Francisco, California at Shef

At Shef, we’re building a homemade food marketplace. We believe in providing the shefs in our community (refugees, immigrants, stay-at-home parents, retirees, and out-of-work restaurant chefs) the opportunity to make a meaningful income by doing what they love. We also believe that everyone should have access to a wholesome, home-cooked meal at an affordable price.

We’re building a community devoted to economic empowerment and cultural inclusivity — that’s why we started Shef. We have raised over $100m from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, Craft Ventures, and M13, as well as founders and executives from Instacart, TaskRabbit, StubHub, AngelList, Lyft, Airbnb, and Yelp.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll lead the development of delightful, high-impact experiences for both consumers and Shefs across the country. You’ll help optimize the shopping experience for customers, and you’ll build micro-entrepreneurship tools that enable Shefs to run and grow their own businesses.

If we succeed, we’ll fundamentally change how people purchase food — expanding access to healthy, affordable, authentic meals while empowering thousands of entrepreneurs.

This role reports directly to the company’s engineering leader. This is a hybrid position located in the San Francisco Bay Area (local candidates only).
