Senior Backend Developer

Do you want to become part of an entrepreneurial team with motivated and extremely driven people? Do you share our ambition to fight food waste and optimize professional kitchens through technology and innovation? If so, you might be FoodOp’s new backend developer.

About us

FoodOp was founded in 2020 with a mission to reduce food waste in commercial kitchens. It quickly turned out that food waste is a symptom of an analogue eco-system with great potential to improve the environmental footprint, productivity, and the quality of food servings.

We help commercial kitchens reach their potential with a digital solution that automatically measures consumption and food waste, and subsequently use these insights to optimize future menus in terms of quantities, guest preferences and the environmental footprint.

As we say: it becomes much easier to run a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable kitchen with data-enriched menu engineering.

What we offer

We offer hands-on experience building and scaling a SaaS platform. As part of a fast-growing start-up, you will enjoy a wide variety of responsibilities and get a high level of autonomy and project ownership.
