Senior Full Stack Developer

Company Overview / About Us:

We are a profitable, UK-based technology-first food business redefining large-scale healthy meal production through automation, data, and systems-led thinking. In just 11 months of trading, we reached $2M ARR while remaining fully profitable and without venture capital funding.

Our trajectory is ambitious and grounded in execution: growing to $7M ARR by the end of 2026 with 20% EBITDA profitability. We are now entering a critical scale phase, building a proprietary operating platform that will power high-volume production, inventory automation, and multi-brand expansion.

This is a rare opportunity to join early, contribute meaningfully, and help shape the technical backbone of one of Europe’s fastest-growing startups.

Job Summary / Role Overview:

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Developer to join as a founding-level engineer. This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives in fast-paced startup environments and wants to build real-world, production-critical systems from the ground up.

You will be employee #11 and engineer #3, working closely with the Founder, operational leadership, and an onshore senior developer to architect and scale the company’s core proprietary platform.

The role begins as remote (offshore) with a clearly defined pathway to full relocation to the UK within 12–24 months for strong performers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and scale the company’s proprietary ordering and operations platform
• Develop end-to-end full-stack solutions across customer-facing and internal systems
• Build frontend experiences including ordering flows, dashboards, and loyalty systems
• Architect backend services covering APIs, automation, payments, logistics, and data flows
• Own system performance, security, reliability, and scalability in live production environments
• Implement real-time inventory tracking and batch-level production systems
• Build supplier ordering and purchasing workflows
• Collaborate closely with operations, marketing, and leadership teams
• Architect systems designed to scale to tens of thousands of users
• Take ownership of core systems rather than operating as a feature-only contributor

Required Qualifications / What We’re Looking For:

• 6–8+ years of professional full-stack development experience
• Demonstrable experience building and maintaining production systems used by real customers
• Strong system design fundamentals and experience building platforms from scratch
• Proven ability to design scalable APIs, databases, and frontend flows
• High standards for performance, security, reliability, and maintainability
• Ability to work independently with minimal hand-holding
• Comfortable operating in high-pressure, high-responsibility environments
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills

Preferred Skills / Nice to Have:

• Experience in logistics, ordering, payments, or operations-heavy platforms
• Background in early-stage or founder-led startups
• Experience with automation, workflow systems, or internal tooling
• Familiarity with transactional data models, queues, and integrations
• Interest in robotics, automation, or applied AI
• Experience owning greenfield platforms or major system migrations

Technology Stack & Architecture:

You will work hands-on with a modern, production-grade stack designed for scale and reliability:

• Next.js (React) for customer ordering, loyalty, dashboards, and internal tools
• Node.js + TypeScript (NestJS) for structured, modular backend services
• PostgreSQL as the source of truth for inventory, loyalty ledgers, supplier orders, and audit logs
• Supabase (Auth / Storage / Postgres) as the managed backend foundation
• Redis + BullMQ (or equivalent) for background jobs, reordering logic, reconciliation, and supplier sync
• Event and outbox patterns for reliable inventory and loyalty transactions
• REST APIs and modern authentication systems
• Cloud deployment using Vercel, AWS, or GCP

Work Schedule:

Monday to Friday + occasional weekends

• GMT: 08:00 – 20:30
• Indian Standard Time (IST): 13:30 to 02:00

This role requires a significant time commitment (60+ hours per week).

Benefits / What We Offer:

• Monthly salary range: INR 30 - 33 LPA (Yearly)
• Performance-based salary increases aligned with company revenue growth
• Equity participation as an early employee and core engineer
• Clear and supported relocation pathway to the UK within 12–24 months
• Opportunity to be employee #11 and engineer #3 in a high-growth European startup
• Direct collaboration with founders and senior decision-makers
• High autonomy, ownership, and the chance to build career-defining systems.
