Overview
The New Ventures team is HelloFresh's engine for exploring and scaling the next wave of growth beyond our core business – owning the company's newest and most innovative brands such as The Pets Table, GoodChop & Factor Form. We build the products, platforms, and brands that expand HelloFresh's reach into new markets, business models, and customer segments — moving fast, validating boldly, and scaling what works. Our teams operate with a startup mindset inside a global company, combining the freedom to experiment with the infrastructure and data of one of the world's largest meal kit businesses. We use data-driven decision-making and increasingly leverage AI to discover new opportunities and bring them to life at speed. If you're energized by ambiguity, motivated by impact, and excited to shape what HelloFresh becomes next, this is the team for you.
As a Senior Software Developer, your role will be to help implement solutions and write beautiful code, working with various team members as we build out our consumer facing applications and the infrastructure that supports them. As a member of our Toronto team, you’ll work with highly-skilled engineers, who in collaboration with our other global teams, have turned HelloFresh into the #1 meal delivery service in the world!
