About the role

As the Internal Tools Frontend Engineer at Tovala, you will design, architect, and build tools that will help your future coworkers manage customer accounts, adjust food production quotas, run A/B tests in our mobile apps, and more. We pride ourselves on being a small and lean engineering team allowing each individual to make decisions and take ownership over their work. You’ll be part of this close-knit team as we continue building mission critical software systems and tools that enable Tovala to scale. You should be an engineer that’s excited to own the complete process from meeting with non-engineering stakeholders (marketing, culinary, customer service, …) to executing and releasing the code to make it happen.

Example tools you will own:

  • Our customer management platform (written in React)
  • Our meal management system (written in React)
  • Small tools that help our operations team set meal quotas and manage automatic meal selections
  • A tool that allows our culinary development team to run cook cycle tests on 20 ovens at one time
  • Dashboards that let our hardware engineers debug our customers’ connected ovens remotely
  • And new projects you will discover by meeting with teams

About you

  • You have a 4-year degree in Computer Science or Engineering
  • You have 3+ years of experience building and leading deployment of production software critical to specific aspects of a business
  • You have outstanding engineering talent, shown by great results, cool side projects, or open source contributions
  • You have experience building responsive applications with HTML and CSS and using modern browser technologies
  • You have experience with React and Redux 
  • You emphasize functionality over aesthetics when working with internal customers
  • You are able to work independently and with others
  • You are a strong communicator who likes to collaborate to find ways to build improvements that make the company more efficient
  • You enjoy deep technical challenges and defining your own work
  • You want to work in an environment that: 
  • Takes a people-first approach
  • Values humility, integrity, and ambition
  • Is focused on creating a culture that keeps people happy and challenged
  • You love food, whether that means cooking it, eating it, frequently pressing your nose against deli windows, or lusting after soft-serve on Instagram. All fair game.

An Insider's view of Tovala

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

At Tovala, one of our core values is leading full lives. We work hard, but also strive to create an organization that is “about time” and encourages people to prioritize their health, family, and life.

CFO

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

The Data Team at Tovala abides by these principles: 1. Be a person, not your job - Respect, kindness, and levity increase the success rate of collaborative projects. 2. Best answer wins - We care about the quality – not the source – of ideas. 3. Over-Communicate - We meticulously communicate progress, blockers, and changes – though we don't nag!

How does the company support your career growth?

I have grown with Tovala from packaging meals at one of our facilities to now analyzing data on the Ops team to ensure that our customers receive their meals on time! Over the past 3.5 years I have been promoted four times. I have had the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility, understand the business, and grow immensely!

Operations Analyst

What's something quirky about your company?

I know it sounds like a cliche when people say that their company is like a family, but truly Tovala is like my family. There’s so much care and respect among team members that motivates me and everyone always jumps right in to help. I’ve also had the privilege as an early member to see this team grow quickly and maintain the same caring culture.
