Farmer’s Fridge is on a mission to make it simple for everyone to eat well. We serve healthy, handcrafted meals and snacks from our growing network of 400+ Smart Fridges (software-enabled vending machines) as well as direct-to-consumer channels. We are striving to change the food system from the ground up – one Fridge or delivery at a time. 

We are a team that cares -– about the business, the impact our product makes, and each other. We are data-driven, innovative, and quick to move on a good idea. We are looking for people who want to collaborate in an entrepreneurial, inclusive culture and have a passion to succeed.

We are seeking a Platform Architect who will play an integral role in building a centralized technology platform to scale the company’s business. You will partner closely with our supply chain and consumer engineering teams to understand engineering needs and help us design and implement a scalable and durable foundation. This role will shape the direction of our platform capabilities as well as lead innovation efforts to mature our internal process.

What You’ll Do:

  • Work with Software and Platform teams to build a centralized technology platform and revamp our DevOps stack
  • Design and implement cloud-first solutions for observability and help mature the way we handle issues in the process
  • Partner cross-functionally to understand software engineering needs and create solutions to increase automation and reduce developer toil
  • Introduce and accelerate new technologies and methodologies to support digital transformation and best practices
  • Mentor junior engineers and lead cross-functional initiatives that transform our tech platform and capabilities

What Your Background May Look Like:

  • Background in SRE and/or DevOps with the ability to speak to both sides of the house
  • Direct hands-on experience in a serverless-first environment as well as familiarity with container orchestration
  • Experience implementing holistic observability and monitoring solutions
  • Experience setting up modern CI/CD pipelines
  • Highly technical, working hands-on-keyboard while continuing to think at a high, innovative level regarding future state platform design
  • Demonstrated experience maturing processes in a rapidly scaling environment
  • Strong understanding of business and customer needs with the leadership and communication skills to serve as a trusted business partner
  • Strong expertise in AWS and networking fundamentals
  • Strong programming ability in Python and infrastructure scripting

Benefits at Farmer's Fridge:

In This Together - Our HQ employees are currently working from home, but we stay connected virtually with weekly town hall meetings, social hours, and remote game nights. Our bonus roles as taste testers are also still intact! You can sample what new items we’re cooking up in our test kitchen with our menu team’s no-contact "employee drive-thru".

Happier Weekdays - Each day at work should fill you with joy, not dread. We're a fun and passionate group, and we don't take ourselves too seriously. Bring your unique self to work, dress comfortably, and always feel free to share your thoughts and opinions. We encourage curiosity and inquiry; there's no hierarchy here when we're all swapping ideas.  

Innovate & Elevate - We're all teachers and learners. You'll grow, and help grow the company through cross-functional collaboration, open access to leadership, and regular business updates. You have a direct impact on the company’s bottom line. You can also impact your personal bottom line by participating in our 401(k) plan that includes a company match with immediate vesting, and you'll succeed alongside our business with our bonus and equity plans.
