The Shopping Platform team is part of HelloFresh’s Active Journey Alliance, which focuses on maximizing retention and engagement of active customers. Our mission is to deliver a seamless post-purchase experience, empowering users to manage their subscriptions, reorder their favorite meals, and receive proactive support in case of issues.

This team builds and maintains core backend services that power subscription lifecycle management, order editing, and error resolution workflows. We are currently modernizing parts of the stack by transitioning from PHP-based legacy services to a scalable, event-driven Golang microservices architecture, designed to handle the complexity of a global operation serving millions weekly.

You'll be joining a product-driven, cross-functional squad where backend engineers work closely with product managers, designers, and data teams to deliver impactful features while ensuring high performance, fault tolerance, and maintainability.
