  • Overview

    Some great opportunities don’t present themselves too often. And it is one of such things which you better not to miss if you’re an Engineer who can do the things and fast right from scratch. Sounds like a typical startup thing, right? What’s so unique then? Well, this is a startup which already has a very decent money round - $25M, and more to come. AND they are looking to rewrite their backend from scratch now. AND their Head of Engineering is a top class boss - smart, young, energetic, appreciating top engineers and giving them a lot of freedom if they know what they’re doing.

    So, to summarize:

    • Backend from scratch
    • Startup with decent money in their bank - not just dreamers
    • Cool Head of Engineering
    • Small team, little overhead
    • The team will be growing eventually and so will you

    Downsides?

    • Noone to blame

    Now, here is more about the company/business itself:

    • Local Kitchens is a tech-enabled restaurant platform that brings beloved restaurant brands and world-class chefs to every neighborhood. Their long term goal is to serve 25,000 communities around the world and enable emerging brands and chefs to reach every household across our platform. They aim to reshape the $900bn restaurant industry through technology while bringing high-quality food options to families in every neighborhood of the world.
