Join Choco, where we build and own solutions that reshape a broken food system. The global food supply chain is inefficient by design. Waste is high, margins are thin, and most distributor order processes are done over the phone, tracked across broad spreadsheets, and based on intuition rather than strong data. At Choco, we’re changing that. We build software used daily by food distributors and their customers to run their business. It automates orders, reduces errors, and helps operations run faster and more reliably. Because it’s embedded in daily operations, our SaaS platform has immediate, real-world impact, on efficiency, margins, and how businesses run day to day. As a Senior Software Engineer, Platform, you'll build the technical foundation that enables every engineering team at Choco to build, ship, and operate software reliably at scale. As we grow and serve increasingly demanding enterprise customers, our platform needs to evolve. You'll help improve the backend architecture, infrastructure, and developer tooling that keeps our systems scalable, reliable, and maintainable—while making engineers across the company more productive. This isn't a role for someone who wants to work on infrastructure in isolation. You'll own problems end-to-end, from understanding why they matter to designing, shipping, operating, and driving adoption of the right solution. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Design and build scalable backend systems, platform capabilities, and shared services used across Engineering. * Improve developer experience through reusable tooling, frameworks, APIs, and automation. * Operate and continuously improve distributed production systems with reliability, observability, and maintainability in mind. * Partner closely with Product Engineering teams to solve complex technical problems and remove platform bottlenecks. * Drive technical initiatives from architecture through implementation, rollout, and operational adoption. * Make pragmatic engineering decisions that balance long-term quality with business priorities. * Help prepare Choco's platform for the next stage of enterprise-scale growth. WHAT YOU BRING * Significant experience building and operating backend systems at meaningful production scale. * Strong experience with distributed systems, microservices, event-driven architectures, scalable APIs, and cloud infrastructure. * A track record of owning complex technical problems from discovery through implementation and production operation. * Sound engineering judgement—you know when to improve existing systems, when to simplify, and when not to redesign. * Experience with TypeScript is a plus. We're equally excited to meet exceptional engineers from Go, Java, Kotlin, or similar ecosystems who are motivated to work in TypeScript. WHAT YOU GET * Work on digitalizing core operating systems for food distributors, automating orders, sales and payments in a system that still largely runs on calls and spreadsheets. * Work with an AI product with proven product–market fit, already embedded in distributor workflows and directly affecting order accuracy, speed, and margins. * Join a global team across 6 countries and 40+ nationalities, building a company that has raised $300M+ and reached unicorn status (~$1.2B valuation) with the ambition to define this category end-to-end. * In return, you get real ownership, equity, and the support to do your best work, including competitive compensation, health and wellbeing support, and long-term benefits like a sabbatical (all localized by office). * Collaborate with people who want to own outcomes in a messy, real-world system and make it work at scale. If you want to work on real problems, take ownership, and raise the bar, we should talk. Choco is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.
