Job DescriptionJob Description

Mill is all about answering a simple question: how can we prevent waste? Less waste can save time, money, energy, maybe even our planet. And there's no better place to start than food. Food waste is one of the most solvable climate problems facing us today. Plus, our trash really stinks. It's gross, heavy, and our least favorite chore. At Mill we are striving to build a better environment for all, as we take on climate and kitchen change.

An ideal candidate will bring a broad set of problem solving skills and relish opportunities to solve novel problems with whatever tool is best for the job.

We work closely with product managers, other engineering teams, and testers to devise elegant user experiences and scale reliable stacks with Mill's rapid growth We are also iterating on our development process as the team grows, so it's important that candidates are invested in continuous improvement of process and best practices.

  • Experience setting up monitoring, alerting, logging, metrics, and quota management across a serverless stack.
  • Experience scaling services to support company growth, while making the correct engineering effort vs service cost tradeoffs for the company.
