New York, United States Zero21 Full time

Hi, thanks for checking out our job board

If you're an entrepreneurial-minded builder who loves to work with great people to solve wicked problems that have a meaningful impact, read on to see if this position might be a good fit for you

What we're doing

We are on a mission to eliminate bottlenecks and revolutionize the food and beverage CPG supply chain by developing innovative, all-in-one software that starts with the contract manufacturer.

Contract manufacturers and contract packagers (collectively, co-packers) are facilities that have extra production capacity and provide their services for a fee to customers (brands). Co-packers play a vital role in the trillion dollar U.S. Food and Beverage (F&B) Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry, providing a range of services to convert raw materials into finished goods. These facilities are responsible for blending, drying, baking, frying, forming, and milling raw materials into bottles, pouches, cans, and other packages for our favorite foods and drinks. They are vital businesses for all food and beverage brands, including the thousands of emerging food and beverage brands that lack the resources to handle manufacturing on their own.

We're building vertical B2B SaaS for F&B manufacturers to run all aspects of their daily operations from estimating costs and ordering raw materials to tracking inventory, managing communication with food and beverage brands, and automating production tasks. Our platform consolidates fragmented software systems and streamline workflows both internally within their business, and externally as they collaborate with their brand customers.

Who we are

Our founding team is no stranger to the complexities of the F&B industry. Our CEO Crawford launched coffee-focused beverage brands and began advising numerous CPG brands and manufacturers. He has lived and breathed the supply chain and manufacturing problems in the food and beverage industry as both an entrepreneur and investor. Our CTO Soheil has 6+ years of experience as a senior software engineer and tech lead at Amazon AWS and Google, across the full stack of software development and scaling and leading engineering teams. And, we're not alone.

We've raised $1M from Bienville Capital and have a team of advisors ranging from industry veterans and consultants.

We believe that our team is our greatest competitive advantage and take pride in having a team of exceptional humans. As a team, we value integrity, customer obsession, bias for action, lean product development, ownership and accountability. If this sounds like you and you're excited by the idea of getting in at the ground level to be part of building the infrastructure that will power the future of the food and beverage industry, we would love to hear from you

Who you are

We are building out our early engineering team with well-rounded, resourceful, full-stack engineers who want to create a product literally from the ground up. You are someone who loves building products that delights users. An ideal candidate for this role is not afraid to work on any part of the stack from infrastructure to front-end and is excited about the breadth of responsibility and autonomy. You are someone who people can depend on to get things done and take responsibility for your commitments. You love working alongside smart and talented people who are action oriented.

You'll be responsible for

As a founding engineer, you will be working closely with our CTO and CEO to understand the product strategy and lead software development using lean and agile methodologies. You will be involved in all aspects of the software development process, architectural decisions, recruiting and building the organization in general. This is a unique opportunity for someone who likes to both dive deep on the technical side and zoom out to collaborate with the executive team on setting a strategic future.

You will work across the full stack, designing and implementing modular systems with the right balance of structure and flexibility, building solutions that enable positive user experiences and meet the business needs of our pilot and future customers.
