Full-Stack Engineer - Production Planning

Afresh, the AI platform for grocery, began by tackling the most complex problem in the industry: fresh, and has evolved into the core AI platform for grocers.

By leveraging proprietary AI designed for high-volatility environments, we empower partners like Albertsons, Meijer, and Wakefern to drive smarter decisions across their entire enterprise.

Following record-breaking 70% revenue growth in 2025, we have scaled to 6 enterprise-grade solutions, with solutions live in over 10% of the U.S. grocery market. Our platform now orchestrates billions of decisions from the store floor to the distribution center and prevented over 200 million pounds of food waste last year alone.

If you're looking for a role where your work directly translates into massive scale and social good, and you want to be part of the team that defines how the world eats, there is no better time to join us.

This is a high-impact position where your work directly stabilizes the food supply chain for thousands of communities.

What You’ll Do

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Professional-level proficiency in TypeScript (or JavaScript).

• Collaborative attitude while also being highly self-directed


• You are energized by "hard problems"—the kind where logic, data, and user experience intersect to solve global waste issues. 


• You thrive in fast-paced startup environments. You are highly self-directed but value a deeply collaborative team culture. 

Nice to Have

• Backend/Data: Python, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, DBT, or Databricks.
