About the role

  • We put what is best for the broader team ahead of what is best for ourselves or our immediate department. > Get S#!t

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain backend systems and services that support Tovala's software products across web and mobile. Our current backend stack is Go and AWS, but we value your ability to learn and adapt over specific language experience.
  • Own problems end-to-end. You'll scope work, make technical decisions, implement solutions, and see them through to production. You won't wait to be handed a spec.
  • Collaborate directly with stakeholders and other engineers to understand customer problems, define solutions, and make smart trade-offs between speed and quality.
  • You thrive working alongside product, design, and other teams.

Nice to have

  • Experience with Go and/or AWS (our current primary backend stack).
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation) and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience helping define or evolve AI development practices for a team or organization.
  • Background working in a consumer product or food-tech company.
  • Solution-Minded: You focus on outcomes, not output.
  • You want to understand the customer problem before you start writing code, and you're not precious about your approach if a better one emerges.
  • AI-Forward: You see AI tools as a fundamental shift in how software gets built, not a novelty.
  • You're already using them daily and have thoughts on how teams should work with them effectively.
