Job Description
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.

- Strong mastery of the modern React ecosystem, TypeScript, and GraphQL, alongside deep experience utilizing or building reusable UI component libraries and design systems.
- Proven ability to lead and drive complex technical initiatives through the entire development lifecycle—from conception to launch—with a high degree of autonomy.
- A desire to dive deep into complex systems, with a strong interest in mastering an intricate business domain and understanding technical dependencies outside the frontend layer.
- A dedicated team player who actively participates in agile ceremonies, swarms on blockers, and is ready to mentor and guide junior engineers to support the team’s growth.
- You have leveraged modern AI-powered tools to accelerate development and enhance your workflow.
- Desire to learn and master new technologies to meet the evolving needs of the platform.
