More Than Just A Job
The goal is simple, to make healthy eating easy. To do this we need your support, building a scalable and maintainable rails eco-system that propels one of the UK's most loved start-ups forward. As a proud B-Corp we focus on using business as a force for good. We do this by balancing out people and planet with profit. For every recipe box bought we donate the equivalent of a school meal to a less developed country (over 17 million meals donated and counting...) and we have also pledged to go Net Zero by 2030 but there are so many other initiatives that we would love to tell you about!
If you would like to join one of the UK’s most loved start-ups and make a positive impact on people's lives, then we would love to speak with you.
What we are looking for
As a Principal Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in leading and driving technical excellence within our organisation. You will provide leadership, guidance and expertise to the team, whilst spending at least half of your time writing code.
This is a hands-on role that requires a deep understanding of our full technology stack based on a backend Rails API with Next.js/React Native clients, and numerous connected services. The ability to lead other specialist engineers when solving complex problems in these domains is key.
About us
We are MINDFUL. This is intrinsic to everything we do. From the healthy recipes we design, to the local, expert and caring suppliers we select and the way we treat each other, our customers and our environment.
We are PERSONAL. We started Mindful Chef with our friends and families as customers and those are the kind of relationships we want to maintain however big we grow. Being real and true to ourselves and each other.
We are UNAFRAID. We want to be the best – to challenge conventions, to think differently and be imaginative in how we solve problems. Brave enough to take on the big players and to do what’s right even when it’s difficult.
Equal Opportunities
At Mindful Chef, we embrace diversity and inclusion as a foundation that enriches our culture and fuels the success of our business. We are mindful of everyone’s differences and we take pride in the unique perspectives, experiences, and talents that each individual brings to our team.
We are unafraid to tackle biases and challenge stereotypes, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their personal strengths. Our commitment to diversity is not just a policy; it's a personal and collective responsibility that we take to heart.
We believe that by being mindful of our differences, unafraid to confront barriers, and embracing the personal stories and journeys of our team members, we can achieve greater innovation, creativity, and harmony in the workplace. Together we celebrate diversity, and together, we are better.
