30% of the food produced worldwide is wasted. It is estimated that 11 million tons of food ends up in the trash instead of in hungry mouths every year. ResQ Club was created to solve this huge and complex problem – in other words, to bring global food waste to zero. We help restaurants, cafes and grocery stores find buyers for unsold food.
Impossible problems require unconventional minds. We are constantly looking for talented people who can challenge the status quo, find creative yet sustainable solutions, and – as empathic team members – do their part in making sure the work is meaningful and fun for everyone involved.
We are currently strengthening the team and hiring a Full-stack mobile developer (Flutter + Typescript) to support our product growth and international expansion. You will work on our partner-facing apps as part of our Product team. You will be directly involved in the technical design and architecture of the software, with many opportunities to take ownership of features or components. There will be space for you to express your creativity, both in technical and product design, especially in the still very nascent surplus food market.
Within 2 months, we expect that you will be contributing code to our new Payment Service Provider integration, but potentially not at full productivity. Within 6 months, we expect you will be fully onboarded onto the team, capable of independently handling development tasks and suggesting improvements to our processes and technology.
As a Full-stack mobile developer at ResQ Club, you will…
- Rebuild our partner-facing apps with Flutter
- Participate in the revamp of our Payment Service Provider integration
- Collaborate in the re-design of core user flows to improve partner UX
- Develop backend features on the partner team
