Picnic is an app-only supermarket. We’re data driven with
software at our core. Our world-class developers write immaculate code
to support the world’s fastest growing supermarket. We’re on a quest for
like-minded people to be part of the future of digital grocery
shopping.
Where you fit in
Our
developers are integrated, involved, and essential to each part of our
company. From route planning, scaling our customer analytics to handle
millions of messages, to how many bananas we should have in our
warehouse on a Thursday – they write, plan, and predict.
As
one of our Java Developers, you take ownership of projects, learn, and
work collaboratively with your colleagues. You constantly design, test,
evolve, and evaluate the nuts and bolts of our operation while offering a
creative and analytical approach.
The
high-quality code that stems from your fingertips is stylish, sexy, and
robust. You just love to build ultra-scalable systems. You’re at home
writing platforms and you display an intricate understanding of how each
line of code fits into a business plan.
Your
skills will be complemented with the latest tech. We are committed to
pushing development wherever possible. When you arrive you’ll be working
with Java 8, but soon you’ll help us make the transition to Java 9.
At
Picnic we have diverse projects to keep you interested. Think you
should focus on Android development? That’s fine - you’ll have the
freedom to experiment and evolve your own abilities.
We
don’t hide our developments. We open-source with the community that
helped us grow. If you require more motivation to apply - check out our
