Job Specifications
The role
As a full stack engineer at Hotplate, you'll build end-to-end features that will directly impact how thousands of chefs' and bakers' businesses run their businesses. You'll get to stretch across a range of work like building scalable systems & infrastructure to handle ticketmaster-style food drops, Chef-facing features that will provide powerful ways to manage and grow their business, and consumer-facing storefront and buying experiences that delight.
This role is best suited for someone who likes to participate in the full process of building features, from supporting on ideation and design to executing features independently.
What You Will Need To Be Successful
Extremely comfortable working full stack
A high bar for delivering clean, intuitive, UX experiences
A love for designing products and features from scratch
Have worked in early to mid-stage startups before, with experience taking projects from 0 to 1 independently
Comfortable with our stack: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node, Express, PostgreSQL, AWS
3+ years of product-focused, full-stack engineering
Our philosophy of engineering
Hotplate's engineering team is small, and as we scale we want to keep it that way. Every engineer operates in a full stack capacity. Features are owned by individuals, so even though we all have our strengths, each of us pushes code to all layers of the app. We find this increases our velocity, results in better decision-making before and during feature development, and is a forcing function for us to grow as full stack contributors.
Our team
We are a lean, mission-driven team. We exist to enable the next million chefs and bakers to scale local food businesses outside the brick & mortar model.
We operate with high ownership, laser focus on the impact we have for our chefs and bakers, and commitment to take on projects that push us out of our comfort zones.
We’re a tight-knit crew. We jam with a daily shared playlist, often hang for team lunch and happy hours, and always have snacks on the table (made by the team or a Hotplate Chef). We love working in a place where we all have a connection, and think it helps us work better as a team.

About the Company
Running a food business is hard, too hard. About 2/3 of brick and mortar restaurants and bakeries fail within their first year, putting these types of businesses in the same risk category as startups. It is insane that that is the case. However, during COVID, as people were stuck at home, a new model for selling food emerged: people making and selling food in their home through social media via pre-order pickup. These new businesses opened pre-orders for a brief period at the beginning of the week and had their customers com...
