Shipt is a membership-based marketplace that helps people get the things they need. Our friendly shoppers handpick fresh groceries and household essentials and deliver them to members in as soon as one hour.  To make all this possible, our internal operations and the tools they use are crucial to their success.

Shipt is growing and we are searching for a Frontend Software Engineer to join our team! In this role, you will be a major contributor in building and maintaining frontend UI components for ours and other teams to use, maintaining and grow our micro frontend platform used across the company and build efficiencies and tooling for all of the different business units here at Shipt. Overall, you will make Shipt move faster, more efficiently and change the way we operate internally. We work mostly in React and TypeScript, however, other languages can be learned: we care much more about your general engineering skill than knowledge of a particular language or framework.

The best way to describe internal tools here at Shipt is that our engineering teams, internal operations, logistics, and customer service live their lives in the tools we build. We believe that the only way they can provide the best experience to our members, shoppers, and partners is for us to first provide that level of excellence to them and that is our charter.
