Job Description
At Picnic, we’re revolutionizing the way people buy groceries with our
innovative and sustainable app-only service. We do almost everything in-house,
developing cutting-edge technologies and processes to ensure we continue to
grow rapidly without missing a beat. If you’re a passionate Angular Developer,
we’re offering you the opportunity to join the diverse team at our Amsterdam
HQ and make a real difference in our scaleup environment.
## 🥜 In a nutshell
Picnic has a variety of internal Angular applications to support the work that
we do delivering groceries to customers - from efficiently managing our
warehouse processes to ensuring that we order the right amount of products to
meet demand, there’s always something important to work on. Don’t worry, you
won’t be alone - you’ll work closely with product owners, designers and
backend developers to craft the right tools for the job. During our monthly
Angular guild meetings you will have the chance to meet with Angular
developers from other teams across Picnic to share knowledge and discuss
relevant topics.
