## Who We Are
Hungryroot is the all-in-one recipe and grocery service. We're here to help
people feel their best and make grocery shopping, cooking, and enjoying
healthy food easier than ever. So, we're creating the first-of-its-kind food
experience that puts people (and the planet) first, built for busy lives and
individual needs.
We are a distributed team built on top talent from across the U.S. While we
have an office in NYC, we support employees creating “offices” wherever they
are. We believe in fostering team connection and collaboration across all of
our “offices” - so don’t expect to be online at 6 am to make a meeting if
you’re on the West coast. Expect to attend regular team building events, and
to be able to work from the beach every once in a while. Expect to be treated
like an owner who cares about our common goal, not someone who has to clock in
and out of work.
