Software Engineer (Frontend)

At Too Good To Go, we have an ambitious goal: to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together.

40% of all food produced in the world is wasted. And that has a huge impact on the health of our planet, with 10% of greenhouse gas emissions coming from food waste. 

We’re more than an app: we are a certified B Corporation with a mission to empower everyone to take action against food waste, so alongside our marketplace app, we create educational tools, explore new business solutions - such as our Retail Technologies offering, and influence legislation to help reduce food waste.

We’re growing fast: Our community of 133 million registered users and 261,000 active partners across 21 countries, have together already prevented 517+million meals from going to waste - avoiding over 1.397.000 tonnes of CO2e!

The Role

We are looking for a Software Engineer - Frontend, to be a part of our Partner Value Proposition Product Team that defines, builds and delivers our product features. As a Team Member in a product team, you will work towards specific outcomes with the freedom and responsibility to figure out the best way to achieve them together with the other Engineers and other Product Team members.

Your mission will be to help refine, design, implement, deliver and maintain various product features. 

Your task will be to develop, build and deliver an international top-class product, ensuring quality, maintainability, and sustainability. Supported by more experienced colleagues who will guide, train and encourage you to push limits, and improve.

The Tech Stack

We have built a single-page application in React using TypeScript, RTK Query, React Router, and MUI, localized into multiple languages. Developers typically run the SPA locally using Vite, connecting to backend endpoints hosted on our remote test environments, ensuring a fast and modern developer experience.

We are currently transitioning from MUI to our own in-house design system. As part of this role, you will contribute to the development and adoption of the design system.

To support this transition, we are actively exploring AI-assisted UI development to streamline the path from Figma designs to implementation. By combining our design system with modern AI tooling, we aim to reduce repetitive work, improve consistency, and accelerate feature delivery.
