Software Engineer - Menu & Location

The MeLo team

We are a team. Not a group of individuals. We are passionate about solving complex technical problems and take pride in the success of our products. There are no unicorns. Success depends on everyone working together to ship great features backed by maintaining frameworks for ongoing manual and automated testing. We are in this together.

At sweetgreen, we are seeking a passionate software engineer to join the menu and location team (MeLo). In this role, you will help evolve the menu and location domain of over 200 physical locations and over 1000 outposts while supporting 3000+ team members.

We value, encourage, and support diversity in backgrounds and opinions. We are human, fallible, lifelong learners - we make mistakes from which we learn and grow. We partner with product, design, data, IT, operations, and business stakeholders in long-term ownership of the solutions we build to improve the lives of our customers.

Your Impact

• Self-starter: This role is for a motivated individual looking to own and help drive all parts of the codebase they touch. This is the place to be if you seize problems to resolve and contribute to the teams and organizations you are part of.
• Teamwork: Together, we will automate & streamline how MeLo data is propagated through the org. Audit tools that ensure data integrity, along with apps and services that support team members internally and in the field, will be the order of the day.
• Adapt: Change is a constant here, and with it comes new challenges. You will not be alone when facing them but will be expected to do your part. Fulfilling this role will mean thinking on your feet.
• Your Growth: A clear progression path and regular 1:1’s will guide you along your desired career goals.
• Mindset: We continue to expand our footprint. Your solutions will contribute to taking the long view of managing not simply the 200 we have today but 500 or more. We will develop with the future in mind.
• End-to-End: Develop a deep understanding of the order lifecycle by reviewing the existing system design and documentation, with an eye towards quality and accessibility for all users.
• Log: Within Confluence, contribute to the documentation of various domain products. This will ensure the teams' tools we build are accessible and well-understood.
• Ownership: Everyone on the team has one or more products they own. You will have direct stewardship over the products you own. This can include developing a roadmap, documentation, and educating others about the product.
