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 107 million registered users and 242,000 active partners across 19 countries, have together already prevented 388+ million meals from going to waste - avoiding over 1049.000 tonnes of CO2e!
The Role
We are looking for a Senior Android Software Engineer to join our Tech Foundation team, focused on empowering developers across product teams to deliver high-quality solutions efficiently.
Too Good To Go is expanding, bringing in more developers and rapidly growing our codebase.
