Senior Software Engineer

We’re Tovala, a food-tech company reinventing home cooking to save consumers time. Through an innovative combination of hardware, software, and fresh food delivery, we make it incredibly simple for anyone to prepare and enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals without sacrificing time to do whatever matters to them. Through our superior technology, product experience and food quality, we have separated Tovala from the busy pack of other meal delivery businesses. In the process, we’ve amassed a loyal, rapidly growing following and our retention, product engagement and customer NPS are all best-in-class. We’ve raised over $100mm from great investors like Left Lane Capital, Origin Ventures, Y Combinator and Comcast Ventures and have invested strongly in building a unique culture that fosters growth, personal development and camaraderie. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our engineering team and help us build the systems that power Tovala’s digital experience and internal applications. This isn’t a role defined by a single language or framework. We care far more about your ability to architect strong backend systems, solve real problems, and ship products that matter to customers, both internal and external, than whether your background is in Go, Python, TypeScript, or something else entirely.   The way software gets built is changing fast. AI tools are already reshaping how our team works, and we want engineers who are not just comfortable with that shift but are actively leading it. You should have strong opinions on how to use AI-assisted development workflows to move faster without sacrificing quality. You’ll be expected to work across our stack, including backend services, infrastructure, and frontend when the problem calls for it, and to collaborate closely with product, design, and other engineering teams to deliver outcomes, not just code.
