About Foodia
Foodia wants to help consumers better understand whats on their plates by addressing the information vacuum surrounding our food system. The app will break food down into its constituent elementscost, health, and environmental impactand then put those elements directly at a users fingertips. We want to save consumers both time and money by filling the information gaps surrounding our food system. We'll parse food data so that users don't have to. This space is largely emptyand were looking to fill it.
Principal Duties & Responsibilities:
On the front-end, the engineering team (which the CTO will lead) will be tasked with building our user interface. We need it to be simple and clean, yet also extremely powerful. The application will be powered by the wealth of food data that Foodias research team accumulates, but it will be driven by how well the UI enables users to unlock that data.
On the back-end, the CTO's team will be responsible for building the technology infrastructure. Because our dataset will be immense, we need to ensure that all the information is parsed efficiently. This will require a clean, elegant map of the product/industry data that we accumulate. In short, we need the web architect to surpass all web architects. We havent yet defined the stack that well be using, but it may well be Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Its ultimately up to the CTO to determine what works best.
Compensation: Salary & Equity package
Specific Types of Knowledge, Experience & Skills Required:
o First and foremost, a yen for food
o Self-motivated, enjoys working on a small team, and comfortable in a leadership role
o Mastery of HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Adobe Creative suite; excellent grasp of PHP, SQL, etc.
o 3+ years of industry experience
o Mobile development experience a HUGE plus
