In a nutshell

At Picnic, we're revolutionising the way people buy groceries with our affordable and sustainable grocery service.  We do almost everything in-house, developing cutting-edge technologies and processes to ensure we continue to grow rapidly without missing a beat. 

In all our customer-facing products, we use React. Our mobile application uses React Native, combined with our home-grown server-driven UI framework. We have ambitious plans to unify our mobile and web applications into a single platform. Quality is our top priority, so we use TypeScript across the board. 

We are looking for ambitious front-end engineers to help us bring the grocery shopping revolution to millions of customers. In this role, in addition to working with React daily you'll be working with our powerful server-driven UI framework that's at the heart of our business's success:
