Customers, Subscriptions and Orders, these are the three core domains that power the HelloFresh business. In the Consumer Core Alliance, the team ensures that customers are able to register for a new account, login, purchase a plan and place an order.

On a high level, Consumer Core ensures that HelloFresh customers can perform these core actions in a reliable and scalable manner as our business continues to grow. The team focuses on building decoupled microservices to extract the core domains from the monolithic application and enable future business opportunities at scale. The team is able to do so while being agile without compromising on quality, delivering value to our customers in an iterative and sustainable way with a big emphasis on the team rather than the individuals.

Our Backend Engineers assume development and operational responsibility for the HelloFresh platform that serves millions globally to deliver the best experience for our customers and internal users.

We are looking for strong problem-solvers who can apply their engineering skills to a wide range of platforms and environments while also acting as an ambassador to coach team members and stakeholders.

Above all, we are looking for people who will make HelloFresh better. We believe there are many different ways of developing skills and we love diverse experiences! So even if you don’t “tick all the boxes” but think you’d thrive in this role, we would really like to learn more about you.
