Senior Software Engineer - Frontend, Web

At Too Good To Go, we dream of a planet with no food waste.

We can all do our part in fighting food waste and do our bit to tackle climate change by reducing the amount of food wasted.  Did you know, more than one-third of all food produced gets thrown away? This unnecessary food waste equates to 10% of greenhouse gas emissions!

Too Good To Go is a food waste-fighting app and a certified B Corporation. We connect stores that have unsold, surplus food with consumers who buy and enjoy it. We save two meals every second, all thanks to our 2+ million daily users. We have over 68 million registered app users in 17 locations across Europe, the US and North America. Together, we have saved more than 183 million meals from going to waste. We are super proud of this, but there is still lots more that we want to achieve.
