Careers

Help us build a recipe site worth subscribing to.

We are a small team based out of Aventura, Florida, with people working from kitchens, home offices, and the occasional coffee shop across the United States.

Why join us

A small company that takes the work seriously.

Remote-first

Eight of our ten people work from home. We meet in person twice a year for a long-weekend cook and otherwise trust adults to manage their own calendars.

Meaningful work

You will ship work that real people read, cook from, and pay for. No internal politics, no twenty-stakeholder reviews -- just the recipe, the photo, or the code, and whether it is any good.

Real ownership

Every full-time hire gets equity, full health coverage, four weeks of vacation, and a budget for a home kitchen setup that actually works for the job.

Open roles

We are hiring for these positions.

Senior Recipe Developer

Remote (US) | Full-time

Develop and test six to eight recipes per month across our cuisine categories. Restaurant experience welcome but not required; what matters is whether your recipes work the second time someone else cooks them.

Member Experience Associate

Remote (US, Eastern hours) | Full-time

Answer member emails -- billing, recipes, shipping, the occasional kitchen disaster. You will be the voice of the company for most of our customers, so you should be warm, patient, and a real cook yourself.

Full-Stack Engineer

Remote (US) | Full-time

Build and maintain the site, the checkout, and the upcoming iOS app. PHP and JavaScript today; Swift soon. You should care about page speed, accessibility, and shipping clean code that someone else can read in a year.

Our values

How we work, in three short ideas.

"Ship the recipe only when you would feed it to your most opinionated friend. Anything less and we are wasting our readers' grocery budget."

-- The recipe team rule

"Write like a person, edit like an editor. We do not publish jargon, we do not pad sentences, and we do not pretend cooking is harder than it is."

-- The editorial standard

"Answer the email within a business day, even if the answer is short. Members remember being respected more than they remember being delighted."

-- The support principle
