About Us
Forage is building the modern payments stack that powers inclusive commerce. Our technology enables grocers, delivery platforms, and point-of-sale systems to seamlessly accept EBT payments both online and in-store. Beyond infrastructure, we’re helping SNAP EBT shoppers stretch their grocery budgets every week, making healthy food more affordable and accessible to the 42 million Americans on food assistance.
Backed by leading fintech investors, Forage is a fast-growing startup with a clear vision and real-world impact, feeding tens of thousands of families daily. Our team is made up of kind, driven individuals who take ownership, move quickly, and collaborate closely. We value humility, curiosity, and a shared commitment to making a difference.
We’re not just building payments infrastructure — we’re helping feed tens of thousands of families each day, and transforming grocery access for millions more. Watch our story and see why we do what we do.
What We Are Looking For
We're looking for recent college graduates excited to join small, focused teams, ship impactful features, and empower others through code. You'll have the opportunity to learn and grow while building user-friendly features with high technical standards. Your day-to-day will include giving and receiving thoughtful feedback in code reviews, contributing to technical designs, and ensuring the systems your team operates are reliable, scalable, and user-friendly. You'll be involved in the entire development lifecycle, from implementation to launch.
If you join the backend team, you'll primarily work with Python and frameworks like Django. On the frontend team, you'll work with TypeScript and contribute to our Android or iOS SDKs. You'll collaborate on cross-functional projects with engineers, product managers, and operations teams to ship impactful features. Along the way, you'll develop skills in project management and technical leadership, gaining the confidence to take ownership of projects from start to finish, while also empowering more Americans to access food.
