About Us
At Saltz, we believe the finest ingredients should be available in one marketplace. For too long, the culinary world has been tangled in a web of distributors and hidden costs, separating passionate chefs from incredible producers. We’re changing that.
Saltz is the digital marketplace where quality and creativity connect directly. We empower chefs to discover and source an incredible variety of fresh ingredients, from local farms to international craftsmen, with complete transparency. For producers, we unlock a global market overnight. An oyster farm can join Saltz today and be selling to hundreds of restaurants across six countries by tomorrow. That’s the power of our platform.
We are a VC-backed, fast-growing startup, and we’re unapologetically ambitious. Our vision is to connect thousands of suppliers with thousands of chefs across hundreds of cities, creating a new, efficient, and transparent ecosystem for fresh food.
About The Role
We are on a mission to scale the marketplace, to do that, we need robust, scalable technology that can handle complex logistics, real-time inventory, and seamless transactions. We are looking for a seasoned Backend Engineer that will be building new features, implementing scalable system architecture, and improving the foundation of our platform.
You will work in a flat, collaborative environment alongside our Head of Engineering and Product teams. We believe in autonomy, so you will own your features from the first line of code to the final deployment.
