As a global food solutions group and the world's leading meal kit provider, the portfolio includes HelloFresh, Green Chef, EveryPlate, Chefs Plate, Factor_, and Youfoodz.\nEngaging with HelloFresh in Warsaw means collaborating with HelloTech-a global technology division of over 1,000 people powering an end-to-end food ecosystem. From digital personalization and forecasting to supply chain optimization and food waste reduction, technology drives every step of this direct-to-consumer model.\nAbout the Role: What's in the Box\nHelloTech operates in autonomous, cross-functional alliances, each holding accountability for a specific product domain end to end. The service provider will join an assigned squad, with the flexibility to transition between teams and projects as technical objectives and business priorities evolve.\nSeveral technical domains are actively engaging providers. Projects will be aligned based on individual strengths and expertise during the process. Key technical domains include:\nMarketing Customer Profile squad: Builds AI-powered backend systems that automate campaign execution end-to-end, from content generation and validation to multi-channel delivery across email, SMS, and push.\nConversions Tribe: supporting the \"Reachable Audience\" and Personalization initiatives. The mission is to build the systems that power customized user journeys at scale.\nAcross all domains, the technical profile consists of highly available, event-driven distributed systems serving global architectures. This role does not include people management responsibilities.\nWhat You’ll Do: The Recipe\nAt HelloFresh we are moving away from a model where software developers just execute tickets toward one where product engineers are trusted to own customer problems. A Product Engineer takes a problem, forms a point of view, validates it with customers and data, and ships it using AI as a force multiplier.\nTake the technical lead on backend-heavy product problems, designing, building and operating the services and systems needed to deliver them reliably at scale under a full DevOps model..\nBuild event-driven systems utilizing messaging technologies such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or AWS SQS/SNS, and expose data via clean REST and gRPC interfaces.\nWork extensively with Docker, container orchestration via Kubernetes, and CI/CD automated deployment pipelines.\nMaintain a strong commitment to testing, executing robust test suites stretching from unit tests through to full end-to-end coverage.\nCollaborate closely within cross-functional agile teams including product leads, frontend engineers, designers, and data teams.\nProvide technical guidance and support to surrounding team members, actively participating in code and architecture reviews.\n Leverage modern AI tools and workflows (e.g., Claude, Cursor) as a standardized component of engineering delivery to increase productivity.\nWork beyond your specialization when the problem demands it. Your specialization is your anchor, not your boundary.\nOperate what you build. You instrument, monitor, and improve your systems in production. Shipping is the beginning of the learning cycle, not the end.\nWhat You’ll Bring: The Ingredients\n Hands-on experience working with AI tooling (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) beyond casual experimentation. You use AI agents every day. You have a practical sense of how the context you provide to AI tools shapes output quality, and how to set boundaries on AI-generated work.\nStrong fluency in Go or Python and hands on experience building distributed systems in production: event-driven and asynchronous flows, clear service contracts, and designing for partial failure. High proficiency in one stack is required, with a willingness to expand technical knowledge into Go. You operate what you build, including its observability and data layer.\nSolid experience building, deploying, and operating critical backend services in a production environment.\nTechnical comfort navigating distributed systems, messaging queues, containerization, and modern deployment infrastructure.\nStrong software engineering instincts, including practical application of design methodologies like TDD, BDD, or DDD, and the ability to make sensible technical trade-offs.\nExcellent communication capabilities to operate effectively inside an international, multi-disciplinary technical environment.\nYou take full ownership. You have a bias to ship. You finish the last twenty percent. \nYou have product sense and are opinionated about what should be built and why, and you can back that opinion with data and user evidence.\nWhat We Offer: The Toppings\nGlobal collaboration at scale: Collaborate with experienced engineers and product partners across HelloTech’s international teams, in a culture of active knowledge sharing.\nTechnology with real-world impact: Build and operate modern systems at global scale, supporting millions of customers and complex supply chain operations.\nTechnical/Product/Design leadership: Drive best practices and influence architecture/design, quality, and ways of working in an autonomous, product-led setup.\nEnd-to-end development/delivery: Drive decisions from problem definition to production, improving systems and enabling long-term scalability.\n Access to workspace at Warsaw centre: The hub offers modern facilities including showers, breakout zones, outdoor space, cycle parking, and refreshments (coffee, soft drinks, and fruit).","description_format":"text","description_chars":5584,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Online Groceries","Subscription Commerce","Prepared Foods"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T13:30:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.528,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":112,"expected_fill_days":40,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hellofresh-dev-senior-backend-product-engineer-python-andor-go-all-genders","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hellofresh-dev-senior-backend-product-engineer-python-andor-go-all-genders.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T06:44:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10001,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1061},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1061"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhellofresh-dev-senior-backend-product-engineer-python-andor-go-all-genders"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhellofresh-dev-senior-backend-product-engineer-python-andor-go-all-genders"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhellofresh-dev-senior-backend-product-engineer-python-andor-go-all-genders"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hellofresh-dev-senior-backend-product-engineer-python-andor-go-all-genders\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhellofresh-dev-senior-backend-product-engineer-python-andor-go-all-genders"}]}
