The products we create are based on what our customers want: health, performance and affordable prices. We are fearless entrepreneurs who believe that with a little bit of ingenuity, a clever use of technology, and by paying honest attention to what people seek, we can make the tastiest cookies, the cleanest soaps, the softest diapers, at the fairest prices, while keeping you healthy and our world safe.

We're a fast growing, ambitious startup backed by a set of top notch investors. If you want to make a big impact fast, believe in a future where everyone has access to high quality affordable consumption, and would like to join the friendliest team in Retail-tech, then we would love to speak to you.

We are small, but we have big plans to turn the retail world upside down, and we invite everyone to join us as we pioneer a future where grocery shopping is better for all.

About the role 💻
We’re looking for a driven computer engineer and technical strategist who can build and lead our development team and join our leadership. As our VP of Engineering, you will work hand in hand with our CPO and alongside the leadership team to design the product roadmap and make key strategic decisions across all aspects of the business. Salary is at competitive local market rates, with significant growth based on performance. You’ll be working among a world-class team of entrepreneurs and business people who have started and participated some of the most successful startups in Latin America.

About you 🙌🏻
  • Nothing thrills you more than starting such an ambitious project from scratch - and you understand what this entails: discussing long-term strategy one day and developing the product the next
  • You lead by example: even though you will not be in charge of actually programming 100% of the time, you are the best developer in the company (in at least two of Python, JavaScript, Ruby, or PHP) and you can help your team of developers thrive and become better professionals
  • You are analytical and love having a say in all the strategic and business decisions that will be made, day after day, in a complex business
  • For you, developing for users is the only way to go: you understand that any piece of software, no matter how beautifully optimized and performant, is useless unless it actually solves your users’ problems
  • Your passion for what we’re building is so strong that you can keep your entire team motivated and easily attract other developers to join us

Bonus points: we’ll definitely want to have a conversation if 🤘🏻
  • You are an excellent communicator and are able to translate complex technological reasoning to your business (less tech-savvy) stakeholders
  • You have a prior experience managing development teams
  • You have a prior experience designing and launching software for other e-commerce companies

What we offer 💵
  • A chance to join the team as an early employee and have autonomy and ownership of engineering at Nyati
  • The opportunity to work with the most modern tech stack
  • The tools you need to do your best work
  • A competitive compensation package, with significant growth based on performance
  • The opportunity to build the future of mass - healthy - consumption
  • An inclusive, transparent, friendly and fun working environment - we pride ourselves on being the friendliest team in Retail-tech

  • Apply to this very job post.
  • Quick telephone chat with Angie our CPO
  • Work on a technical challenge
  • On-site interview with Angie
  • Final interview with René our CEO and Laurène our CMO
