Who We Are

EatStreet makes hungry people happy. Founded and based in Madison, Wisconsin, EatStreet is one of the largest online and mobile food ordering and delivery services in the Midwest. We deliver all things food, whether its local Pad Thai, groceries for your favorite recipes or a late night frozen pizza and ice cream.

Sounds simple enough, right? Think again. We have thousands of drivers, and deliver many thousands of orders per day. It is a fascinating and complex challenge: getting the right order to the right driver to the right place when the food is ready, and to our customers when they expect it. We bring technology and data science together to be dominant in our markets.

Is digging into a previously unsolved problem your idea of fun? 

Are you dedicated to building things right that can scale and expand with our business growth?

Are you ready to teach what you know and learn from others? 

Then join us! EatStreet continues to make the lists of best places to work and for all the right reasons. We are driven, have a mission, and win together.

What You'll Be Doing

You will be working with the EatStreet Consumer Products Engineering Team to build and improve our consumer-facing digital products, including the EatStreet Marketplace, Diner Apps and related technologies.

In particular, our current front-end code is written in an older JavaScript framework, which is part of a large code monolith. This is something we need to update and modernize, which is where you come in. Your main job will be working alongside our lead engineer to redesign and architect this code to a modern JavaScript framework. We will also be scoping and designing our front-end in a way that fits a service-oriented architecture. This means breaking out pieces of the code into smaller, more manageable applications. 

Our goal is to make our front-end modern, scalable, and adaptable while improving team ownership over their code. So if you are someone who is passionate about new technologies and frameworks, likes teamwork and agility, and is interested in tackling large projects, this is the perfect opportunity to showcase your passion and abilities and become a part of our team.
