Not bad. But you can help us do better.

You are accountable for maintaining an easy-to-use, reliable app. When updates are released, you roll them out to users and track their activity for bugs. A smooth app is vital. Critical bugs lead to; no deliveries, empty cupboards, and unhappy customers.

Using hands-on experience with the product development cycle you constantly test, evolve, and evaluate our features. You collaborate with designers to bring their prototypes into a functional reality. Real customers test the app in our user-testing lab giving you the opportunity to trial new features each week.

You’re ready to meet ambiguous requirements to ensure a smooth, elegant and user-friendly experience for all our customers!

We don’t hide our developments. We open-source with the community that helped us grow. If you require more motivation to apply - check out our page: http://picnic.tech
