We're transforming the grocery industry
At Instacart, we invite the world to share love through food because we believe everyone should have access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together. Where others see a simple need for grocery delivery, we see exciting complexity and endless opportunity to serve the varied needs of our community. We work to deliver an essential service that customers rely on to get their groceries and household goods, while also offering safe and flexible earnings opportunities to Instacart Personal Shoppers.
Instacart has become a lifeline for millions of people, and we’re building the team to help push our shopping cart forward. If you’re ready to do the best work of your life, come join our table.
Instacart is a Flex First team
There’s no one-size fits all approach to how we do our best work. Our employees have the flexibility to choose where they do their best work—whether it’s from home, an office, or your favorite coffee shop—while staying connected and building community through regular in-person events. Learn more about our flexible approach to where we work.
The Shopper Activation & Engagement team owns the complete shopper lifecycle—from activation and onboarding to engagement, earnings, quality and ratings, recognition, retention, and safety. Our systems directly influence marketplace health and efficiency, the shopper experience, and business continuity as we navigate evolving regulatory requirements.
As a Senior Software Engineer II on this team, you will lead strategic, high-impact engineering initiatives that shape how millions of shoppers get started, find work, and succeed on our platform. You will drive cross-team alignment, set technical direction across complex domains, and champion AI enablement to meaningfully improve developer productivity and the quality of our systems.
You will work closely with engineers across backend, mobile, and infrastructure, and partner with Product, Design, and Data Science. You’ll also collaborate with teams across Logistics, Identity & Fraud, Transaction Platform, and Mobile Foundations, plus business partners in Operations, Legal, Trust & Safety, CRM, Learning, and the Shopper Community. This role is remote within Canada.
We are a highly collaborative, outcomes-driven group that values operational excellence, transparency, and a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy solving complex problems at scale, you’ll find a meaningful home here.
