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.

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.

As a Staff Software Engineer on the FoodStorm team, you will play a pivotal role in modernizing FoodStorm’s on demand ordering, catering, and prepared food platform. You’ll contribute to rearchitecting the system using a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach, with a focus on building efficient, scalable, and maintainable solutions. With hands-on coding, deep problem-solving, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams—including an international engineering team in Australia—you’ll help improve the platform’s performance, reliability, and integration with Instacart systems. This role requires strong ownership of deliverables, as well as a proactive approach to technical challenges.
The FoodStorm team is leading the evolution of on demand ordering, catering, and prepared food management systems, empowering Instacart’s retail and grocery partners to streamline operations and expand their reach.
