Job description

Head of Engineering

We’re best known for our FoodHealth Score , a 1–100 rating system that measures the true health of food products. It functions like a FICO Score for food , used by grocery retailers and food brands across the country. (See the power of the score in action - https : / / www.foodhealth.co / healthofamericasgrocerycarts)

We have multiple Fortune 500 retail & CPG clients, and a recent $8M Series A. We operate Monday-Thursday (remote Fridays) from our SOMA office.

The Role

We’re looking for a Head of Engineering to build the future, hands‑on.

Someone who writes elegant, scalable code on Monday, shapes architecture on Tuesday, and recruits A+ engineers by Friday.

This person will be the technical backbone and creative engine behind FoodHealth Co’s products.

You’ll work directly with the CEO, CCO & CPO to design, build, and scale systems that make the FoodHealth Score ubiquitous across retailers, CPG brands, and millions of consumers.

If you can turn a messy grocery dataset into something that changes how the world eats, this is your moment.

What You'll Do

  • Own our technical vision – work with our CPO to shape and execute the roadmap across consumer (FoodHealth AI) and enterprise (FoodHealth Intel / API) products.
  • Build and lead – write code, ship fast, and grow a small, mighty engineering team (currently a team of 7).
  • Architect for scale – design systems that handle billions of data points across products, ingredients, and users.
  • Collaborate deeply – work side‑by‑side with product, design, and data science to turn ideas into working magic.
  • Create leverage – use AI, automation, and scrappy innovation to do more with less.
  • Think like an owner – move fast, sweat the details, and make great decisions with limited information.

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years in software engineering, with at least 2 years leading teams or projects.
  • Proven ability to ship products end‑to‑end — from architecture to launch.
  • Experience with data‑heavy products is a must; retail experience is a huge plus.
  • Startup DNA : thrive in ambiguity, bias toward action, and make things happen without a playbook.
  • A builder's spirit : creative, curious, and deeply hands‑on.
  • Most importantly, you care about health, food, and building something that matters.
  • Why Work With Us

  • Impact : shaping the future of food; you’ll be on the ground floor.
  • Ownership : high autonomy and decision‑making power from day one.
  • Team : passionate, ambitious people.
  • Growth : startup poised for major scale and influence.
  • Culture : intellectual rigor, speed, transparency, and kindness.
  • Compensation

  • Salary Range : $180K - $230K
  • Equity : competitive equity package at an early‑stage company
  • Benefits : 100% employer‑funded healthcare, monthly food benefits
