Description
Who We Are:
Our story began in 2011 when a group of office workers at a major logistics company in Chicago had a lunch problem. Nearby options were limited, and the team was spending too much time and money traveling to their favorite restaurants. They had an idea: bring Chicago’s local restaurant culture inside the office to sell food. It was an immediate hit. When they discovered people from other companies sneaking into their office, they knew they were on to something.
Fooda pioneered the concept of rotating popup restaurants inside offices. Today, we operate in 60 cities with over 100 million meals served and continue to grow rapidly.
Powered by technology and a network of 1500+ restaurants, we feed hungry people at work through a platform of unique food programs located within companies, office buildings, hospitals, schools, distribution centers, and more. At Fooda, we believe a workplace food program should be something employees love and look forward to every day.
Who You Are:
The DevOps Engineer responsible for managing, optimizing, and securing cloud-based infrastructure and services across AWS environments. This role focuses on system reliability, scalability, security improvements, and operational efficiency while supporting engineering and product teams. This role is a hybrid setting located in our Chicago office.
What You Will Be Doing:
Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture
What We’ll Hook You Up With:
Must be authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. No recruiters please.
The salary range for this role is $160,000- $185,000. The salary is dependent on a number of factors, included but not limited to work experience, training, location, and skills.
