QA Engineer

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, have served over 100 million meals, and continue to grow rapidly. Powered by technology and a network of 1,500+ 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.RequirementsSummary:The QA Engineer is a trusted, self-directed professional who ensures product quality throughout the development lifecycle.
