About Hungryroot
What is Hungryroot?
Hungryroot is using AI to build the most consumer-centric food and wellness company ever. The product "acts as your personal assistant for healthy living — delivering groceries, easy recipes, and essential supplements tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and budget." In the careers page's words: "It's the easiest way to eat better, save time, and live healthier."
The team frames the mission directly: "we're building a future in which healthy living is both easy and enjoyable." Hungryroot has been recognised for its product engineering chops — a Sr. Director of Product Management testimonial on the careers page sums up the impact: "At Hungryroot, we don't just ship features, we drive real outcomes. Our funnel experiments led to a 20% YoY lift in acquisition, and we continue to reimagine our core shopping experience to make it easier (and more engaging) for customers to find favorites and discover new items."
Where will I work?
Hungryroot is remote-first with team members across 28+ U.S. states and a New York City headquarters. The company calls out the work-arrangement flexibility in JDs: "work from home, work from our NYC office, work from anywhere in the U.S. — you decide!" The remote-first culture emphasises collaboration, team-building, and flexibility — including regular virtual team events and an annual company retreat ("Camp") "to celebrate our successes each year."
What is the Hungryroot team like?
Hungryroot describes itself as "powered by teamwork — constantly sharing knowledge and accomplishing big things together." The values are ownership, transparency, and connection — wherever you work. Team voices on the careers page emphasise the personal-growth opportunity: "From learning data languages like SQL and Python to gaining insight into how the business runs, knowledge has always been openly shared." (Tai Qazi, 7 years at Hungryroot). Roles span engineering (Deployed Software Engineer with agentic-AI workflows, Lead Product Manager for Inventory & Fulfillment Systems), procurement, marketing, and operations.
Salary ranges are explicitly disclosed in every JD — for example, $134K–$168K for the Deployed Software Engineer role.
