  • No location or timezone policy stated, so a candidate cannot tell where they may work from. Scope clarity

The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

Fig is hiring its founding engineer.
Fig builds software for industrial ingredient processors, the companies between farmers and the food brands you buy. Most of them still run on paper binders: production schedules, sanitation checks, quality logs. Tech has mostly ignored them.
This is a high-ownership seat. You'll work directly with the founders, who come from food, to build a platform that pulls together fragmented food-industry data, then the AI layer on top of it. Think Glean for the food industry. Customers who signed on as design partners a year ago are still here and still shape the roadmap.
Stack: Kotlin, React, TypeScript, GCP, Postgres, Terraform.
