Our customers adore our products, and we get to sample some of the best coffees on the planet while we’re busy making those customers happy.

We are looking to add a creative, articulate, detail-oriented Assistant Coffee Curator to our team. This position will report directly to the Director of Coffee, and help us to source, curate, catalog and describe new coffees from our ever-growing network of Specialty Coffee roasters.

The Assistant Coffee Curator will contribute to a broad range of work, including:

Helping us discover, evaluate, and onboard new coffee roasting partners
Maintaining an accurate database of coffees, taste profiles, and cost data
Tasting new coffees and assessing their quality
Writing coffee descriptions that are accurate, accessible, and carry our brand voice
Curating coffees into our tasting box products
Helping us forecast and order coffees for our busy production schedule
Preparing coffee for tastings and maintaining brewing equipment

Previous experience as a barista or Q Grader is preferred. All applicants should be well-versed in cupping coffees and able to assess a coffee’s quality, roast level, general likability, and tasting notes. In addition, applicants must be strong writers, and will be required to submit examples of written work. Specifically, we’re looking for coffee professionals who are excited about sharing their knowledge with a broader audience, in an accessible, engaging, and creative way. This will be an office-based position and applicants must be local to Seattle.

This is an excellent opportunity to build and refine a set of skills unique to the industry, and to grow your career as the appetite for Specialty Coffee continues to surge nationwide.

Software Engineer(s)

Got scale? Got scope? Find yours with us, and help us build big.

Technology is our edge, our leverage, and the fabric that helps us always do better by our customers. We're looking for one senior, and one mid-level engineer who can help us scale our engineering efforts, from front-end commerce to mobile apps to back end inventory management, process automation, and product fulfillment.

Software Engineers will report to and work with the Director of Engineering to help unlock our next phase of growth. Here's what prospective applicants need to understand before applying:

Ours is a high-growth, startup-y environment (read: lots of change, lots of challenge).
With very few exceptions, we prefer building our own systems to piecing together third-party software.
We ALL have our hands “in the works” of the business and can make material impacts every day (read: tons of leverage).
Our work is full-stack+++
On the back end, all of our processes are enabled by our software: from sourcing to receiving to manufacture to material flow to inventory to fulfillment.
Main areas of code work are e-commerce Web site, iOS and Android apps, our subscription engine, warehouse automation and process systems, and a very wide range of backend tools.
Technical soup includes Debian, Rails, JavaScript, MySQL, Elastic, Redis, GCP for infrastructure, Git, etc. Smatterings of Java, Swift, and Objective-C as needed.
Integrations include Stripe, Shippo, Twilio, Klaviyo, Amazon, and a bunch of others.
No religion in terms of process, methodology, language, platform, frameworks, etc. Philosophy is do what works, and move fast.
Ownership of what we build (and how we build it) is all-encompassing: no PMs, QA teams, product, program or project managers; just our small team and our ability to drive results for our customers and our business.

Applicants should be experienced generalists, with a wide range of experience, ideally e-commerce related, in their quiver. They should also be capable of high throughput with little management overhead. This is a tremendous opportunity to help build a meaningful consumer brand and business, with the added perk of conducting joyful engineering every step of the way.

Qualified applicants are encouraged to send their resume to jobs at bean box dot com.
