As a Senior Software Engineer at Grove Collaborative, you will design, build, and extend services and data models that power Grove’s eCommerce experience; order flows, inventory & fulfillment, catalog, and subscriptions. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally and with other engineers to deliver reliable, scalable, observable systems that enable Grove to create a delightful eCommerce experience on top of Shopify.

  • Review code, provide technical guidance to other platform engineers
  • Operate services on our AWS & Kubernetes platform: containerize apps, configure resources, perform safe rollouts, and debug issues using established tooling and practices.
  • Ship confidently via our CI/CD (GitHub Actions): keep pipelines green, improve tests for the services you own, and follow existing release workflows for safe, frequent deploys.
  • Design and implement architecture in a number of technologies but primarily in Python/Django with PostgreSQL

  • API design expertise (GraphQL and/or REST), schema design, and performance/observability considerations
  • Experience operating services in AWS and Kubernetes, and shipping via GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD
  • Strong ownership and product sense: you care about outcomes, not just code, and you iterate quickly with stakeholders
  • Thoughtful communicator who thrives in a collaborative, fast‑paced environment, and aligns with Grove’s mission and sustainability values

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
