Senior Software Engineer
We usually respond within a week
All Gravy is the all-in-one employee app designed for front-line, hospitality, and retail workers. 🥞
The next generation of employees are used to apps like Instagram, TikTok and Spotify in their personal lives but when they go to work at a restaurant chain or retail store, they're met with software created before they were born. All Gravy is changing that. We're modernising the tools for frontline employees and transforming the experience into one that is engaging and motivating; making their lives easier from getting paid to developing their careers. We innovate on the whole employee journey: from being recruited, onboarded, and growing skills, to knowing when to work and connecting with co-workers. We already work with some of the most exciting brands in Northern Europe - Gail's, L’Osteria, Pizza Pilgrims, Honest Burgers, Ottolenghi, Dishoom, Q8, 7-Eleven, and Best Western.
We've grown 300% over the last year and are now accelerating our expansion further into new markets. Our team spans a wide range of nationalities and backgrounds, united by one mission: to shape the future for shift and gig workers everywhere. We're passionate, hard-working, and just getting started the best is genuinely yet to come. If you want to do meaningful work, move fast, and be part of a team that's changing an entire industry, we'd love to have you on board. 🚀
🤩 About the role
We are looking for an ambitious Senior Software Engineer who will be a pivotal member of building and scaling the most critical parts of our product. You will join our Workforce Management team, focused on the operational backbone that powers how our customers schedule, staff, and run their businesses every day. Workforce Management is at the heart of the All Gravy product, covering scheduling and shift management, time tracking, labour forecasting, and compliance. As a technical leader within the WFM domain, you will mentor other engineers, lead thorough code reviews, and drive best practices for performance, reliability, and code quality.
🎯 What You Will Do
The ideal candidate possesses a versatile skill set, demonstrating capability across the entire spectrum of software development at All Gravy, coupled with an appetite for owning a domain with real operational weight behind it.
Full-Stack Development: You will take ownership of features across the full application stack for the Workforce Management product, from the manager and employee-facing interfaces where schedules are built and shifts are picked up, to the robust, scalable back-end services and data layers that power them.
Domain Ownership: Design, build, and maintain the systems that underpin scheduling, time & attendance, labor cost management, and related workflows. WFM is a domain with real operational complexity (multi-location businesses, regional labor regulations, unpredictable demand), and you'll help us turn that complexity into an elegant product experience.
Cross-Team Collaboration: While dedicated to the Workforce Management team, you will work closely with Platform, Learning, and other product teams to ensure WFM integrates harmoniously with the rest of All Gravy's ecosystem, and contribute to shared standards and architectural decisions.
Mentorship and Leadership: Act as a technical leader within the WFM domain, providing guidance and mentorship to other engineers, conducting thorough code reviews, and driving best practices for performance, reliability, and code quality.
We have a full-fledged TypeScript-based tech stack in All Gravy which means our current developer team seamlessly switches between development tasks.
All Gravy is undergoing high growth hence the job and responsibilities will develop over time, and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to learn and grow.
🙌 You'll thrive here if you
We are looking for exceptional people with great energy and a good sense of humour. The ideal candidate will love to think about how to solve problems in an elegant way, however, given the pace we're operating at, will also be able to sometimes make pragmatic decisions.
You should enjoy working in the dynamic startup environment, like to initiate new projects but also get them over the line. We look for employees who like being part of a team, are real team players, and have a mindset of learning & growing.
5+ years of proven full-stack experience across React, React Native, modern JavaScript/TypeScript, and Node.js backend development.
Deep comfort working in domains where correctness matters schedules affect real people's lives and paychecks, and you think carefully about edge cases, data integrity, and user trust.
Ability to design and architect highly available, fault-tolerant, and scalable distributed systems.
Genuinely AI-native you can demonstrate concrete ways you have integrated AI tools into how you ship code, and you actively contribute to how your wider team adopts and improves its AI-assisted ways of working.
Experience working in complex operational domains such as scheduling, payroll, logistics, or ops tooling is a plus.
Fluent English, spoken and written.
Available during core Central European working hours, whether from our Copenhagen or London office or remotely.
An advantage if you have experience in:
NestJS
MongoDB

What is All Gravy?
We are modernising the tools for frontline employees and transforming the experience into one that is engaging and motivating; making their lives easier - from getting paid to developing their careers. We’re innovating on the whole employee journey: from being recruited, onboarded, growing skills and connecting with co-workers – all in one app.
Employers get a swiss-army-software to attract, motivate & retain their employees - rather than having to invest in 5 different pieces of software that are not fit for purpose.
About All Gravy
All Gravy is an HR-tech scaleup on a mission to make work fun again - for hourly employees in hospitality and retail.
The All Gravy app connects everything between employees and employers — from preboarding and onboarding to scheduling, communication, learning, surveys, and even pay access. It feels like the tools people already use in daily life: Duolingo, Messenger, WhatsApp.
Employers get a single platform that motivates and retains staff, instead of juggling five outdated systems. And with built-in AI, staff can get instant answers on things like recipes, shifts, or time off — without pinging HR.
We’re building All Gravy together with leading brands like Dishoom, Wahaca, Ottolenghi, Pizza Pilgrims, and Honest Burgers.
