Christchurch, New Zealand Appetise Full time

At **Appetise**, we’re on a mission to revolutionise the way food companies understand their shoppers. Imagine being the first company in the world to track not just _what_ people buy, but _why_ and _when_ they choose certain products. That’s what we do. We’re pioneering a brand-new approach called **Share of Occasion**, giving food brands real-time insights into consumer behaviour, backed by data no one else has access to.

For years, market research has been slow, expensive, and out of reach for many. Only the biggest food companies with large budgets could afford to get insights on shopper habits. We’re changing that. Our data isn’t just about who’s buying what—it’s about the real motivations behind those choices, from grocery planning to product usage. This is a game-changer for marketers in the food industry, empowering them to make smarter, faster decisions that directly drive growth.

We’re disrupting the market by bringing these insights to life through our shoppable recipe platform, already loved by over 60,000 households in New Zealand and Australia. Think of it as the ultimate meal-planning tool, where consumers find their perfect recipes and brands get invaluable data on consumer choices.

**Why does this matter?** Because we’re unlocking insights that food brands have never had before—showing them their true competition, and helping them stay ahead by deeply understanding their customers’ needs and habits. With Appetise, every meal becomes a chance to gain an edge.

We’re a growing, passionate team of 20, and with big ambitions for 2025 and beyond, we’re looking to add new talent to help us pull off this bold vision. Our partners, consumers, and investors are all behind us, and we’re ready to make waves globally.

If you’re ready to join a company that’s breaking new ground in the world of consumer insights, we’d love to meet you.

**Requirements**:
We’re looking for a Data Engineering and we’re open to different levels of experience and ability in this role. As a member of our Supermarket Squad you will play a key part scraping the data we need for our supermarket database across multiple countries. You’ll help us elevate our scraping monitoring and through that it’s reliability. You’ll build the data systems that transform this and provide it to other products & squads.

- You must have 2 or more years doing Data Engineering (we use Snowflake).

- You have strong communication skills and love to seek and accept feedback.
- You love to understand our customers directly and advocate for them.
- You build for simplicity, keeping things flexible and you’re able to pivot focus as we need to.
- You love to iterate quickly and launch changes often.
- You can deal with the uncertainties and dynamics of a start-up, but this gives you a lot of freedom and the opportunity to contribute your own ideas.

**The team**:
As a key member of our ~10 person technology team, you'll have the opportunity to directly contribute to revolutionising the way our customers shop for food, and how our brands use the data. You’ll be working on both our existing product and new products that we bring to market.

**What’s the technology teams roadmap**:

- We launched an Insights Application to enable brands to get to know their customers and thats offered to our 70+ Brands.
- We’re building new data architecture for both Insights and Product data used by both our B2B and B2C customer apps.
- We're excited to plan what's next involving Consumer features, Insights and AI work.

- Our Application Engineers build on: Vue, Blade, Laravel, Tailwind, and Bootstrap.
- Our Application Engineers use a combination of the Laravel ecosystem: Laravel Breeze, Vapor, Nova, and open to exploring others.
- Our Data Engineers build on Snowflake.
- We’re exploring use of AI and Analytics tools to be integrated across our products.

You’ll report to Steve, our Head of Engineering.
