Primary Purpose
We're on a mission to create a future where human-centricity is the heartbeat of the leading local food shopping experience, with the belief that every business problem is a human problem.

Become a member of our growing UX/UI practice and immerse yourself in the world of human-centric design. As a UX/UI Designer, you'll draw on your expertise in research, design thinking, service design, information architecture, interaction design and visual design to enhance holistic experiences across a portfolio of enterprise products and services.

People will be at the center of your everyday work. By engaging with users and collaborating closely with stakeholders, your ability to listen, empathize, and advocate for their needs will be the driving force behind satisfying end-user experiences.

In this role, you'll embark on a journey of discovery, framing problems with your creative and analytical thinking. You'll utilize research, data, and industry best practices to make strategic design decisions. You will deeply understand and champion the needs of our end users - people.

If you're a born detective with design chops for days, a storyteller, an end-to-end thinker, a problem-solver who can untangle complexity to create something that works, then we can't wait to meet you.

Our flexible/ hybrid work schedule includes 3 in-person days at one of our core locations and 2 remote days. Our core office locations include Salisbury, NC , Chicago, IL, Quincy, MA, Carlisle, PA, Scarborough, ME, and Hyattsville, MD.
