Edacious
About Edacious
Edacious is a fast-moving, science-forward technology company on a mission to change how we understand and value food. We believe nutrient density is the missing link between our agriculture system and human health—and we’re here to define it and make it matter.
Our tools combine lab science, software, and storytelling to help brands, farmers, researchers, and food system leaders evaluate and communicate the quality of their food. We’re building a nutrition intelligence platform to transform food labeling, procurement, and policy. If we’re successful, better food becomes more valuable and more available—at scale.
We’re a small, values-driven team with top-tier investors, big ambitions, and an unusual interdisciplinary approach. You’ll be surrounded by scientists, systems thinkers, designers, and operators working shoulder-to-shoulder to build something bold and necessary.
Role Overview We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our growing software team. You will work to design and build scalable, high-performance software. As a key team member, you will help build the company and culture and help us achieve product market fit.
Join our software team where getting things done doesn\u2019t mean sacrificing your sanity. We\u2019ve built a relaxed culture free from unnecessary drama—just talented engineers collaborating on meaningful work. Our tech stack is battle-tested and mature, so you can focus on solving real problems. We work hard when it counts, work smart with Claude Code, respect work-life boundaries, and believe the best code comes from teams that actually enjoy working together. If you\u2019re tired of ego-driven environments and want to build great software with people who keep things professional yet personable, we should talk.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing startup and have a meaningful impact on the food system and our success. We want to hear from you!

The science team is onsite daily, while the product team is remote. You’ll be expected to travel to company events (usually in New England) once or twice a year plus conferences with the commercial team.
