The company for whom I work, MyWebGrocer, is hiring new employees. It is a
company of 250 employees in Burlington, Vermont and focuses on a "complete
Digital Experience Platform for grocers and Consumer Packaged Goods brands".
In other words, we create APIs and web platforms for grocery retailers
(e.g. Giant or Safeway) to sell groceries online for pickup or delivery.
It's a highly complex system that you'd get to be involved in every part
of. I'm a Software Engineer here that came in with no knowledge of C# or
the .Net stack, no industry experience with databases, and little
experience with the grocery industry. In just a few months, I feel like I
am excelling and thoroughly enjoying the work I do here. The company is
small enough to gain loads of truly full-stack experience, and the
community here is family-friendly and close-knit, with many company
sponsored teams (ski team! softball!) to keep you outside. I really love
living in Vermont.. If you're into the outdoors, especially skiing and
hiking, and like to drink the best craft beer in the world, then this is
the place for you.

Anyhow, here's a blurb from the company that I kind of understand:

"MyWebGrocer offers the only complete Digital Experience Platform for
grocers and Consumer Packaged Goods brands. The platform powers every
interaction to engage, transact and retain grocery shoppers through digital
offerings ranging from planning and shopping platforms to mobile and social
tools. The company also offers opportunities for consumer packaged goods
brands looking to reach consumers with relevant advertising, promotions and
offers throughout their grocery path to purchase.  Founded in 1999,
MyWebGrocer manages digital solutions for more than 130 retailers across
the globe, representing more than 10,000 stores, and 500+ major consumer
packaged goods brands.  To learn more about our great career opportunities
at MWG and living in the beautiful State of Vermont, check out our website

Here are some of the open positions:

(Don't be worried by any of the stricter 'requirements' about .Net or SQL
or anything else; in my experience they will hire you if you can learn, and
they have liked that about Swatties..)


Don't be afraid to reach out to me if you have any questions or want a
referral. I'm happy to refer any Swattie, and I know MWG has been impressed
with Swat students so far and will try to prioritize interviews.. :)

Good luck!
