H-E-B Digital, a brand new food tech startup from iconic Texas retailer H-E-B, is seeking new members (Partners)! We plan on investing heavily in our customers’ digital experience, reinventing how they find inspiration from food, how they make food decisions, and how they ultimately get food into their homes.

H-E-B Digital will be co-located in San Antonio and Austin, which will share space with Favor - recently acquired by H-E-B, and now ranked no. 138 on the Inc. 5000 list (in addition, ranked 5th in Texas and 1st in Austin!). Our top leaders have deep consumer tech experience.  We're hiring for every other role on this new team: product management, product marketing, design (product/ UX / visual), user research, proto-typing, and engineering.  

 

The Product & Design Team is on a mission to design and build the absolute best software and experience in the food / retail space while driving exceptional business results. We mix user centric design with business savvy, focusing on two key user segments:

  • Consumers: a compelling digital experience that captures everything inspiring about food, while delivering incredible convenience and simplifying the grocery experience to be nothing short of delightful.
  • H-E-B Partners: we arm H-E-B partners across the company with world class business applications and tools to thrive in their jobs so together we can ensure that the customer experience is top notch online, in-store, or anywhere else.

  • Relentlessly champion the user while defining user experience opportunities and identifying use cases.
  • Identify usability issues for upcoming feature releases and collaboratively align on a solution.

  • Analyze engagement metrics on in-flight pilots, and rapidly iterate the design with an eye towards constant improvement.
  • Partner with UI engineers to test new features and identify bugs prior to deploying to production.
  • Be the fountain of knowledge - keep the company in sync with user experience findings and the novel design approaches you’re pushing forward, actively doling out little nuggets of insights at just the right time .
