Mid/Senior Full-Stack Engineer

Yhangry (W22) is a marketplace for private chefs.

Yhangry is like Airbnb, but for finding a chef to cook for an event: Their birthday, a hen party or a family Christmas gathering.

We’re changing the lives of chefs:

1. Chefs earn 3x more than working in a restaurant, whilst working fewer hours. E.g. Chefs working 60 hours per week can maintain the same income by just doing 1-2 private dining events per week.
2. Chefs set their own prices, create their own menus - they get to cook what they love.

We are backed by Y Combinator (just like Airbnb, Coinbase, and other unicorns) and featured on Dragons’ Den.
