Meet our partner,

Picnic Technologies

Proud Librae partner since 2024

By promoting diversity in STEM and uplifting women in engineering, we’re not just creating opportunities — we’re unlocking innovation, because the next world-changing idea can come from anyone.

Picnic Mission

At Picnic, we’re building the modern supermarket –  delivering groceries to millions of people across three countries. And we’re one of the only companies in the world to do it all by ourselves. From our fully automated warehouse to our delivery algorithms – it’s all built by our own people. We find it gives us more freedom when it comes to trying out new and innovative ideas!  

To do this, we need ambitious, entrepreneurial and creative people who are up for a challenge. We’re looking for problem-solvers who thrive in a collaborative environment. We are open to junior and experienced software, data and ML engineers. Our diverse team welcomes every innovative and bold idea.

Diversity Statement

While we celebrate our 10-year anniversary this year, we are not slowing down. Picnic is constantly evolving to better itself. A proof of this is our commitment to welcoming and fostering women in STEM. With women currently representing 20% of our engineering force, we are aiming to increase this representation to 25%.

  • Astrid van der Jagt

    Software Developer in the Planning Systems team 
    Computer science

    Astrid has studied Computing Science at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, with a focus on the mathematical foundation - the logic & algorithms. She loves the theoretical problems, and is happy that within Picnic she gets to combine it with the super practical ones! Her favorite part of her job is seeing how it impacts the trip planning everyday. From making sure that products fit together in bags to planning efficient routes to our customers, they all are technical puzzles in their core. And what is better than a good puzzle?

  • Lindsay Kempen

    Senior Software Engineer
    Computer science & Data science 

    Lindsay loves solving abstract problems that lead to physical results. At Picnic, her code orchestrates automated warehouses; moving kilometers of conveyor belts to get your groceries to you. Her favorite challenge was optimizing an NP-complete problem to keep your milk from smashing your bread! 

     

    Her studies (BSc Computer Science & MSc Data Science, University of Twente, cum laude) and a Google Anita Borg scholarship ignited her passion for empowering women in tech. That led her to taking on leadership roles, founding an escape room to promote CS to young girls, and now mentor a female junior at Picnic — the same position she held just two years ago. 

    In her free time she loves bouldering; another way to solve puzzles in a physical world!
