Job Description

Instacart is a prominent technology-driven grocery delivery and pick-up service operating in the United States and Canada. It connects customers with personal shoppers who pick and deliver groceries from local stores to the customers' doorstep, facilitating convenient shopping experiences. Founded with the mission to transform grocery shopping and make food access easier, Instacart employs a network of independent contractors known as shoppers who work flexibly and are essential to the company's operations.
