Packfleet is revolutionizing the UK delivery landscape by empowering independent businesses with cutting-edge delivery solutions. As a Product Engineer Intern, you'll join a dynamic team of 7 engineers working with a modern tech stack including TypeScript, Rust, and Kubernetes.
The role offers a unique opportunity to work on real-world problems that directly impact various users - from merchants using the dashboard to consumers tracking deliveries, and drivers utilizing the routing app. You'll be paired with a team member who will mentor you throughout the summer, helping you design and implement impactful solutions.
The tech stack is thoughtfully chosen, using TypeScript for developer productivity and Rust for performance-critical components. The infrastructure runs on Google Cloud Platform with GKE, employing continuous deployment through Github Actions. The team follows a "well-sized services" approach, allowing for flexible technology choices while maintaining system manageability.
Working in a hybrid environment from their Bermondsey, London office, you'll experience the full spectrum of startup life. The position offers competitive compensation (£40,000 pro-rata), along with unique benefits like monthly Recharge Days for team activities and a budget for supporting local merchants.
The ideal candidate should be passionate about technology and building great user experiences, with some background in backend or frontend development. This internship provides an excellent opportunity to learn from experienced professionals across engineering, operations, and sales, while contributing to a mission-driven company that's transforming the delivery industry.
The company strongly values diversity and encourages applications from underrepresented groups, believing that a diverse team is essential for solving problems for people across the UK and, eventually, around the world. This is more than just an internship - it's a chance to be part of a transformative journey in the logistics industry while developing your engineering skills in a supportive, growth-oriented environment.
