Senior Backend Engineer

Packfleet, a innovative logistics company, is revolutionizing UK deliveries with cutting-edge technology and customer-centric solutions. We're seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join our dynamic team in a hybrid work environment based in London.

Since 2021, we've developed comprehensive systems powering end-to-end delivery operations, from e-commerce integrations to vehicle routing. Our tech stack includes TypeScript, Node.js, Rust, and PostgreSQL, running on Google Cloud Platform with Kubernetes. We're building scalable solutions that handle thousands of deliveries daily, using modern technologies and embracing AI/LLM tools to enhance productivity.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll have significant impact in shaping our technical direction and product development. We operate without traditional product managers, emphasizing engineer-driven decision making and rapid deployment. You'll work closely with a talented team from companies like Monzo, Citymapper, and Amazon, solving complex logistics challenges while maintaining a strong focus on user experience.

The role offers excellent growth opportunities with a competitive package including £90,000-£120,000 salary, equity, comprehensive health benefits, and professional development support. We value diversity and encourage applications from all backgrounds, aiming to build a team that represents the communities we serve.

This position requires 5+ years of backend development experience, with a focus on building scalable systems. You'll need to be comfortable making architectural decisions, working autonomously, and occasionally experiencing front-line operations to better understand our challenges. Join us in transforming the future of delivery services with modern technology and exceptional customer experience.
