What the job involves
- As a Staff Software Engineer on the New Initiatives team at Veho, you will be shaping the future of our business by shipping software that explores the boundaries of what is possible in the logistics industry today and enables Veho to launch new products and market segments
- The new initiatives team operates like a startup within a startup. You will be required to move fast, ship to production often, work cross-functionally across multiple teams and push through any obstacles that might show up to ship software that delights the brands that work with Veho and the consumers that receive the packages
- Architect, build, test, deploy, and operationally own applications and services that enable business outcomes for clients
- Own, modify, and scale design and specifications for complex applications
- Provide technical leadership to the rest of the team for the projects you champion
- Work cross-functionally and inspire your peers to get work done
- Contribute to and develop
- Be a good citizen of Veho Engineering and help us build a championship team
- Integrate Veho’s platform with leading e-commerce and shipping platforms

- Focus on reverse logistics (and creating value-added offerings to enable seamless returns for consumers)
- Partner with the data team to build the right dashboards to track the effectiveness of initiatives
Our take
Over 2M online merchant ship over 165B packages to doorsteps across the United States every year. Every one of those deliveries represents a potential difference between happy customers willing to purchase again and refer friends, and a WISMO ("where is my order?!") catastrophe.
Veho is seeking to turn those deliveries from a risk into an opportunity for online brands. The next-day delivery platform leverages a gig economy workforce and its modern communication platform to create a greatly improved last-mile logistics experience for brands and their customers.
Now that the company has been able to build out an impressive technology platform - think optimized routes and driver-customer communication channels - it is now seeking major geographic expansion.
The company is facing competition from both traditional delivery companies like FedEx as well as newer venture-backed attempts to disrupt the space like Deliverr. However, its already impressive economies of scale and customer experience means it is well positioned to dominate the market in the coming years.
