Role

Who you are

For this high-impact role we’d expect you to have 5+ years of experience of modern frontend development
You value craft and care about getting the detail right when building modern user interfaces
You are comfortable making design decisions based on the broader product direction
You’re comfortable working without a dedicated product manager, closely collaborating with design and using your product intuition to come up with solutions
You can get hands-on in a startup environment. We’re still a small team so you’ll probably be involved in everything to a degree, and we encourage going out to do deliveries or work in our hub once every few months in the team to experience what our drivers and hub staff experience
You care about the team and culture we are building, and understand the importance of giving feedback and supporting others around you

What the job involves

Use your product mindset to understand the needs of all our users and come up with solutions
Work on the backend when needed, contributing to our systems and building APIs, but also be comfortable jumping onto frontend code from time to time
Share your opinions on designs, goals, operational problems, hiring, etc. and give feedback to others to help us do the best we can
Occasionally go out with drivers to do deliveries or handle packages in the depot, to get an end-to-end understanding of the problems we're trying to solve
Input into other areas of the business that interest you, whether that's helping sales, refining our operations, or anything else

Application process

1. Initial Call with a Cofounder (30m)
2. Take-home Task (2h)
3. Task Review Call (30m)
4. System Design Interview (1h)
5. On-site Interviews (2h)

Salary benchmarks

Our take

Whilst it has never been simpler to start and run an eCommerce business, current courier and logistic solutions still lag behind, and often hinder growth.

Packfleet is addressing this issue for small to medium-sized companies by re-designing the delivery process. Its service saves customers money, time, and stress with app-based tracking, seamless interactions, and next-day delivery, all with a simple, transparent pricing structure.

There is considerable opportunity within the £6bn UK parcel market, as eCommerce continues to rise in popularity. Packfleet is currently operating exclusively within London. They will be using their recent funding to expand their customer base and develop their product.
