Role

Who you are

You are the Swiss army knife of backend software development and technical execution, with the ability to break down product requirements into implementable technical features
5+ years of software development experience in backend technologies and in recent years working with Python and FastAPI
Great experience with Kubernetes
Experience with web-scraping technologies and data architecture
Familiar with principles of APIs, stateful web (single page) applications, developer platforms (Git, Heroku)
Experience designing data persistence and caching concepts using SQL and NoSQL DBMS (e.g. PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
A solid understanding of how to design, develop, test, and monitor production-ready data-intensive systems
Entrepreneurial / startup experience, willing to learn and help build a tech stack from scratch
Strong knowledge of the agile software development lifecycle and continuous integration

What the job involves

We’re looking for a versatile Backend Engineer to join our team!
Work in collaboration with product and design to use cutting-edge and custom technologies to imagine, build and launch a breakthrough product that disrupts the market
Implement new features in a highly collaborative environment with product managers, customer strategists and fellow engineers
Create responsive, mobile friendly and beautiful web applications
Implement software engineering best practices (e.g. Agile software development, test-driven development, unit testing, code reviews, design documentation, etc.) enabling the product and team to scale
Build APIs, designing data models, maintaining backend code, and scaling production systems

Our take

For many e-commerce customers, the post-purchase experience can be opaque and frustrating. Karla is challenging this by providing integrated, seamless and transparent delivery for e-commerce retailers.

Karla is headed up by a former BCG partner, and one of Scorable's founding team. This is part of the reason that the startup has gained impressive momentum among customers and backers alike. Its app taps into the growing demand among consumers for increased communication and efficiency throughout the delivery process.

The company faces competition from the likes of Parcello and Parcellab. But Karla differentiates itself by connecting its software directly to online shops and leveraging existing delivery operators and couriers. This will be important if the company wants to draw customers away from its more established rivals.
