What the job involves

We’re growing fast and are looking for a Lead Software Engineer to help scale our platform, mentor a growing engineering team, and help drive innovation in logistics and AI/ML-powered automation

Lead feature delivery from start to finish — scoping, implementation, review, and deployment
Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Data to bring ideas to life

Work on applied AI/ML features like intelligent provider selection, refund automation, and order prediction
Help shape Burq’s technical roadmap and contribute to a high-performance engineering culture

Our take

For many B2C businesses, surviving today means meeting the on-demand delivery needs of consumers - something that can be difficult to achieve as a small business. Whilst last-mile delivery warehouses save small businesses from having to build their own delivery infrastructure, working exclusively with a single provider can greatly limit delivery options and stall a company's growth.

Burq provides an on-demand B2C delivery service platform which allows businesses to access multiple delivery providers for same-day delivery. The platform integrates directly with major sales platforms such as Zapier and Shopify, offering an analytic dashboard and delivery tracker across different modes of transport and providers.

Taking advantage of the expanding last-mile delivery sector, Burq has scaled its operations, swiftly building a thriving customer base in the small retailer and startup sectors. Having received funding from investors such as Village Global, it continues to launch new features and gain recognition as a partner for business growth.
