Sendle helps small business thrive by making parcel delivery simple, reliable and affordable. We’re a B Corp and Australia’s first 100% carbon neutral delivery service, harnessing major courier networks to create a simple, user-friendly service that levels the playing field for small businesses.
Sendle is a fast growing business with bold ambitions, a team full of passion, a team of self-confessed nerds and general geeks. Our work has an impact; by powering eCommerce logistics, our software is helping real world businesses deliver real parcels to their customers; this is more than just records in a database.
Off the back of strong growth in Australia we’re now setting our sights on expanding into the US and more, so this is an opportunity to work in a high-growth startup with a solid foundation and be part of an amazing team.
We are a 100% remote engineering team and have been since the beginning, with members all around Australia. We get together for team meetups in Sydney every few months, between that you can work from anywhere that suits you. Sendle is a trusting and flexible work place so is a great fit for engineers who feel it’s results that matter not time spent at the keyboard.
Engineers will work in cross-functional teams with designers, customer support, marketing and logistics experts. At Sendle you might work on projects such as integrating our dashboard with a eCommerce platform, improving the way customers manage their parcels in the Sendle dashboard, or integrating and connecting courier networks in innovative ways.
Technologies
We use Ruby and Elixir on the backend, React and Redux on the front end and love Postgres.
We use an automated, pull request based, continuous integration workflow. Every pull request is automatically deployed to its own testing environment so getting feedback on your work is quick and easy. All pull requests are reviewed by other engineers, so there’s always an opportunity to get deep feedback on different technologies from different developers.
All developers can deploy to production and we do so several times a day.
