Backend Developer - Node.js

About us

In 2022, Instabee was founded after combining Budbee and Instabox - two leading last-mile delivery companies with three consumer-facing brands: Budbee, Instabox, and Porterbuddy. Instabee serves millions of consumers across Europe with convenient deliveries and is on track to become the leading European e-commerce enabler. Always with the consumer at heart.

We’re fast, both in terms of parcel delivery and when it comes to growing our business. So far our journey has taken us from Sweden to the rest of Scandinavia and parts of continental Europe, but we have no plans on stopping anytime soon. As we continue to expand, the complexity of Instabee grows in parallel. With that in mind, we’re now looking for you to help us on the journey ahead.

Some of the things you’ll do:

As a Backend Developer at Instabee, you'll be working in an agile cross-functional team with a clear mission and problem space to solve. All of our teams are highly collaborative and we’re looking for people who thrive on working closely with other engineers to solve hard problems. Together with stakeholders and product managers, you'll design APIs and create applications that are used by all branches within the company and our customers.

Our engineers make some of the most important decisions for the company and our products. We’re looking for people who enjoy learning, sharing, and working with other developers to solve new and interesting problems. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to exercise real ownership of the services that are owned by your team.

When you join us, you’ll have a part in deciding the technologies that we use. From day one you’ll get to work with:

- Node.js

- MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis

- Terraform

- GCP/GKE

Your future team

We are currently seeking skilled Node.js developers to join two dynamic teams:

Integration Services Team:
Join our Integration Services team where you will play a crucial role in driving our product offerings to merchants. Collaborate with the sales team to define pricing models and ensure our merchants have the essential tools for their daily operations.

App Experience Team:
Become a part of our App Experience team, dedicated to crafting a seamless and satisfactory user experience for our consumers. Understand the needs of our users and contribute to building tools that support and enhance their interaction with our products.

Does one of the teams sound more appealing to you?

What We're Looking For

At Instabee we value individuals who are keen to learn, and your eagerness to develop your own skillset will undoubtedly be your strongest asset when joining us. If you're a skilled problem solver who loves coding and making complex things work, then this is the place for you. Beyond that we imagine that you have some of the following points on your resumé:

- +3 years experience in a backend or fullstack role in a modern Tech environment

- Experience with JavaScript/Node.js

- PostgreSQL and/or MongoDB experience (or equivalent database technologies)

- Basic understanding of Terraform and Debian/Ubuntu (any Linux distro would apply)

If this is you then we can’t wait to meet you!

What you’ll get

We can promise you that you will be challenged, develop your skills and have the opportunity to work with truly amazing and competent colleagues. If you like changes and want to set new processes and ways of working - this is the place for you!
