Backend Developer - Golang

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 Backend Developers to help us on the journey ahead.

Your future team:

You’ll be part of an agile autonomous team working on extending and refining our core systems. Our teams solve a wide array of complex problems, below is one example.

Sorting - The team is responsible for all the technical products used in our terminals. The platform provides support for sorting Instabox, Budbee and Porterbuddy parcels to all of our customers across 5 countries. Our goal is to create the most efficient distribution while maintaining the high standards set by our customers.

Our teams have full ownership of their systems and development processes. You’ll get to impact how we build and develop our services - and with what technology. We aim to foster highly collaborative teams and we’re looking for people who enjoy learning, sharing, and working with other developers to solve new and interesting problems.
