Lead Senior Software Engineer

About us
We are a startup company in the Mid and Final Mile Logistics industry. We are a group of like-minded individuals who see an opportunity to address operational, analytical, and cultural gaps in the logistics industry.
Our organization’s goal is to provide the best customer service experience for our clientele and we strongly believe that this starts with how we treat our employees. We expect nothing less than respect and compassion amongst our colleagues and ourselves - the company, for many of us, is family.

About the role
We are currently in the design phase of our web application and we are looking for a highly experienced web developer to take the lead in developing our Final Mile logistics solution.
