Backend Engineer - Workforce Management team

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.

You will work in a team that is creating our workforce management system which includes optimizing scheduling, simplifying shift management for both managers and employees, enabling performance management and more! We streamline communication for staffing needs and time management, and we create efficient conditions for courier management. Your work will have a direct influence on the success of Instabee, making our operational processes more reliable and efficient, and improve workforce performance.
