About Our Engineering.
Exceptional software is integral to our vision for changing the delivery business. For our customers, we care deeply about delivering amazing user experiences. Delivery can be a messy business, but our customers love our intuitive and easy-to-use software.
For the internal teams, we write software to run every part of our business: Operations, CS, accounting, and Sales. As we scale, automation, data, and AI will enable our team to move faster and smarter than the competition.
As a Startup in the growth phase, our current challenge is to migrate to new technologies, rebuild some services, make changes in our software architecture, and build whole new products.
Here’s what you will be doing at Bosta.
- Design and create services and system architecture for your projects, and contribute and provide feedback to other team members via technical design sessions.
- Collaborate with the front-end engineers in building, and shipping scalable APIs to be consumed by our client-facing solutions.
- Build and maintain third-party API integrations, fetching, and processing of data.
- Work with the product and design teams to discuss the requirements of the value teams (including business, marketing, sales, and logistics operations), understand end-user requirements, formulate use cases, and then translate that into usable and scalable features.
- Find the right balance between progress (i.e. shipping quickly) and perfection (i.e. measuring twice).
