If you enjoy building scalable full-stack applications, solving complex engineering challenges, and creating software that powers real-world operations — we'd love to talk.

About the Company

Our client is a UK-based logistics and delivery technology company operating one of the country's largest last-mile delivery networks.

Every week, millions of parcels, newspapers, and essential goods are delivered through their platform for some of the UK's largest retailers and logistics providers.

After more than two decades of operational success, the company is investing in a complete rebuild of its core technology platform using a modern JavaScript ecosystem. This is a true greenfield project where engineering teams have the opportunity to design scalable systems without the burden of legacy architecture.

The company combines the stability of an established business with the speed and engineering culture of a modern product company.
