Descripción del empleo

Zubale is a technology company that empowers retailers to win in eCommerce. We serve a wide range of clients — from supermarkets, specialty stores, and pharmacies to department stores and fashion brands — across Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, Colombia and now Argentina. How do we do it? Through two key products:

• Flexifleet: A freelance marketplace to perform picking, packing, and delivery tasks for retailers and aggregators.
• Consumer Connect: AI-powered conversational commerce via WhatsApp to drive sales and enhance customer experience.

We are passionate about helping brands, aggregators, and retailers optimize their eCommerce operations, reduce costs, and increase profitability. Backed by over $70 million in venture capital, we have maintained steady growth over the past six years and completed more than 100 million orders through our platform. Today, we serve over 100 clients and connect thousands of freelancers within our network. And this is just the beginning.

We are building a profitable and scalable ecosystem, with the vision of becoming the number one partner for retailers’ eCommerce growth.
