About Us

Today, e-commerce last mile delivery is chaotic, frustrating and inefficient for merchants, carriers and consumers. Consumers are overwhelmed with a plethora of notifications and tracking links, causing them to lose track of their orders, let alone manage them! At Karla, our mission is to empower customers by opening new consumer-friendly delivery and purchase options to organise the world's deliveries across carriers. We’re already backed by leading European VCs and high profile business angels and can’t wait to share with you what the future holds for Karla!

About the Role

We need someone who sees fast and high-quality coding execution as part of the excitement of everyday life, to create a scalable and high performing product. We’re looking for a versatile Backend Engineer to join our team!

You will:

• Work in collaboration with product and design to use cutting-edge and custom technologies to imagine, build and launch a breakthrough product that disrupts the market.

• Implement new features in a highly collaborative environment with product managers, customer strategists and fellow engineers.

• Create responsive, mobile friendly and beautiful web applications.

• Implement software engineering best practices (e.g. Agile software development, test-driven development, unit testing, code reviews, design documentation, etc.) enabling the product and team to scale.

• Build APIs, design data models, maintain backend code, and scale production systems.

About You

You are the Swiss army knife of backend software development and technical execution, with the ability to break down product requirements into implementable technical features.

You’ll have:

• 5+ years of software development experience in backend technologies and in recent years working with Python and FastAPI.

• Great experience with Kubernetes.

• Experience with web-scraping technologies and data architecture.

• Familiar with principles of APIs, stateful web (single page) applications, developer platforms (Git, Heroku).

• Experience designing data persistence and caching concepts using SQL and NoSQL DBMS (e.g. PostgreSQL, MongoDB).

• A solid understanding of how to design, develop, test, and monitor production-ready data-intensive systems.

• Entrepreneurial / startup experience, willing to learn and help build a tech stack from scratch.

• Strong knowledge of the agile software development lifecycle and continuous integration.

The Benefits

• Competitive salary balanced with 25 days holiday + Christmas and New Year off to ensure sufficient rest time as well as a focus on mental health.

• Flexible set up around your personal preferences and life constraints - make the job fit your life, not your life fit the job.

• Attractive ESOP package for long-term partnership and incentivisation.

• Remote and flexible working set up with an attractive office for brainstorming and co-location in Berlin Mitte.

• The opportunity to work first-hand with mission-driven founders and a tightly knit team in a flat hierarchy.

• A team of talented, motivated, driven, and fun individuals looking to change the way e-commerce deliveries are experienced and organised.

• We’ll actively support your learning and development with an annual budget to use on external courses, study support and desired learning of your choice.

• Full ownership over exciting challenges and the opportunity to shape the company culture right from the start.

• Unique exposure to work with CTO/tech angel investors.
