Job description

At Bezos, our vision is to Deliver Happiness: for our team, for the end consumers, for the e-commerce sellers, and for our logistics partners.

Exciting times in e-commerce: E-commerce sales are driven by consumers who increasingly buy more online and the emergence of small and medium (SME) online sellers who sell through multiple channels (Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Instagram). Today, these SME online sellers are falling behind large retailers due to the complexity of logistics and are ignored by large incumbent logistics service providers. We are on a mission to change that.

Building a next-generation fulfilment-as-a-service platform: Bezos.ai develops a cloud-based platform that empowers small and medium-sized online sellers to compete with large retailers. By connecting with existing fulfilment and logistics providers (in the UK, Europe, and the US), we offer fast, reliable solutions that simplify operations and lower costs. With Bezos.ai, SMEs can efficiently scale their businesses both locally and globally-a smarter approach to logistics.

Responsibilities

• To build new features in our core language Go (Golang)
• To work with our serverless architecture and deliver clean and maintainable code
• Share responsibility for domain-specific services - investigating alerts and fixing root causes
• Collaborate with the rest of the team to help define the wider technical roadmap
• Strive to continually improve and learn new technologies

Requirements

• 2+ years of commercial (or equivalent large open source project) experience in a modern programming language
• Experience programming in Go
• Working knowledge of Git and VCS
• Experience working with and designing RESTful APIs
• Experience using at least one cloud service provider (AWS/GCP/Azure)
