Impact Senior Backend Engineer | Berlin

By August 2023, you will have helped us save 90 tons of emissions and 73 tons of packaging waste per month while helping small and medium-sized independent businesses compete with e-commerce giants by offering faster, more sustainable logistics.

If empowering MSMEs, saving tons in emissions and waste in our cities, and creating a revolutionary post-purchase experience sounds exciting to you, welcome to LABELS.

By 2050, most of us humans will live in megacities.

Approximately 2.5 billion more people will be living in cities by 2050, according to the United Nations. Yet cities today are inefficient, full of unnecessary cars, emissions, waste, struggling small and medium-sized businesses, and even lonelier, disconnected citizens.

Rethinking the way we do business and live in urban environments has the power to create systemic change at scale. This is why at LABELS we aim to accelerate the transition toward sustainable, joyful cities. We envision cities where:

• There are fewer delivery vehicles on the streets
• People connect to their surroundings like never before
• Small and medium businesses can compete with e-commerce giants

We ve broken down that vision into 3 Acts, and you will join us for Act 1: Reinventing in-city logistics. We pioneer 0 waste, 0 emissions ultra-fast deliveries for MSMEs. We are the first delivery service in Europe to introduce reusable swap bags into e-commerce to eliminate 100% of the waste from parcels. Businesses can use our logistics by shipping from their stores or our micro fulfilment center. Delivery time varies from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

That alone can make a significant impact on emissions and packaging waste, not to mention the impact it has on independent businesses once you make their logistics 10x faster than Amazon or Zalando.

Did you know? Traditional delivery providers ship up to 95% of air due to secondary packaging. Inefficient, right?.
