Senior Software Engineer | Box Team

Where software meets the physical world

In 2022 Budbee and Instabox merged to form Instabee now home to three consumer brands serving millions of deliveries across Europe. We move fast were growing across Scandinavia and continental Europe and were not slowing down. Always with the consumer at heart.

The Team

The Box team owns one of Instabees most tangible products: our locker network.

We build and maintain the full software ecosystem that powers 6000 lockers from cloud backend services to the software running on the physical hardware itself. Its a space where reliability scalability and real-world constraints collide daily and where the gap between a code change and a real-world outcome is remarkably short.

We operate as an autonomous cross-functional team with full ownership of our product lifecycle from design and development through to deployment and iteration. If youve ever wanted to see your engineering decisions literally open a door this is that job.

What Youll Work On

The teams focus and responsibilities span a wide range of areas but everything is centered around the user experience at the parcel lockers. This means working with supporting backend solutions (Golang) the user interface at the locker itself (React) cloud services (Google Cloud) and other related applications.

With our roadmap mainly centered around the locker experience much of the engineering work focuses on building and evolving the software that powers the devices themselves. Its a pragmatic flexible environment where no two problems look the same.
