Job description
Shoreditch · Hybrid Remote
Be part of a driven and enthusiastic team and help reimagine parcel delivery from scratch - built on a modern tech stack with sustainability, flexibility and scale at the core.

At HIVED, we’re steamrolling forward as one of Europe’s fastest growing startups, and our momentum shows no signs of slowing.

Based in London, we are a climate and logistics start-up building the first sustainable parcel delivery network at scale, powered by a 100% electric fleet. In an ever-growing industry where unreliable service has long been the norm, HIVED has been built from the ground-up to meet the demands of modern consumers and disrupt parcel delivery.

A tech company at heart, our talent and technology is laser-focused on delivering the best possible delivery experience for end-customers and meeting the needs of our retail partners. From our drivers to our data engineers, we are constantly working to improve this customer experience that makes us deliver better.

Already trusted by leading international brands such as Zara, Uniqlo, ASOS, Nespresso, and more, we are solidifying our position as the leaders in Europe to tackle this growing market.

Our tight-knit team is made up of ex-Revolut, Bain, HelloFresh, ASOS, Apple and Google employees, and we are backed by some of Europe’s leading investors and VCs in climate-tech, logistics and mobility including Planet A Ventures, Maersk Growth, Pale Blue Dot VC, Eka Ventures and the British government. We’re passionate about driving innovation and redefining the future of delivery.

Role Overview 📝

We are looking for a passionate and versatile backend engineer to work on the services that power HIVED’s emission-free parcel delivery network. The problems your team is solving cover complex routing and optimisation challenges, building intelligent address and parcel locating solutions, external integrations, powering our customer facing apps with (live) tracking data and more.

Our engineers hold a large amount of ownership and autonomy and are expected to build an in-depth understanding of the solutions they are working on, across the entire stack.
