Job summary Do you want to make a major impact in next 1 year Do you want to build new products from scratch Do you like startup culture If yes, then this might be right opportunity for you.We are Lockers team! We solve the problem of package delivery to customers. A lot of time Amazon customers have to go through hassles of coordinating delivery time with carriers and are not able to receive their packages. We solve this problem for them. We allow customer to get their package (and do their returns) when and where they want. In other words, we make the package delivery asynchronous in nature. Is that an important problem Draw a comparison with how messaging solutions like AWS SQS / JMS are critical part of tech architecture, the same way we are becoming important to package delivery.We have been in existence for last 8 years, have a network of 10K lockers in 12+ countries, and deliver millions of package a month.
