We solve the problem of package delivery, pickup and returns for our 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 several hundred thousand hub locations in 12+ countries and across all continents, and deliver millions of package a month. However, we still call ourselves a startup. This is because of how we operate and how we are scaling. We have our key stakeholders and dependencies under single leadership. We take quick decision and move fast on them. In last 3 years, we have launched several brand new successful products innovating at break neck speed. We plan to enhance our products, build completely new capabilities and converge our architecture for increasing the speed of execution and improving the resiliency of our network.In this role, you will re-architect the back-end that cuts across all Hub Products and work very closely with the Sr. Engineers and Principle Engineers of Last Mile Tech to reduce redundancies, improve throughput and scale the system for a 100X growth over next 3 years. You will also be part of cross-cutting initiatives that impact the entire Hub Network and lead several engineers while doing so.You will lead and coordinate design/implementation efforts, coordinating across multiple teams to develop optimal solutions. You will be expected to create a roadmap, align with business partners on prioritization, propose appropriate tradeoffs, clearly communicate goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes to leadership and stakeholders. You will also establish planning mechanisms to deliver on your roadmap, demonstrate strong operational excellence and maintain a high code quality bar.
