Full-Stack Software Engineer

About Burq

Burq started with an ambitious mission: to turn the complex process of offering delivery into a simple, turnkey solution. It’s a big mission, and now we want you to join us in making it even bigger. 🚀

We’re proud to be recognized as one of Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators and a 2025 Inc. Magazine Power Partner, awards that highlight how we’re redefining the future of logistics while empowering our partners to grow.

Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors like Village Global, the fund whose investors include Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Reid Hoffman, and Sara Blakely, we’ve built a world-class team across the globe.

We operate at scale but remain small enough for every person to have a massive impact. There’s a lot of important work ahead, and joining Burq means the opportunity to grow faster than ever while doing the most meaningful work of your career.

We're looking for a Full-stack Engineer who takes ownership of problems end to end and raises the bar for the team around them. You'll build the APIs, integrations, and product surfaces that enterprise retailers use to run delivery through Burq, from the first design conversation through production and beyond.

This is a high-impact role for someone who doesn't wait to be told what to do next. You'll spot what's broken or missing, propose the fix, ship it, and make sure it stays working. As we bring on large enterprise customers, much of your work will be integration-heavy: connecting Burq to customer systems, hardening our APIs and webhooks, and making sure everything holds up under real operational load.

You'll also work AI-native, using AI tools daily to move faster, debug smarter, and take on problems most people would escalate and wait on.

Here’s a quick overview of what you will be doing:

What you'll do

• Own the design, implementation, and delivery of complex features across our backend services and web applications
• Build and maintain REST APIs and webhooks that enterprise customers integrate against, with a high bar for reliability, security, and clear documentation
• Lead integrations from technical scoping through go-live, working directly with Product, Success, and customer engineering teams
• Use data and customer feedback to improve the Burq Dashboard so operators can run mission-critical deliveries quickly and without friction
• Take ownership of production quality: monitoring, incident response, root-causing issues, and making sure they don't happen twice
• Raise the team's standards through code reviews, technical design input, and mentoring, and improve our practices in engineering, security, and design
• Use AI tools day to day for development, testing, and debugging as a core part of how you work

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and owning production systems
• Strong experience with Node.js and JavaScript/TypeScript on the backend
• Experience building web applications with React or a similar modern framework
• Solid experience designing and building REST APIs and microservices
• Comfortable with SQL and NoSQL databases and with building on AWS
• Experience integrating with third-party systems and APIs, including webhooks, authentication, and handling failures gracefully
• A strong ownership mindset: you take problems from ambiguous to done, follow through without being chased, and hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just tickets
• AI-native: you actively and fluently use AI tools (Claude, Unblocked, etc.) in your daily work and adopt new tooling quickly
• Clear, direct communicator who can work with technical and non-technical stakeholders, including customers
• Nice to have
• Experience with delivery, logistics, or marketplace platforms
• Experience with workflow orchestration (e.g., Temporal) or event-driven systems (e.g., Kafka)
• Experience with enterprise integrations and security requirements (SSO, IP allowlisting, audit logging)

Benefits

Investing in you 🙏

• Fully remote
• Generous time off
