Full-Stack Software Engineer

About Burq Burq started with an ambitious mission: how can we turn the complex process of offering delivery into a simple turnkey solution?

We began by building one of the largest connected delivery networks, partnering with major logistics providers and making it easy for businesses to plug in and start offering delivery instantly. Today, we're powering deliveries for some of the fastest-growing companies—from retailers to startups.

It's a big mission, and now we want you to join us to make it even bigger!

We're backed by leading venture investors, including Village Global (whose LPs include Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Reid Hoffman, and Sara Blakely), and have assembled a world-class team across the U.S.

We operate at scale, but we're still a small team relative to the opportunity ahead. That means you'll have an unprecedented chance to grow while doing the most important work of your career.

We want people who are unafraid to be wrong and who support their decisions with both numbers and narrative.
