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. 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 spent the last 8 years building a global network of hundreds of thousands of Hub locations across 12+ countries and every continent, delivering millions of packages each month.

Yet, we still operate with the mindset of a startup—agile, fast, and laser-focused on innovation.

With key stakeholders and dependencies aligned under a single leadership structure, we make decisions quickly and execute at speed.

You will lead and coordinate design/implementation efforts, coordinating across multiple teams to develop optimal solutions.
