4–8 years of professional software development experience
Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js in a production environment
Proven experience designing and consuming REST APIs
Working knowledge of PostgreSQL (or other relational databases)
Experience deploying and monitoring applications in AWS
Comfortable contributing across both backend and frontend stacks
What the job involves
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
As a Software Engineer at Burq, you will be joining a team of talented engineers working together to transform the way businesses offer on-demand & same-day delivery
You will be part of an emerging team that is building a product to power millions of businesses with their delivery needs
Build and scale Node.js/Express services that power our delivery platform
Design and maintain RESTful APIs with a focus on scalability, authentication, and performance
Work with PostgreSQL to design efficient schemas and optimize queries for large datasets

Develop responsive, maintainable user interfaces using React and TypeScript
Collaborate with product and design teams to translate complex logistics workflows into simple, intuitive experiences
Design and refine prompts for large language models to optimize route planning, order processing, and customer communications
Integrate AI capabilities (e.g., AWS Bedrock) into existing workflows and services
Experiment with AI-powered features to improve delivery efficiency, automation, and user experience
Collaborate with the team to identify opportunities where AI/ML can solve logistics challenges at scale
Deploy and manage services in AWS (ECS, Lambda, RDS, S3, etc.)
Implement CI/CD pipelines and observability tools to ensure reliability and scalability
Own features end-to-end—from concept through production release
Participate in code reviews, share best practices, and mentor other engineers
Can put yourself in the shoes of your users and be a steward of crafting great experiences
