Work for a climate startup, today!
This is a hybrid position where you will be expect to come to our office in Marina Del Rey, 4 days a week, Monday through Thursday.
We’re building a platform to make carbon-neutral logistics easy for CPG startups. Our software and fulfillment network unlocks underutilized space in businesses and fleets for fractional logistics support. We're micro fulfillment essentially made available for CPGs, retail companies, etc. anyone that needs it, but our focus today is serving CPGs. We want our onboarding experience to be frictionless because we want to make it easy to help CPGs get their products to customers.
I am looking for a backend software engineer to join our team at CZero. You must have 1+ years of experience building integrations for a platform team, in python. You will write code in the area of logistics and e-commerce, but that experience is less important than working with fintech integrations. You should care about humans and the environment, and like to work at a place where you will be highly visible and make an impact, every single day.
You should have experience building from the ground up. You will be working with a code base that already exists but you will be expected to learn what we have now and contribute to improvements to simplify the code. You should understand how to manage code bases that are heavy on integrations. If you have ever had to change a major integration like a payments provider I’d like to hear how you managed that. You should have a deep understanding of python, document databases, and caching.
Our backend technical stack is pretty simple:
FAST API (Build Rest and GQL API)
Mongo
We will be transitioning to AWS. A basic understanding of core products (S3, Push Notifications) is required. We will be using infra-as-code (ie Terraform) to manage our infrastructure. I don’t expect you to know it but you should have the interest to learn IAC from the team and be able to help me manage our infra repo by next year.
Finally, you should have strong opinions on how to structure data and on Graphql schema design and REST API design. Be comfortable with documentation and even more comfortable using open-source projects to automate it.
We like kind ambitious people who are curious about things that seem difficult. We like people who know how to focus on what’s essential and will not get bogged down on trivial matters. This is not the startup where you will have a month to decide on a caching solution. Be prepared to work with people of different skill sets to synthesize needs and formulate clear deliverables - we have people who can help with that but we’re looking for good listeners. You should be able to not only form solutions but also be good at deciding if we don’t need a solution.
