At Packfleet we’re bringing the experience of receiving a package into the 2020s with modern tech, real-time tracking and updates, seamless integrations and great customer experience.
We have a small team of 6 engineers with experience at some of the best known tech brands in the UK (Monzo, Citymapper, SkyScanner, Amazon, Apple)
We're hiring for the following:
- Senior Frontend Engineer, to work on building world-class recipient & merchant apps. (NextJS, React)
- A Senior / Mid-level Backend Engineer to help us build better operational tooling, including vehicle routing and warehouse automation (NodeJS, K8S, Rust)
We run a full-stack TypeScript setup combined with some Rust services where performance matters (e.g. our in-house router).
The role is 2 days a week in the office (South London), 3 days a week remote.
We're hiring a Product Engineer to help us scale our internal and external products as we grow our package delivery startup.
At Packfleet we're on a mission to empower independent businesses across the UK to offer the best deliveries on Earth, saving them time, money and stress, and making their customers the happiest they can be.
We're a tech company and own our delivery technology end to end. That means we have lots of interesting product areas we're looking to develop further:
- Routing & optimization
- Tooling for live operations
- Tooling for merchants
- Public API and integrations
- Driver & warehouse apps
- Recipient app for tracking deliveries
and more!
Our tech stack is mostly Typescript with some services written in Rust where performance matters.

Packfleet is a fast growing seed-stage delivery startup based in London, founded by early employees of Monzo. We're out to make fully electric next-day deliveries the new normal, while improving every aspect of the delivery experience using modern tech. We're looking for a Senior engineer with routing or optimization experience, to join our small team and help build our in-house vehicle router in Rust. You would be the first engineer focused exclusively on routing and get to own and develop a core piece of tech in the company.
Some of the most interesting problems we’re working on at the moment are:
- Using a 3D distance matrix to generate routes that are time-of-day accurate.
- Taking into account the charge levels of our 100% electric fleet.
- Scaling time-windowed deliveries to thousands per day while maintaining efficiency.
- Incorporating on-demand same-day deliveries and address changes into our routes.
- Simulating demand and scale so we’re always one step ahead of our growth.
Well I'm not necessarily a fan of the naming but assuming Max stands for maximum, it's pretty clearly the best one. The one you get if you want to max it out. But they should've called it Pro Max for consistency with the iPhones...
Thanks for posting! I was part of the team that worked on this.
Monzo is a bank in the UK and last month we crowdfunded £20 million from 36,000 users through our own platform. We run the bank on our own software stack using Kubernetes & AWS, which we used for crowdfunding too.
Trying to integrate a high-traffic crowdfunding backend with our banking platform without disrupting our users’ day to day banking experience was tricky. Our bank is a distributed system that runs on hundreds of microservices. Building a high-traffic, reliable investment system using our architecture while requiring strong consistency on the amount invested was surprisingly challenging.
You said you only care about readability. But readability is one of the only reasons we code in "monospaced" fonts, because although they don't look as nice, it's very difficult to confuse capital I's with l's and 0's with O's.
Also surely you get the sense of informalness that comes from Comic Sans? Do you at least understand why it looks silly on something like a "DANGER, HIGH VOLTAGE" sign
