Palmo

1-10

CEO & Co-Founder

Full-time (permanent)

Germany

Join us on our journey to **radically improve the way billions of parcels move through our cities.**

⚡ The best way to get us there is **city logistics**. **Electric vehicles**, particularly **light** ones, are used in combination with **urban hubs** or brick-and-mortar **stores** to reduce CO2 emissions by 95%, lighten the traffic and pollution burden on our cities, and cut vehicle costs by half.

🤖 At Palmo, we are building the **software layer for city logistics**—a marketplace that will enable shippers (e.g., e-commerce retailers or national carriers) to connect to a **single** API and get millions of their parcels moved **seamlessly** through major cities, do so **sustainably**, and at a **fraction of today's cost.**

🛠️ The technical challenge is immense. **Vast numbers** of retailers, fleets, vehicles, and warehouses need to be **connected**. Additionally, we have to **orchestrate** the **efficient** and automatic movement of thousands of parcels in **real-time**, using purpose-built optimisation algorithms and machine learning.

Currently, we are building the core technology called **PalmoDMS** and onboarding initial partners.

## Tasks

We are looking for an **exceptional Front-End & Mobile engineer** to lead the development for our NextJS Web App and our React Native-based mobile applications. You'll report **directly to the CTO** and have **ownership and responsibility** over key areas of our product and technology. As one of our first colleagues, you will be crucial in shaping Palmo’s success and culture. We are looking for a generalist who is excited at the prospect of mastering new technologies to solve business problems, and will enjoy the thrills of fast-growing early-stage startups.

You will be responsible for the implementation of our **end-user-interfaces**. Currently, this is the front-end of the AutoPilot, which our clients use to steer their delivery operation, as well as a driver app for the people on the ground.

**More specifically, your responsibilities will include:**

*   Building real-time web applications with NextJS and GraphQL
*   Building React Native applications on iOS and Android devices
*   Be a key part of the product development process and help shape and refine the scope of ideas
*   Continually look for opportunities to improve operational excellence
*   Ensuring the code written is scalable, reusable, and works well across multiple applications inside our repository
*   Coordinating with teams responsible for other layers of the product infrastructure

## Requirements

*   4+ years of professional experience working with React & React Native
*   6+ years of professional software development experience
*   Solid understanding of the JavaScript programming language, including ES6+ syntax and the TypeScript superset
*   Experience designing and constructing optimised enterprise-grade systems with hundreds of real-time updates per minute, from the ground up
*   Experience developing frameworks and platform-independent packages
*   Excellent grasp of modern state management libraries (Flux, Redux, Urql / Apollo Client)
*   Testing your code is second nature to you (Jest)
*   Proficient knowledge of GitHub Actions and CI/CD pipelines
*   Big plus: experience working in mobility or logistics

**You are:**

*   Passionate about solving climate change and excited to contribute to doing so at a fast-paced startup
*   Self-motivated, have a growth mindset and are excited at the prospect of new challenges
*   Highly adaptable and flexible. If you thrive on uncertainty and are looking for a wild ride, you will like it here
*   Thrilled about your work, take ownership and pride yourself on being able to get a lot done and do so at a fast pace
*   A team player with good communication skills is key, as building a product of Palmo’s complexity is a highly collaborative effort
*   Gifted with high attention to detail, as we are building mission-critical infrastructure for our clients, without which they’ll struggle to operate
*   Passionate about software development, new technologies, industry news, etc. — it’s not just your career, it’s your hobby.

## Benefits

*   Use your experience to work on the **most important problem of our generation.** This is an opportunity to truly make an impact - for our clients, cities and climate
*   Be among the first people in the company, **shape Palmo’s trajectory** & technical stack from day 1
*   **Turbo-charge your career progression** and grow with us
*   Competitive salary and **very significant equity**
