Staff Full-Stack Software Engineer

Burq is a delivery technology company simplifying the process of offering delivery for enterprise retailers. The Staff Full-Stack Software Engineer will design, build, and deliver backend services, web applications, APIs, webhooks, and customer integrations while owning production quality. The role also involves improving the Burq Dashboard, collaborating with customers and internal teams, mentoring engineers, and using AI tools in daily development.

Responsibilities:

• Own the design, implementation, and delivery of complex features across our backend services and web applications
• Build and maintain REST APIs and webhooks that enterprise customers integrate against, with a high bar for reliability, security, and clear documentation
• Lead integrations from technical scoping through go-live, working directly with Product, Success, and customer engineering teams
• Use data and customer feedback to improve the Burq Dashboard so operators can run mission-critical deliveries quickly and without friction
• Take ownership of production quality: monitoring, incident response, root-causing issues, and making sure they don't happen twice
• Raise the team's standards through code reviews, technical design input, and mentoring, and improve our practices in engineering, security, and design
• Use AI tools day to day for development, testing, and debugging as a core part of how you work

Requirements:

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and owning production systems
• Strong experience with Node.js and JavaScript/TypeScript on the backend
• Experience building web applications with React or a similar modern framework
• Solid experience designing and building REST APIs and microservices
• Comfortable with SQL and NoSQL databases and with building on AWS
• Experience integrating with third-party systems and APIs, including webhooks, authentication, and handling failures gracefully
• A strong ownership mindset: you take problems from ambiguous to done, follow through without being chased, and hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just tickets
• AI-native: you actively and fluently use AI tools (Claude, Unblocked, etc.) in your daily work and adopt new tooling quickly
• Clear, direct communicator who can work with technical and non-technical stakeholders, including customers
• Experience with delivery, logistics, or marketplace platforms
• Experience with workflow orchestration (e.g., Temporal) or event-driven systems (e.g., Kafka)
• Experience with enterprise integrations and security requirements (SSO, IP allowlisting, audit logging)
