About us

In 2022, Instabee was founded after combining Budbee and Instabox - two leading last-mile delivery companies with three consumer-facing brands: Budbee, Instabox, and Porterbuddy. Instabee serves millions of consumers across Europe with convenient deliveries and is on track to become the leading European e-commerce enabler. Always with the consumer at heart.

We’re fast, both in terms of parcel delivery and when it comes to growing our business. So far our journey has taken us from Sweden to the rest of Scandinavia and parts of continental Europe, but we have no plans on stopping anytime soon. As we continue to expand, the complexity of Instabee grows in parallel. With that in mind, we’re now looking for you to help us on the journey ahead.

About the role
We’re now looking for an experienced Backend Developer to join our Box Team and shape the future of one of Sweden’s most impactful delivery products: our Box systems. Your work will ensure they operate seamlessly—no matter the circumstances.

In this role, you'll focus on designing, building, and maintaining the systems that power our parcel box network, from scaling backend services in the cloud to ensuring reliable operation even with unstable connectivity and unexpected user behaviors. You'll be involved in technical decision-making, architecture, and hands-on coding, making this an excellent opportunity for those who thrive on solving complex challenges.

With us, you’ll have the chance to make a big impact on both the technology we use and the experience we provide to our users, working closely with our product, design, and other engineering teams.

Your future team

The Box Team is responsible for developing and maintaining all software related to our box network and its backend systems. As an autonomous team, we take full ownership of our product.
