About Veho

Veho is the post-purchase experience company that unlocks the potential of everyday consumers and brands to fully participate in e-commerce. Building an entirely new end-to-end logistics infrastructure, powered by the latest technology and designed for the modern era of shopping, Veho is reinventing shipping, and all parts of the post-purchase experience as we know it. By removing the pain from delivery and returns, Veho is creating powerful opportunities for brands to engage and build deep loyalty with their customers like never before.

As a Staff Software Engineer at Veho, you will lead cross-team initiatives to identify and proactively address challenges with organization wide impact. You will design and build scalable and reliable systems, develop engineering best practices, and help drive technical direction. Moreover, you will actively seek out difficult impediments to our efficiency as an organization ("tech debt") and propose and implement solutions that will enable teams to iterate faster and achieve their goals.

Additionally, you will mentor other engineers across the organization to accelerate their career growth and provide assistance in removing roadblocks and obstacles that prevent them from achieving success. You will partner with engineering leadership to adjust, evolve and refine our processes as needed.

  • Mentor and develop others on the engineering team as well as outside of our organization by assisting them on advanced technical issues while helping managers guide the career growth of their team members.
  • Advocate for improvements to product quality, security, and performance that have a measurable impact across your team and others.
  • Help improve the overall experience of our product by improving the quality of the features both in your group and features that benefit other groups.
  • Help identify areas of improvement in the code base, both specific to your team and outside your team, and help contribute to making it better.
