Staff Data Analyst

Every parcel we deliver starts with an engineering decision At Instabee, we don't just move parcels — we solve some of the most complex physical-world problems in European logistics, at scale. From the algorithms that optimize a driver's route to the systems that predict terminal throughput hours in advance, our engineering decisions have a direct impact on millions of deliveries every day. We're now looking for a Staff Engineer to join our technical leadership group — someone who doesn't just write great code, but shapes how entire teams think, build, and deliver. About the Role This isn't a traditional engineering role. As a Staff Engineer in Group Operations, you sit at the intersection of technical strategy and real-world logistics. You work alongside Product and Engineering Management to ensure multiple teams are building the right things, in the right way, at the right scale. Think of yourself as the technical glue — the person who bridges business ambition and engineering execution, who spots the hard problems before they become expensive ones, and who raises the bar for the entire engineering organization around you. What You'll Do Drive Technical Strategy & Architecture Set the technical direction across multiple teams in Operations. You'll guide engineers toward right-sized solutions — balancing high-scale stability with the speed needed to move the needle on operational KPIs. Tackle Genuinely Hard Problems Forecasting incoming parcel volumes, optimizing terminal throughput, routing thousands of drivers in real time — these are the kinds of challenges that define our business and your days. Champion Developer Experience Identify and eliminate technical friction. You'll lead initiatives to improve testing environments and deployment speed, keeping our engineering organization sharp and efficient. Bridge Business & Tech Translate complex business requirements into evolvable technical designs. You'll help teams understand how their code directly impacts the P&L of our logistics network — and why that matters. Mentor & Build Culture Act as a role model for the engineering community. You'll mentor senior engineers, promote a culture of learning from failure, and foster cross-team collaboration to ensure we don't reinvent the wheel. Enable Data-Driven Decisions Work closely with Data and Product teams to ensure our systems produce high-quality insights that power company-wide decisions. What We're Looking For You don't need to be an expert in everything your teams do — but you should care deeply about helping them succeed. We think you'll thrive in this role if you are: A Technical Leader — You have broad experience building distributed systems and can navigate deep technical dives and high-level architectural trade-offs with equal confidence. Strategic & Pragmatic — You know that "perfect is the enemy of good." You favor an iterative mindset, delivering value early and often rather than waiting for the ideal solution. Operationally Curious — You're fascinated by the intersection of software and physical operations. Experience in logistics, routing, or hardware integration is a significant plus. A Communicator & Collaborator — You can translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and thrive in a cross-functional environment where engineering, product, and business work closely together toward shared goals. A Quality Advocate — You hold a high bar for stability and security — but you know how to achieve it without killing the pace of innovation. Why join Instabee? You won’t just be another employee here; you’ll be a builder. We offer the chance to sharpen your skills alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry. If you’re someone who sees an inefficient process and thinks, "I can make that better," you’re going to love it here.

The Journey So Far Instabee was born when two pioneers, Budbee and Instabox, joined forces. Today, we are on a mission to become the leading European e-commerce enabler. We are a high-speed business, expanding across borders and constantly evolving. As our journey grows in scale and complexity, we need people like you to help us navigate the road ahead.

This is mandatory for all recruitment processes at Instabee in Sweden.

We're building tomorrow's delivery platform At Instabee, we're on a mission to become the undisputed #1 delivery service in the eyes of our consumers. We need exceptional engineers to help us get there. We're looking for a Staff Engineer who can bridge the gap between ambitious business goals and technical execution. Someone who identifies opportunities, builds the right solutions, and raises the bar for everyone around them. The role You will be embedded in one of our Consumer teams, the part of Instabee that sits closest to real users and real deliveries. This is a hands-on role where you will spend most of your time building, not reviewing architectural slide decks. Your job is ensuring we're building the right things, in the right way, at the right scale. Aside from the work within the team, you will be part of a community of Staff Engineers working on cross-organisation projects and challenges. You'll help translate business ambition into engineering execution, surface hard problems before they become expensive ones, and actively drive the engineering culture at Instabee by raising the bar, sharing knowledge, and making the organisation better at building software. What you'll do Ship things users notice Identify and build features that move the needle on user satisfaction. You'll own problems from idea to production, together with your team. Keep the team unblocked Spot friction before it becomes a bottleneck. That might mean improving test setup, fixing a flaky deploy pipeline, or untangling a service boundary that's slowing everyone down. Make technical trade-offs explicit Help the team choose solutions that are good enough now and don't paint us into a corner later. Scale and velocity both matter, and your job is to hold both at once. Connect code to outcomes Help engineers understand why what they're building matters. Work with Product and Data to make sure our systems produce the signals we need to make good decisions. Raise the bar around you Coach engineers, share what you know, and push for a culture where we learn from mistakes instead of hiding them. What we're looking for You don't need to be an expert in everything your team touches, but you should care deeply about succeeding together as a team. You're a doer. You don't just think about problems; you solve them. You're a technical leader who has built web and app (ideally consumer facing) solutions at scale, and can move fluidly between deep technical dives and high-level architectural trade-offs. You're strategic and pragmatic. You know that perfect is the enemy of good. You favor iteration, deliver value early and often, and ship before you have the ideal solution. You're a communicator and collaborator. You make complex technical concepts accessible to non-technical partners and thrive in cross-functional environments where engineering, product, and business move together. You're a quality advocate who holds a high bar for stability and security, without killing the pace of innovation. If this sounds like the kind of challenge you'd wake up excited to tackle, we'd love to hear from you. What You'll Get We can promise you'll be challenged, develop your skills, and work with truly amazing and competent colleagues. If you like change and want to set new processes and ways of working — this is the place for you. Of course, we have all the standard benefits in place. But beyond that, we also offer: 🌇 Sky-High Office — Modern and newly renovated with 360-degree views across Stockholm 🐶 Puppy Friendly — Bring your dog to work (we've got a whole floor for our furry friends) 🏓 Fun & Games — Ping pong, shuffleboard, foosball, and a karaoke room 👶 Six Months Parental Pay — Step away and give your little one the care they deserve 🎂 Your Birthday Off — Celebrate yourself with a day off each year ⏰ Hybrid & Flexible — Work the way that works for you Our Commitment to You Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of who we are. We're committed to creating an inclusive work environment where everyone's perspectives are valued and every employee has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. Next Steps This role requires a background check via Svensk Bakgrundsanalys, which includes a review of public criminal records. The results are handled confidentially as part of our standard recruitment process in Sweden. Please note that we are on holiday during July and will be starting to look at resumés first week of August. Ready to join us? We'd love to hear how you think about technical leadership and what excites you about solving logistics at scale.
