Full Stack Software Engineer

Full-Stack Software Engineer
Location: Stockholm (Hybrid) · Type: Full-Time · Engineering
What we should tell you about the role
We're looking for full-stack engineers who move fast and thrive in high-velocity environments. You're the kind of person who sees a broken carrier integration, traces the root cause inside an hour, and ships the fix before the standup ends. You love turning messy, real-world logistics data (carrier APIs that lie, warehouse webhooks that fire out of order, return flows that nobody documented) into systems that just work, and you don't wait for perfect specs to get started.
You're a builder who's just as comfortable shipping a new React surface in the merchant dashboard as you are debugging a Pub/Sub backlog, tuning a Solr index, or rewriting a Laravel job that's silently dropping shipments. You think in terms of latency, reliability, and iteration, always asking: how do we get this in front of merchants faster, and how do we know it actually moved the needle?
As one of our next core engineering hires, you'll help shape how Pango orchestrates shipping, tracking, and returns end to end. You'll work closely with product, our co-founders, and our merchants directly, to rethink how AI agents can do real, accountable operational work in a space stuck on legacy SaaS for a decade.
Here's why this is a terrible job
This is not a job for someone who likes to move slow.
We operate week to week with ruthless speed. Sometimes we're going in the wrong direction. More often we're going in the right one, but you won't always know which until after you ship.
If you need a few extra days to perfect a pipeline, chances are there's already a handful of teammates and merchants blocked behind you.
We use a deliberately tight stack: PHP/Laravel, MySQL, Google Cloud Functions, React, Terraform, Pub/Sub, Redis, Solr. We've made these choices on purpose, and we expect you to make them work, not relitigate them on day three.
You'll operate at the intersection of AI agents, e-commerce logistics, and the kind of accuracy requirements that come with real customers shipping real packages to real people. A bug here doesn't ruin a sprint, it ruins someone's birthday gift.
There are no clear answers. Just judgment calls, ambiguity, and constant input from every direction. You'll ask yourself, is this really the work? It is. And it's not for everyone.
Here's why it's the best career choice you'll make
We're building what every incumbent said couldn't be built. A platform that behaves like a back-office teammate, not just another SaaS tool bolted onto Shopify.
We operate with total transparency around pay, performance, and progress. Reviews are frequent, structured, and based on output and ownership, not tenure.
You'll be paid competitively. You'll earn meaningful equity. And you'll have full autonomy to make high-impact technical decisions.
You'll ship features because you believe in them and the merchants need them, not because they cleared six rounds of approval. You'll talk to customers directly. You'll drive outcomes end to end, from the first line of code to the merchant going live.
We'll tell you what needs to be achieved. How you get there is on you.
What you'll be responsible for
Building and maintaining production-grade services across our Laravel monolith and Google Cloud Functions layer
Shipping merchant-facing React surfaces that turn complex logistics workflows into something a brand operator actually wants to use
Owning carrier, warehouse, and shop-system integrations end to end, from the first webhook to long-term reliability
Driving performance, cost, and reliability improvements through experiments, profiling, and pragmatic refactoring
Enabling the broader team with primitives, tooling, and shared infrastructure that make the next feature faster to build

Your hard skillset
5+ years of professional engineering experience overall
Strong experience in one backend language (PHP, Ruby, Python, Go, or Rust) with genuine willingness to go deep on PHP/Laravel OR strong experience in React
Comfortable across the stack: backend services, frontend, message queues, caches, search, infrastructure as code
Experience at product-focused startups using modern tooling and processes
Bonus: Shopify, multi-carrier shipping APIs, or e-commerce logistics experience
Bigger bonus: you've taken a product from 0 to 1 and watched real users depend on it
Even bigger bonus: you've integrated LLMs or agentic workflows into production, not just a demo

Your soft skillset
Comfortable being uncomfortable, making calls with incomplete data, and changing your mind when the data changes
Empathetic and curious. You build for the merchant, not for the benchmark
Highly collaborative across product, engineering, and go-to-market. No lone wolves
Detail-oriented but pragmatic. You know when accuracy matters and when to ship
You own your work and welcome the accountability that comes with it

Growth and levels
We operate on a transparent leveling framework. Each level reflects increasing ownership, impact, and scope, with real jumps in salary and equity. Promotions are based on output, not tenure.
This isn't a comfy engineering role. It's fast, focused, and merchant-obsessed. You will launch fast. You will learn fast. You will own what you ship.
The process
Intro call with the founders (30 minutes)
Technical walkthrough and async take-home task (approximately 60 minutes)
Final round with the team (half day, on-site if possible)

By the end, you'll be wanting access to the stack before your first day, because you'll see exactly what kind of company we're building, and exactly how fast your career can move inside it.
