The listing
Spreetail is becoming a third-party logistics provider, taking on warehousing and fulfillment for external merchants and brands. The 3PL Staff Engineer owns the technical foundation of this new product: the multi-tenant systems that manage client onboarding, inventory, warehouse operations, order fulfillment, and billing for outside customers using Spreetail's fulfillment network.
You will operate as a founding technical leader for a 0-to-1 platform, bringing deep ecommerce domain expertise to bear on warehouse operations, inventory management, and order fulfillment at multi-tenant scale. This platform is being built AI-native from the start — with demand forecasting, automated exception handling, and anomaly detection woven into core workflows rather than bolted on afterward. Your work directly determines whether Spreetail can reliably sell 3PL services to external clients — making it a direct driver of new revenue and margin.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership, build-from-the-ground-up role requiring strong distributed systems expertise, deep familiarity with ecommerce order-to-fulfillment flows, and the ability to make foundational architecture decisions for a new business line.
How you will achieve success:
What experiences will help you in this role:
- 6–8+ years of experience building and shipping production backend systems
- Experience informally or formally leading the technical direction of a team or workstream (design reviews, mentorship, setting standards)
- Experience with ecommerce order management, inventory, warehouse, or logistics systems is a strong plus
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, still-being-defined 0-to-1 environment
- Strong fundamentals in backend engineering: APIs, data modeling, databases, and distributed systems
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and cloud-native service design
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures (queues, streams, async processing)
- Strong testing, debugging, and production-support practices
- Ability to set technical direction and make sound judgment calls without direct authority
- Strong code review and mentorship instincts
- Comfort representing a workstream in broader architecture discussions
- Exposure to EDI standards or 3PL/WMS integration patterns
- Experience integrating ML model outputs (forecasts, predictions, anomaly scores) into application logic
- Interest in growing domain expertise in e-commerce logistics and fulfillment
- Ability to influence and align engineers without formal authority over them
- Clear written and verbal communication, especially in async, distributed team settings
- Comfort balancing hands-on technical work with guiding others
