About the opportunity
We are on the lookout for a Senior Manager Software Engineering - (Logistics, Time Estimations) to join the Seamless Domain on our journey to always deliver amazing experiences.

Our Domain makes sure customers experience delivery as predictable, explainable, and trustworthy across the entire order lifecycle.
