Postmates is disrupting local commerce by making everything in your city available to be delivered in minutes. This has unlocked on-demand local shopping — providing consumers the convenience of super fast delivery for the largest selection of goods (anything in the whole city!); the benefit and scale of e-commerce for local merchants; and more flexible work for couriers.

This is a tall order, and Postmates relies heavily on our engineering applications and systems to realize this vision. Even though we are already a billion dollar business with millions of customers in 3000+ US cities trusting us with more than 2M orders every month, we have only just started our technical journey to build our technology stack in a way that can keep up with our rapid growth.

What we do

The Fleet Core team is responsible for the entire product offering for our Postmates. This includes the mobile apps utilized to fulfill deliveries, the backend systems that power our financial transactions, to the technologies powering our network such as dynamic heat maps, automated incentives, fleet communications, etc. This suite of products and technologies is the primary driver of route efficiency and customer reliability for the company, and enables us to provide a world class experience for all sides of the market.
