About Ninja Van

Ninja Van is on a mission to dominate delivery for e-commerce in South East Asia. We are one of the fastest growing startups in the region - founded in mid-2014, we have already won over 3,000 merchants and deliver 15,000 parcels a day in four countries. In April 2016, barely 2 years old, we raised USD30 million to fund our rapid expansion.

At our core we are a technology company that is disrupting a massive industry with cutting edge software and operational concepts. Driven by algorithm-based optimization, dynamic routing, end-to-end tracking and capacity balancing with partner fleets, we provide best-of-class delivery services that delight both the shippers and end customers. But we are just getting started! We have much room for improvement and many ideas that will further shape the industry.

We are on the lookout for world-class talent to fill our world-class engineering team. We want people who are passionate about creating software that makes a difference to the world. We like people who are brimming with ideas and who take initiative rather than wait to be told what to do.
