About the Team

The “Atlas” team owns Lob’s second flagship product, our Address Verification API, which is our newest and largest product investment to date. Lob’s Address Verification API verifies that addresses are actually deliverable, enriches addresses with useful metadata, and helps cut major costs for our customers.

Our vision is to be the source of truth for all address data worldwide. In just a few years since it has launched, it has verified nearly a billion addresses and is continuing to grow at a breakneck pace. Lob is the first new company in nearly a decade to achieve the official USPS certification for address verification accuracy. To give you a peek ahead of what’s next for this team, we’re looking to continue scaling our system to support the needs of enterprise customers, expand availability across various new countries, and build intelligent algorithms to utilize Lob’s mail deliverability data to power our address accuracy.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Lob, you’ll...

  • Research, design, and build solutions to original problems pertaining to our address verification APIs. Everyone on our team gets to take ownership of problems—not just the most senior or tenured engineers.
  • Contribute to codebases in Node, Elixir, or Go in a hybrid microservices and serverless ecosystem.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders throughout Lob to troubleshoot business challenges, remove bottlenecks, and identify new opportunities for growth.
  • Measure the effectiveness of our engineering work, and use data to drive decisions to help our customers.

For this role, we’re looking for...

  • 7+ years of full-stack (backend, frontend, and database) experience in a modern web framework. Show us how you’ve used technology to solve problems.
  • Exceptional collaborators and communicators. At Lob, you win by helping others succeed. You have concrete examples of ways you’ve gone above and beyond to help the people around you meet their goals.
  • Experience building or working with APIs. It turns out that they’re are a lot harder to design and change than they are to consume. You have Strong Opinions about what good API design looks like, informed by real-world experience.
