Stedi Careers & Recruitment

Corporate Overview & History

Stedi is a private‑equity backed technology company that builds API‑first infrastructure for e‑commerce and supply‑chain operations. The company was founded in 2020 by a team of former Amazon Web Services and UPS executives who identified a fragmented market for reliable, developer‑friendly logistics APIs. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Stedi quickly expanded its engineering footprint to Bangalore, India, leveraging the region’s deep talent pool in cloud, data‑engineering and API design. In 2021 Stedi closed a $15 million Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz and has since partnered with major retailers, marketplaces and third‑party logistics providers to power order‑to‑delivery workflows at scale.

Core Business Operations & Divisions

Stedi’s platform is organized around three primary product suites:

• Order & Inventory API – Real‑time order ingestion, inventory synchronization and fulfillment routing.
• Shipping & Tracking API – Carrier‑agnostic label generation, rate shopping and end‑to‑end shipment visibility.
• Data & Analytics Engine – Event streaming, anomaly detection and predictive delivery insights.

Key internal divisions include:

• Engineering – Cloud services, API gateway, SDKs (Node, Python, Java, Go) and platform reliability.
• Product Management – Road‑map definition, customer discovery and UX design for developer portals.
• Customer Success & Solutions Architecture – Integration support, custom workflow consulting and SLA management.
• Sales & Partnerships – Enterprise acquisition, channel alliances with ERP and OMS vendors.

Hiring & Selection Process

Stedi follows a transparent, four‑stage recruitment workflow:

1. Online Application – Submit resume via the careers portal; AI‑driven parsing highlights relevant tech stacks.
2. Screening Assessment – For engineering roles, candidates complete a 90‑minute coding test on HackerRank (focus on algorithms, API design and system design basics). Non‑technical roles receive a situational judgement questionnaire.
3. Technical Interviews – Two rounds of live video calls. The first round assesses core coding ability (white‑board or shared IDE). The second round dives into system design, scalability, and domain knowledge (e‑commerce logistics, data pipelines).
4. Culture & Leadership Fit – A final interview with the hiring manager and a senior leader evaluates collaboration style, growth mindset and alignment with Stedi’s “developer‑first” ethos.

Successful candidates receive an offer letter within 5‑7 business days, accompanied by a detailed compensation breakdown.
