About the job
The intern program at Tajir is unique.
First, we expect you to work on important projects with real customer-facing impact.
Second, Tajir engineers will mentor you closely to level you up as engineers.
Lastly, the internship program is an extended “interview” to a full-time offer. On the last day of the internship, we make full-time offers to interns who make a great impression, with no further interviewing required.
About Tajir
Our mission is to make 40% of the economy of Pakistan radically more efficient.
Stores in Pakistan have been buying products in the same way for nearly a century. Why should 20 trucks deliver to the same store in a single day? Why do people travel on bikes, burning needless fuel, to collect orders on scraps of paper? Why do store owners wait restlessly for someone to visit once a week to collect an order?
Tajir is a radical break from the past. We offer an app where stores can buy everything they need, delivered reliably the next day. We drastically reduce the number of vehicles on the road with efficient, centralized delivery, so both store owners and manufacturers enjoy higher profits. With $150B of purchases made by retailers annually, even modest efficiency gains have an outsized economic impact.
We are backed by Kleiner Perkins (early investors in Google, Amazon) and Y Combinator (early investors in Coinbase, Airbnb, Dropbox). Learn more about us on Forbes and Geo News.
