You don't just write code - you design systems, own trade-offs, and care deeply about what happens after you ship.\nAt ShippyPro, we're scaling a platform that handles tens of millions of shipments a month. The backend is where the complexity lives: carrier integrations, async workflows, distributed systems, edge cases that would make most engineers sweat.\nIf you think in abstractions, move with precision, and get genuinely excited about building things that scale - keep reading\nAbout Us\nOur journey began with a vision to Make people work better - and today, following our Series B funding round of $15M, we're transforming how companies worldwide deliver their products.\nEngineering is at the core of everything we do. We're modernizing our architecture, integrating AI across the platform, and moving fast without cutting corners. You won't be maintaining legacy code in the dark - you'll be shaping how the system evolves.\nOur fast-paced, collaborative environment is the breeding ground for creativity and innovation. You'll be surrounded by a diverse team of experts, all driven by a shared purpose, constantly pushing each other to reach new heights.\nThe Product\nShippyPro is a shipping and fulfillment platform that helps merchants automate the entire shipping workflow, from choosing the best carrier service to generating labels and tracking deliveries. It connects with e-commerce platforms and hundreds of couriers, giving teams one place to ship faster, reduce manual work, and keep full control over costs and delivery performance.\nThe Challenge\nWe're not looking for someone who closes tickets.\nWe're looking for someone who owns systems.\nOur backend - built on PHP Laravel, NodeJS, and Python, while the frontend in React and TypeScript - is evolving into a microservices and microfrontend architecture with serverless and stateful services, handling hundreds of millions of global requests. We're also integrating AI capabilities across the platform, automating complex workflows and building intelligent solutions that transform how merchants handle shipping.\nYou're more than a developer - you're a true engineer. You're hands-on, but you're not just operational: you design, evaluate, and build solutions that scale. Your job is to bring structure to complexity, and ship things that last.\nWhy ShippyPro\nYou'll work on a backend that actually scales - millions of API calls, real distributed systems, real trade-offs\n\nYou'll shape the architecture, not just implement it\n\nYou'll use AI as a genuine engineering tool, not a buzzword\n\nYou'll collaborate directly with Product and Design - from idea to delivery\n\nYou'll see your work in production fast, with real merchants depending on it\n\nCurious about our engineering culture?
