The product

ShippyPro 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 multiple couriers, giving teams one place to ship faster, reduce manual work, and keep full control over costs and delivery performance.

The challenge

You're more than a developer – you're a true engineer! You think in systems, solve problems creatively, and bring both structure and imagination to your code. You're hands-on, but you're not just operational: you design, evaluate, and build solutions that scale. You're ready to take ownership of your work and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful solutions, optimizing for performance and scalability.

The codebase you'll be working on

We’re on a mission to scale and modernize our platform, making it more powerful and efficient. Our backend, built with PHP, NodeJS and Python, is evolving into a microservices-based architecture with Serverless and Stateful services to handle millions of global requests seamlessly.

What you’ll do:

• Design scalable systems and architect backend services
• Be hands-on with a big-picture mindset: you'll code, but also lead technical design and explore creative applications of AI to solve real problems
• Leverage AI and LLMs to automate workflows, enhance user experience, and build intelligent features that reduce manual work for our customers
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams: work closely with Product and Design, from idea to delivery
• Make it fast, make it last: performance and scalability matter – we handle millions of shipments every month
• Build with quality and test everything

Our tech stack includes:

• Backend: PHP, NodeJS and Python
• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
• Testing: Jest, Cypress, PHPUnit
• Databases: MySQL, DynamoDB
• Caching & Messaging: Redis, AWS EventBridge, RabbitMQ
• Infrastructure: AWS (ECS, Lambda), Docker, GitActions
• AI & Automation: OpenAI APIs, LangChain, vector databases, n8n

The Engineering team

We’re a high-impact, fast-moving team managing millions of API requests every month. We focus on performance, scalability, and continuous improvement, shipping regular updates and new features. Here, your work truly matters and you’ll have the opportunity to make a real difference!

Our hiring process

We take the time to carefully evaluate each step of the process to ensure the best fit for our team. After the initial review of your application, here’s what you can expect:

1. Interview with the People & Culture team
   This step is focused on getting to know you better and understanding whether there is a good cultural fit with our team.
2. High-level technical interview with a Team Leader
   A deep discussion of your technical experience and approach to problem-solving, led by one of our Team Leaders.
3. Technical skills assessment

Disclaimer

If you want to move on with the application, you'll have to answer a few questions. Although we love AI (it’s part of almost everything we do!) we’d love to hear you. Be honest – no right or wrong answers here.

Feel free to use AI if you want, but make sure your answers sound like you, not just a completed task
