You're the kind of engineer who reads a pull request and immediately spots the architectural decision hiding behind it.
Di seguito troverà tutto ciò che deve sapere su questa possibilità e sui requisiti richiesti ai candidati.
You don't just write code – you design systems, own trade-offs, and care deeply about what happens after you ship.
At ShippyPro, we're scaling a platform that handles 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.
If you think in abstractions, move with precision, and get genuinely excited about building things that scale – keep reading.
About Us
Our 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.
Engineering 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.
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
We're not looking for someone who closes tickets.
We're looking for someone who owns systems.
Our backend – built on PHP Laravel, with NodeJS and Python in the mix — is evolving into a microservices architecture handling millions of global requests. The work is real: designing scalable services, integrating AI into shipping workflows, making distributed systems actually reliable.
Your job is to bring structure to complexity, and ship things that last.
