Senior Software Engineer
CALLING FOR: Senior Software Engineer
Youre the kind of engineer who reads a pull request and immediately spots the architectural decision hiding behind it.
You think in systems, solve problems creatively, and bring both structure and imagination to your code. You dont just write code - you design systems, own trade-offs, and care deeply about what happens after you ship.
At ShippyPro, were 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.
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, were transforming how companies worldwide deliver their products.
Engineering is at the core of everything we do. Were modernizing our architecture, integrating AI across the platform, and moving fast without cutting corners. You wont be maintaining legacy code in the dark - youll be shaping how the system evolves.
Our fast-paced, collaborative environment is the breeding ground for creativity and innovation. Youll be surrounded by a diverse team of experts, all driven by a shared purpose, constantly pushing each other to reach new heights.
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 hundreds of couriers, giving teams one place to ship faster, reduce manual work, and keep full control over costs and delivery performance.
The Challenge
Were not looking for someone who closes tickets.
Were looking for someone who owns systems.
Our 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. Were also integrating AI capabilities across the platform, automating complex workflows and building intelligent solutions that transform how merchants handle shipping.
Youre more than a developer - youre a true engineer. Youre hands-on, but youre not just operational: you design, evaluate, and build solutions that scale. Your job is to bring structure to complexity, and ship things that last.
Why ShippyPro
Youll work on a backend that actually scales - millions of API calls, real distributed systems, real trade-offs
Youll shape the architecture, not just implement it
Youll use AI as a genuine engineering tool, not a buzzword
Youll collaborate directly with Product and Design - from idea to delivery
Youll see your work in production fast, with real merchants depending on it
