Role Description

We are currently undertaking a major initiative to integrate AI capabilities across our platform, automating complex workflows and delivering intelligent solutions that transform how merchants handle shipping. If you're ready to tackle real engineering challenges and shape the future of our product, we'd love to hear from you!

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.

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

About you:

• 5+ years of experience in web development (full-stack or backend-heavy)
• Strong knowledge of PHP (Laravel or similar); experience with NodeJS and Python is a plus
• Solid understanding of system design, clean architecture, and engineering trade-offs
• A problem-solver mindset: logical, curious, and solution-oriented
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, distributed team with high standards
• Fluent in English (written and spoken)
• A team player who thrives in collaboration and embraces challenges with enthusiasm
• Experience working on SaaS products or platforms is highly valued
• Experience with AI/ML integration, LLMs, or building intelligent automation is a strong plus

Why join us?

• Our mission: we make a real-world impact by simplifying shipping for e-commerce businesses worldwide — automation, tracking, returns and much more, all in one platform
• Our values: wow moments, fall forward, transparency, ambition, innovation and a healthy dose of “question everything”
• Continuous learning: yearly learning budget, AI tools like GitHub Copilot, and internal tech sessions
• Remote flexibility: work from wherever you like — as long as you value knowledge-sharing and enjoy spending time with your mates during our onsite meetups
• Career Growth Programs: clear growth paths and structured goals for every role, supported by a continuous feedback system that values honesty and transparency, on both sides
• Perks: meal vouchers (remote or onsite), no clock-in/out policy, one-time home office allowance, company welfare, mental healthcare and expenses-paid trips to HQ for our meetups

Our hiring process

• 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.
• 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.
• Technical skills assessment: This includes a practical evaluation of your technical skills, such as a live coding challenge.

Thanks for considering joining our team. We look forward to hearing from you!
