[Hiring] Graduate / Junior Software Engineer @ShippyPro

Role Description

You're early in your career – maybe just out of university, maybe a year or two in. You can code. You care about doing it well. And you want to work on something that actually runs in production, not just toy projects or internal dashboards nobody uses.

At ShippyPro, we're looking for a Graduate / Junior Software Engineer to join our Tracking & Notifications team – the team that makes sure every shipment update reaches the right person at the right time, at scale.

You'll work alongside experienced engineers who want to see you grow, not just get tickets done. Real ownership, real feedback, real growth.

If you write clean code, ask sharp questions, and get genuinely curious when something breaks – keep reading.

What You’ll Do

• Contribute to the development and evolution of our tracking and notification services
• Write, review, and ship code that runs at high volume in production
• Work closely with our engineering team on design decisions, code reviews, and day-to-day problem solving
• Collaborate with a distributed, international team across product, engineering, and operations
• Get hands-on with microservices, event-driven systems, and cloud-native development on AWS
• Use AI tools daily as part of our development workflow

Qualifications

• A strong foundation in software engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, clean code, version control
• Hands-on experience with databases (relational or NoSQL) you’ve written real queries and thought about data
• Genuine curiosity: you don’t need to know everything, but you need to want to figure things out
• Enthusiasm for working with AI – both as a dev tool and as part of what we build
• Professional working proficiency in English (our team is international)

Requirements

• Nice to have – not blockers, but they’ll help you hit the ground running:
• A degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
• Experience with Python, TypeScript or PHP
• Familiarity with cloud services or distributed systems from projects, internships, or personal work
• Our stack – you don’t need to know all of this on day one, but this is the environment you’ll grow into:
• Languages: Python and TypeScript (primary), PHP (also present)
• Databases: PostgreSQL, Aurora, Redshift, DynamoDB
• Infrastructure: AWS, Serverless Framework
• Version control & CI/CD: Git, GitHub, GitHub Actions

Benefits

• Competitive salary between €28,000 and €35,000, calculated through our salary simulator – built on objective metrics, because we believe in unbiased compensation
• Meal vouchers (office or remote)
• Mental healthcare
• Yearly learning budget and AI tools
• Remote flexibility with expenses-paid trips to HQ for team meetups
• No clock-in/out policy and one-time home office allowance
• Career Growth Program – clear growth paths, structured goals, and continuous feedback
• An international team that moves fast and cares about building things well

Hiring Process

• Application review
• Intro call – 45-60 min with our People and Culture Team to align on expectations and context
• Technical interview: a deep-dive with the engineering team on how you think and work
• Final challenge: a short, practical coding exercise to see how you approach a real engineering problem

A Note Before You Apply

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.

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