[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @ShippyPro

Role Description

You're 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 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 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.

What You'll Do

• Design and build scalable backend services in various languages
• Architect microservices and contribute to our distributed systems evolution
• Be hands-on with a big-picture mindset: you'll code, but also lead technical design and explore creative applications of AI
• Integrate AI and LLMs to automate workflows and reduce manual work for merchants
• Own performance and reliability – we handle millions of shipments every month
• Collaborate with Product and Design from discovery through delivery
• Write clean, tested, production-ready code – and hold the bar for the team

Qualifications

• 5+ years of backend development experience
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• Solid understanding of system design, clean architecture, and engineering trade-offs
• Experience with microservices, async patterns, and distributed systems

• Fluent in English (written and spoken – we work in English)
• Experience on SaaS products or platforms is highly valued

Requirements

• Hands-on experience across our stack
• Experience with AI/ML integration, LLMs, or intelligent automation

• No clock-in/out policy and one-time home office allowance
• Birthday Time Off – one extra day off, just for you!
• Career Growth Program – clear growth paths, structured goals, and continuous feedback
• An international team that moves fast and cares about building things well

Our Hiring Process

• High-level technical interview with a Team Leader discussing your technical experience and problem-solving approach
• Technical skills assessment including a practical evaluation of your technical skills

A Note Before You Apply

If you want to move on with the application, you'll have to answer a few questions. We love AI (it's part of almost everything we do!) so feel free to use it, but make sure your answers still sound like you. We're not looking for polished corporate responses – we're looking for builders.

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