The Product

ShippyPro is the platform that simplifies shipping and fulfillment processes for merchants, helping them automate and speed up their operations. We are currently undertaking a major initiative to modernize our tech stack to a fully distributed system to support our business growth for the coming years.

Who You Are

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.

If you're ready to tackle real engineering challenges and shape the future of our product, we’d love to hear from you!

The Codebase You'll Be Working On

We’re on a mission to scale and modernize our platform, making it more powerful and efficient. Our backend, built with PHP, NodeJS and Python, is evolving into a microservices‑based architecture with Serverless and Stateful services to handle millions of global requests seamlessly.

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 architectural choices.
• 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
• 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

The Development Team

We’re a high‑impact, fast‑moving team managing millions of API requests every month. We focus on performance, scalability, and continuous improvement, shipping regular updates and new features. Here, your work truly matters and you’ll have the opportunity to make a real difference!

• 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

• Fluent in English (written and spoken)
