Graduate / Junior Software Engineer

CALLING FOR: Junior Developer – Tracking & Notifications High-volume systems. Real scale. Real users. 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. About Us ShippyPro was founded with a simple mission: make shipping effortless so businesses can focus on growth. Today we power shipping for thousands of merchants across 60+ countries. We've raised $15M (Series B) and we're scaling fast in a $9T industry that's still full of inefficiencies. Engineering is at the center of everything. We're modernizing our stack – moving toward Python, TypeScript, and a fully distributed cloud-native architecture on AWS. What you build here runs in production. Every day. 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 We don't want someone who waits for perfect requirements. We want someone who digs in, figures it out, and asks the right questions along the way. The Tracking & Notifications team handles high-volume, time-sensitive data. Shipments move fast. Errors surface unexpectedly. Customers expect to know exactly where their order is – always. Your job is to contribute to systems that don't fail silently, handle edge cases gracefully, and scale without drama. The challenge is real. So is the support around you. Why ShippyPro? For a junior developer, the first job shapes everything — the habits you build, the patterns you internalize, the standard you set for yourself. At ShippyPro, you’ll not be handed a queue of tickets and left to figure it out alone. You’ll work on systems that run at real scale, with engineers who have strong opinions about clean code and care about passing that on. Code reviews here are conversations, not just approvals. The stack is modern and actively evolving: Python, TypeScript, AWS, event-driven architecture. We’re not maintaining legacy for the sake of it; we deprecate what no longer serves us. And AI isn’t a buzzword here – it’s part of how we develop and part of what we build. If you want to grow into an autonomous engineer fast, this is the environment to do it.
