Backend Engineer Opportunity At ShippyPro

You're the kind of engineer who reads a pull request and immediately spots the architectural decision hiding behind it. 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 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.

Our journey began with a vision to Make people work better – and today, following our Series B funding round of $15M, we're transforming how companies worldwide deliver their products.

Engineering is at the core of everything we do. We're modernizing our architecture, integrating AI across the platform, and moving fast without cutting corners. Our backend – built on PHP Laravel, with NodeJS and Python in the mix – is evolving into a microservices architecture handling millions of global requests. The work is real: designing scalable services, integrating AI into shipping workflows, making distributed systems actually reliable.

Your job is to bring structure to complexity, and ship things that last.

You'll work on a backend that actually scales – millions of API calls, real distributed systems, real trade-offs

You'll use AI as a genuine engineering tool, not a buzzword
