Quick Summary
Junior Developer – Tracking & Notifications
Work on high-volume systems with real scale and real users. If you're early in your career, perhaps a recent university graduate or with a year or two of experience, and you're passionate about writing quality code that runs in production, ShippyPro offers a unique opportunity.
We are seeking a Graduate / Junior Software Engineer to join our dedicated Tracking & Notifications team. This team is crucial for ensuring every shipment update reaches the correct person at the right time, at scale.
You will collaborate with experienced engineers committed to your growth, providing real ownership, constructive feedback, and significant development opportunities. If you excel at writing clean code, asking insightful questions, and possess genuine curiosity when encountering technical issues, we encourage you to read further.
About Us
ShippyPro was founded with the mission to simplify shipping, enabling businesses to concentrate on growth. We currently facilitate shipping for thousands of merchants across more than 60 countries. Having secured $15M in Series B funding, we are rapidly expanding within a $9T industry still ripe with inefficiencies.
Engineering is central to our operations. We are actively modernizing our technology stack, transitioning towards Python, TypeScript, and a fully distributed cloud-native architecture on AWS. The code you develop here will be deployed and run in production daily.
The Product
ShippyPro is a comprehensive shipping and fulfillment platform designed to automate the entire shipping workflow for merchants. This includes selecting optimal carrier services, generating shipping labels, and tracking deliveries. Our platform integrates with various e-commerce platforms and multiple couriers, providing teams with a unified solution to ship faster, minimize manual tasks, and maintain full control over costs and delivery performance.
The Challenge
We seek proactive individuals who can investigate, understand, and ask pertinent questions rather than waiting for perfect requirements. The Tracking & Notifications team manages high-volume, time-sensitive data. Shipments move rapidly, errors can emerge unexpectedly, and customers consistently expect precise order tracking information.
Your role involves contributing to systems that operate reliably, handle edge cases gracefully, and scale efficiently. The challenges are significant, and robust support will be provided.
Why ShippyPro?
For a junior developer, the initial role profoundly influences career development, shaping habits, internalizing patterns, and setting personal standards. At ShippyPro, you will not be left to navigate a queue of tickets alone. You will work on systems operating at real scale, with engineers who advocate for clean code and are dedicated to mentoring. Our code reviews foster conversations, not just approvals.
Our technology stack is modern and continuously evolving, featuring Python, TypeScript, AWS, and an event-driven architecture. We prioritize deprecating outdated systems over maintaining legacy code. Furthermore, AI is an integral part of both our development processes and the products we build, not merely a buzzword.
If you aspire to quickly develop into an autonomous engineer, this environment is ideal for your growth.
