The Product
Shippy Pro 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.


The Codebase You'll Be Working On
Our platform is built on a solid foundation of modern web technologies, and we are in the middle of a significant modernization effort. Our current tech stack includes:

• Frontend: We utilize React and Type Script for building dynamic and responsive user interfaces, complemented by Tailwind CSS for creating modern, visually appealing UI components.
• Backend: Our backend is primarily built with PHP and Node JS. As we transition to a more distributed architecture, experience with microservices and AWS Lambda is highly valued.
• Testing: We ensure robustness and reliability with strong unit and end-to-end tests using Jest, Cypress, and PHP Unit.
• Design Systems: Storybook is used for developing, testing, and documenting UI components in isolation.
• Databases: My SQL and Dynamo DB are our go-to databases, requiring strong knowledge in database optimization and query performance.
• Caching: Redis is employed for caching to enhance application speed.
• Messaging Buses: We utilize AWS Event Bridge and Rabbit MQ for messaging and event-driven architecture.
• Infrastructure: All our systems run on AWS, leveraging its power and scalability. We use Docker for containerization and AWS ECS for container orchestration and CI/CD pipelines.
• APIs: We offer robust public APIs, requiring a strong understanding of RESTful API design and Graph QL.

We handle millions of requests across the globe, ensuring our systems are robust, scalable, and always available to meet the demands of our customers. We are looking for someone who is not afraid to get their hands dirty, tackle complex challenges, and come up with creative, innovative solutions.


The Development Team: Integration Team
This role reports directly to the COO and you will be leading the Integration team, responsible for expanding and maintaining our core library of integrations towards marketplaces and carriers.
This critical component helps merchants access over 180 carriers around the world and over 80 marketplaces to import orders. Our team is small but highly effective, managing millions of API requests every month with the goal of constantly reducing our average response time. We release regular updates and new features, maintaining a high standard of code quality and performance.
You will play a critical role in maintaining and expanding our extensive library of integrations, focusing on the core of our solution—seamlessly integrating with carriers. You will have the chance to design, develop, and enhance features using PHP, working closely with product managers and team members to turn business requirements into highly efficient technical solutions.
Your role will also include participating in code reviews, testing, debugging, and optimizing our processes, ensuring that our integrations continue to be robust and reliable.

As a part of our small and nimble team, your contributions will be highly valued, and you'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact during this high-growth stage of our company.
