Logistics • Marketing • Consulting

Shippo is a shipping and logistics API and SaaS platform for e-commerce businesses. It provides tools to compare carrier rates, create and buy shipping labels, track packages, and manage returns through a branded short domain and developer-friendly integrations. Shippo targets online retailers and marketplaces looking to streamline shipping operations and reduce fulfillment costs.

📋 Description

• Build and own components of the rule evaluation engine — the decision logic at the heart of Data Products — including authoring rules, evaluating them at scale, and exposing results to downstream systems. • Develop backend services in Python (FastAPI) that handle high-throughput, low-latency evaluation workloads. • Work with event-driven infrastructure (Kafka or equivalent) to integrate the engine with upstream data sources and downstream consumers. • Design and evolve data models that support auditability, versioning, and reproducibility of rule outcomes. • Build React interfaces that let merchants and internal users configure rules, inspect evaluations, and trust the system. • Contribute across the full spectrum of the Data Products team’s work—business rules automation, ML-based APIs, customer-facing analytics, and intelligent recommendation systems. • Partner with Data Science, Analytics Engineering, and Product to translate analytical signals into productionized decisions. • Instrument what you ship: write meaningful tests, add metrics and tracing, and use production data to validate that changes landed as intended. • Participate in team oncall and incident response for the services you own. • Contribute to API design, service decomposition, and cross-team technical reviews as you grow into broader ownership. • Help onboard new team members and share knowledge through code reviews, design docs, and pairing. • Use AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor) effectively in your daily workflow and contribute to evolving team norms around them.

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2 years shipping production full-stack features. • Strong Python backend skills; FastAPI (or comparable async Python framework) experience preferred. • Hands-on experience with event-driven systems (Kafka or equivalent) in production. • Solid PostgreSQL skills, including schema design, indexing, and query performance. • Production-level React experience, including state management and integration with backend APIs. • Comfortable shipping behind feature flags, instrumenting code for observability, and iterating based on production signal. • Practiced at writing tests (unit and integration) and treating reliability as part of the work, not a follow-up task. • Strong written communication; able to write a clear design doc, scope a feature, and unblock yourself across teams. • Curious about the domain — willing to learn the shipping and logistics context deeply enough to make good product calls.

🏖️ Benefits

• Healthcare coverage for medical, dental, and vision (90% covered by the company, incl. dependents). • Pets coverage is also available! • Take-as-much-as-you-need vacation policy & flexible working hours • One week-long company wide winter slow down • 3 Volunteer Days Off (VTOs) • WFH stipend to set up your home office • Charity donation match up to $100 • Dedicated programs, coaching, tools, and resources for your professional and career growth as well as an individual learning stipend for your personal and focused growth • Fun team in person time through our Shippos Everywhere program which includes regular team and company off-sites throughout the year as well as local Shippos gatherings
