At Shipup, we enjoy working with humble engineers who seek to work in a learning, collaborative and friendly environment.

Our developers come from diverse education backgrounds and know how to use & adapt their tools according to the challenges. They do care and are proud of how they do their stuff but also why.

They enjoy contributing to the company & product activities that allow them to make an impact beyond the code itself. 

Today, we’re looking for Back-end Engineers whose main missions will be to :

1. build new product features
2. optimize our current platform (code, test, scalability)
3. onboard new clients, integrate new e-commerce platforms and carriers

🙌 Our team

You’ll join a team of fifteen (8 technical people, 1 product director, 2 product managers & 2 product designers) led by Quentin (our CTO & CPO) and Florian (VP Engineering)

This team is divided into two squads :

  Team members : Aliou (Lead dev), Thomas, Jean and Arthur (Developers)

• Merchant perceived value : this squad has the ownership of all features that benefit directly the Merchants. Squad members will focus on providing our merchant’s operations and CS teams with the tools and resources they need to be successful.
  Team members : Simon (Lead dev), Hugo, Kevin and Baptiste (Developers)

👩‍💻 Organization & How the team works

Our Tech & Product team relies on a robust framework, which allows developers to work on the projects that are most valuable to our customers and also considers the technical evolutions necessary for the good health and maintainability of the product. 

• Multidisciplinary teams following the squad philosophy : get one Lead Developer, one Product Manager and one Product Designer in each team

• Good & recognized development practices : review groups, pair-programming, continous delivery, slack time, extensive documentations... 

• Quarterly roadmap executed in 2 weeks sprints with integrated feedback loops 

• On-call process : each week, a different member of the team has to take care of the application monitoring as well as cutomer requests and issues. It's a great opportunity to be closer to the end-user and collaborate with other Shipup teams.
