📕 Context

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.

🛍 As a Full-stack engineer @Shipup

Today, we’re looking for a Full-stack engineer 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

Depending on your progress, you will be able to grow as an expert or a manager. Our level criteria are organized into two major sections: scope & impact and behaviors.

Missions

• You’ll help us scale Shipup as a mission critical tool for online retailers to offer best-in-class post-purchase experience to their millions of customers.
• You’ll build new product features from start to finish : through conception, research, documentation, maintenance, and polish.
• You’ll build improvements to performance, reliability.
• You’ll work on key initiatives to keep our system elegant and productivity high — such as improving our code, monitoring and infrastructure and building out our testing framework.
• You’ll build and improve processes and internal tools with simplicity and productivity in mind.

🙌 Our team

You’ll join a team of fourteen (9 technical people, 2 product managers & 1 product designer) led by Quentin (our CTO & CPO) and Florian (VP Engineering).

This team is divided into two squads :

• Online-shopper perceived value : this squad has the ownership of all features that are directly dedicated to end-customers. Squad members will focus on features for which the benefits are mainly perceived by / or directed towards the latter.
• 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.

👩‍💻 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, continuous 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 customer requests and issues. It’s a great opportunity to be closer to the end-user and collaborate with other Shipup teams.

You can learn more about our internal organization, technical challenges, methods and approaches thanks to our engineering blog and engineering page on Welcome to the Jungle.
