CALLING FOR: Team Leader, Fulfillment Pod

You've spent 5-7 years writing code and growing as an engineer. Now you want to lead.

At ShippyPro, you'll take ownership of the Fulfillment Pod: the team building the systems that move millions of shipments every month.

You'll report directly to our COO, with real influence on how we scale.

If you think in systems, care about your team as much as your code, and want to build something that matters – keep reading 👇

About Us

ShippyPro was founded with a simple mission: make shipping effortless so businesses can focus on growth.

Today we power shipping for thousands of merchants across 60+ countries. We've raised $15M (Series B) and we're scaling fast in a $9T industry that's still full of inefficiencies.

Engineering is at the center of everything. We're modernizing our stack – moving toward Python, TypeScript, and a fully distributed cloud-native architecture on AWS. What you build here runs in production. Every day.

The Product

ShippyPro is building the AI operating system for shipping and fulfillment.

Our platform helps merchants automate and orchestrate the entire delivery workflow — from carrier selection and label generation to tracking, returns, delivery intelligence, and post-purchase operations.

We connect e-commerce platforms, carriers, warehouses, and logistics systems into one unified infrastructure powered by automation, data, and AI-driven workflows.

Our goal is simple: remove operational complexity and help teams make faster, smarter, and more autonomous shipping decisions at scale.

The Challenge

We don't want a manager who tracks velocity.

We want a leader who ships.

The Fulfillment Pod owns the core of what makes ShippyPro work: order management and label generation. Millions of requests, zero room for sloppy engineering.

Your job is to grow the team, raise the bar, and keep shipping – literally and figuratively.

Why ShippyPro?

• You'll lead a pod that owns mission-critical infrastructure, not a side project

• You'll report directly to our COO – real visibility, real influence

• You'll shape how the team works, not just what it builds

• You'll operate at scale: tens of millions of shipments, every month

• You'll use AI as a real part of the workflow, not a buzzword

What You'll Do

• Lead and grow the Fulfillment Pod – hiring, mentoring, and setting the technical bar

• Own the architecture and delivery of core fulfillment systems

• Balance hands-on coding with technical leadership – you're still in the codebase

• Partner with Product and Design to turn roadmap into shipped, scalable features

• Drive performance, scalability, and reliability across the pod's services

• Bring AI into the workflow – automating what can be automated, freeing the team to focus on what matters

• Run the team's rituals: planning, reviews, retros – keep them lean and useful

---

What You'll Bring

• 5-7 years of experience in software engineering, ideally with some in a leadership or mentoring capacity

• Strong knowledge of backend systems (PHP, NodeJS, or Python); our stack uses all three

• Solid grasp of system design, clean architecture, and the trade-offs that come with scale

• Experience leading, mentoring, or growing engineers — technically and personally

• Comfort with ambiguity and fast-changing priorities

• A problem-solver mindset: logical, curious, and allergic to over-engineering

• Fluent in English (written and spoken) - we operate in English

Tools you'll be working with:

• Backend: PHP, NodeJS, Python

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS

• Databases: MySQL, DynamoDB, PostgresQL

• Infrastructure: AWS (ECS, Lambda), Docker

• AI & Automation: OpenAI, Anthropic, ..

---

What Makes You a ShippyProer

• You lead by doing, not just delegating

• You have opinions, but you update them when the data says otherwise

• You care about your team's growth as much as your own

• You don't wait for perfect conditions — you ship and iterate

• You bring calm to complexity, not more of it

A Note Before You Apply

If you want to move on with the application, you'll have to answer a few questions. We love AI (it's part of almost everything we do!) so feel free to use it.
