We’re looking for a Senior Product Full-Stack Engineer focused on front-end development.
Shipup is a mission-critical tool for online retailers, offering best-in-class post-purchase experience to millions of end customers. 

🛍 The role

Context

We want to tackle ambitious changes in our product in the next few quarters, building innovative capabilities that further differentiate our value proposition. To give ourselves the means to achieve this, we’re investing in our product and tech team by opening a third cross-functional squad.
As part of this growth, we are committed to maintaining the same high standard of quality in our user interfaces. We aim to ensure that our front-end best practices are consistently implemented across all squads, supporting our drive for innovation without compromising on excellence.

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 take part in propagating good practices around front-end development within your squad with the help of our Lead Frontend
• You’ll build and improve processes and internal tools with simplicity and productivity in mind.

🙌 The team

You’ll join a team of nineteen (13 technical and 6 product people) led by Léa (our CPTO) and Florian (VP Engineering). This team is currently divided into two squads. We aim to grow that team to twenty-two people by 2025 with the opening of a third squad!

At Shipup, we enjoy working with humble teammates who seek to work collaborative and friendly environment that fosters continuous learning. Our teammates come from diverse educational backgrounds and know how to use & adapt their tools according to the challenges at hand. They care and are proud of how they work, but also why.

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

Team organization

Our Tech & Product team relies on a robust framework, which balances investment in the projects that are most valuable to our customers with the technical evolutions necessary for the good health and maintainability of the product.

• Cross-functional teams following the squad philosophy: each squad has its dedicated Engineering Manager, Product Manager and Product Designer.
• Best-in-class development practices: pair-programming, continuous delivery, slack time, testing, extensive documentation...
• Quarterly roadmap executed in 2-week sprints with integrated feedback loops
• On-call process : each week, a different member of the team is in charge of application monitoring as well as customer requests and issues — a great opportunity to be closer to the end-user and collaborate with other Shipup teams.
