Software Engineer III, CCAP

Shipping & handling responsibilities

• Design, build, and deliver software components of our carrier integration platform, including new code, refactoring, and deprecating what no longer serves us.
• Build and maintain carrier API integrations, improving the reliability and maintainability of existing ones as you go.
• Own the end-to-end quality of your work, from design through build, release, and monitoring in production.
• Partner with product, support, and other engineering teams to understand what capabilities they need from carriers, and turn that into working software.
• Build internal tools that improve how Shippo launches, operates, and troubleshoots carrier integrations.
• Contribute to the team's technical direction through story refinement, design reviews, and code reviews, raising the quality bar for everyone.
• Participate in the on-call rotation, responding with urgency to operational issues and owning resolution within your area.
• Contribute to the growth of your teammates through peer review, design feedback, documentation, and helping new hires ramp up.

Your shipping requirements

• 4+ years of experience building and shipping production software.
• A track record of delivering software components independently, from design through release and monitoring.
• Experience working with third-party APIs and integrations, and the messiness that comes with them.
• Comfort debugging and operating distributed systems in production, including participating in on-call.
• Strong written and verbal communication in English, with the ability to work effectively with stakeholders across teams and time zones.
• Experience giving and receiving thoughtful code and design feedback, and a genuine interest in helping teammates improve.
• A working knowledge of at least one of Python or Go, and the ability to become effective in the other.

We know that no candidate matches every bullet. If you're close and excited about the problem, we'd like to hear from you.
