Original posting
San Francisco, CA - Onsite or Remote - Shyp
Need to mail something? Request a pickup in the Shyp app, we'll pick it up from you, package it, and find the best deal out of UPS, Fedex & USPS to get your items to their location safely, cheaply & on time.
5 server-side engineers are serving operations in 5 cities. We just raised $50m and we're looking for engineers to help us grow.
Lots of interesting problems to work on, including:
- Dispatch and demand prediction - recently we announced we're making all Shyp couriers full time employees, http://blog.shyp.com/shyp-ceo-note/
- Standardizing shipping options and warehouse flow
- Scaling engineering - bit.ly/1fZsGG7 for example
Some of the benefits of the job:
- No getting paged in the middle of the night! Open hours are 8am to 8pm.
- Whatever laptop setup you want, and $400 a year in travel credit.
- Postgres and all timestamps are UTC
- Everyone leaves the office at 6pm sharp.
We'd love to talk to you! You can't waste our time by getting in touch. We'll answer all your questions and tell you a little more about what our interview process looks like.

Re: Remote opportunities - We are super interested in hiring great people who can't move to SF. We believe our processes can support remote work, but we understand this is a hard thing for us to assert with confidence. That said, we are extremely interested in building remote-work processes that scale - let's talk!
Not looking, but based in SOMA? You might be interested in our lunchtime tech talks - ping me, burke+talks@shyp.com.
