Senior Software Engineer (Pooling)

Shipmates is a platform that helps online businesses connect to local couriers. Our customers get to sign up, connect their Shopify or WooCommerce stores, select a courier for their orders, and then book and track their orders. And our goal is to make shipping as frictionless as possible. We’ve also just finished closing our seed round and are looking for someone to help us grow the product.

We’re looking for someone who has experience building a successful product or service or has at least helped one reach product-market fit, someone who can help us grow the team down the line, and someone who is game to build out the logistics infrastructure of the Philippines.
