Job Description
Software Engineer III, Data Product
Shippo
• Build and maintain Python (FastAPI) services with async patterns suited to high-throughput, low-latency workloads. • Design and implement event-driven integrations (Kafka) to keep data products synchronized with upstream business events. • Architect PostgreSQL data models that balance query performance with auditability and long-term maintainability. • Develop APIs that power customer-facing data products—spanning business rules automation, ML-based recommendations, analytics, and configuration systems. • Build and own React UI surfaces for customer-facing data product features—including management interfaces, dashboards, and configuration tools. • Collaborate with design and product to translate requirements into polished, accessible interfaces.
Job Requirements
- 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, including meaningful full-stack work.
- Strong Python backend skills; FastAPI experience preferred.
- Comfortable with async programming, dependency injection, and structured API design.
- Hands-on experience with event-driven systems (Kafka or equivalent) and designing for eventual consistency.
- Solid PostgreSQL skills: schema design, query optimization, migrations, and data modeling at scale.
- Production-level React experience: component architecture, state management, API integration, and UI testing.
Benefits
- Flexible work arrangements
- Professional development opportunities
