Principal Solutions Architect at Shippo

**Who this is for** This role is designed for a seasoned engineering leader with over 10 years of software development experience and at least 5 years of people management. You should be a technical strategist who can bridge the gap between high-level enterprise partnerships and hands-on API design. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in server-side languages (Go, Python, or Ruby) and a background in building scalable integration architectures. **Key highlights** The compensation for this role is highly competitive, with a standard base pay range of $212k–$287k (anchoring at a $250k midpoint), plus equity and comprehensive benefits. As a remote-first organization, Shippo offers significant flexibility and unique perks like a "take-as-much-as-you-need" vacation policy, a company-wide winter slowdown, and a dedicated WFH stipend. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have experience designing complex API integrations for enterprise clients or XMS platforms (OMS/WMS/TMS). * Enjoy mentoring senior architects and defining team-wide standards for technical delivery. * Are comfortable moving between high-level architectural planning and deep-dive coding in Python or Go. * Want to play a lead role in shaping the infrastructure for global e-commerce logistics.
