Software Engineer III, Carrier Integrations Platform at Shippo

This role is ideal for a senior-level Backend Engineer with a strong foundation in Python and a passion for building internal platforms. You should have at least 6 years of professional experience, specifically focusing on creating reusable components, APIs, and shared libraries that help other engineers work more efficiently. Since this is a "Carrier Integrations Platform" role, a background in building scalable frameworks or SDKs is a significant advantage. Shippo is a remote-first, globally distributed company, and this specific position is open to candidates in Brazil (hired via Rippling). You’ll benefit from a culture that emphasizes autonomy and modern workflows, including the active use of AI tools to accelerate development. The role offers a clear path toward technical ownership, allowing you to move from executing well-scoped components to making broader architectural decisions. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have 6+ years of experience, including 2+ years of production Python. * Enjoy "meta" engineering—building the tools, templates, and recipes that other developers use. * Are proficient with various API protocols (REST, SOAP, gRPC) and server-side frameworks like Django or FastAPI. * Use AI coding assistants daily to improve your velocity and code quality.
