Hello. We are ShipHero (https://shiphero.com). We have built a software platform entrusted by hundreds of ecommerce companies, large and small to run their operations. Many of our customers sell on Shopify and/or Amazon. We’re driven to help our customers grow their businesses, by providing a platform that solves complex problems, and is engineered to be reliable and fast. We are obsessed with building great technology, that is beautiful and easy to use. Our culture also reflects our ethos and belief that by bringing passionate, talented and great people together - you can do great things.
Our team is remote, with all our engineers either in New York or Argentina (BS AS and Mar del Plata). We do daily stand-ups via Google Hangouts and communicate regularly using video chat and Slack.
We are hiring an API Architect to implement V3 of our API. You can see the current version of the API docs at http://bit.ly/2IrPNGE The API will be in GraphQL with REST as a layer on top so we can support less-sophisticated integrations and will accomplish 3 major goals:
- Address some mistakes we made in the previous API design that makes the API unintuitive to learn to use
- We will be building an app-store on top of the new API, so that the developers working on the ShipHero API can more easily be found and sell their software to more ShipHero customers. The API needs to support permissions and multiple apps per account using it.
- Improve speed and reliability. This is not a major issue yet, but already about US$1billion is being shipping through ShipHero and that number will be 10X in 2 years, so we need to make sure our API is robust and reliable.
We are hiring engineers in American timezones only for right now.
