Shypple makes shipping simple.
With our easy-to-use platform and expert services, we are simplifying the complex world of logistics and providing our customers with a seamless shipping experience.
Our platform acts as a centralized dashboard, offering real-time visibility on every aspect of the supply chain and includes a wide range of features such as booking, planning, delivery, and communication possibilities.
As a digital service provider, we are revolutionizing the logistics industry by bringing ease, accountability, and efficiency to the supply chain while lowering hassle, communication, and costs. We believe that the perfect solution to disrupting a traditional industry is a smartly developed system combined with a high-quality customer experience.

Your role as Back-end developer

You will be working on simplifying a traditionally complex business, turning it into an intuitive and worldwide scalable product that enables companies to manage logistics in a more time and cost-efficient way. You’ll join a dedicated squad of 4-5 engineers working on a shipping platform that is growing fast and to which many new features are constantly being added.

Together with the team, you (pro) actively contribute to developing new features and are responsible for the technical future of the platform. Your opinion and ideas really matter at Shypple. You are a senior voice that's genuinely listened to, not a ticket factory.
The focus of this position is on the back-end development of logic on the server-side, the definition and maintenance of our services, and ensuring high performance and responsiveness of the application, and driving the technical evolution of your domains. You will work closely with product owners, analysts, a site reliability engineer, and, of course, your colleague developers.

• Develop and maintain clean, efficient, and scalable Ruby code:

• Own backend features end-to-end in our Ruby on Rails API - from domain modelling and database design through endpoints, service objects, tests, and production rollout;

• Take ownership of a core domain (e.g. financing, performance) and drive its technical evolution;

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and deploy a high-performance application;

• Contribute to platform and architecture decisions: scalability, performance, and reducing tech debt across the codebase;

• Analyzing problems, spotting edge cases, and designing high-quality solutions for them;

• Raise the engineering bar through thorough code review, strong testing discipline, and pragmatic technical guidance to the rest of the squad.

• A great working environment with a team of talented developers who work together for extraordinary success;

• A salary between EUR gross 70.000-95.000 a year (depending on your experience);

• A clear path toward technical leadership or deep domain specialisation;

• Good secondary benefits (e.g. 25 vacation days, pension contribution, in-office breakfast, employee stock option plan);

• The opportunity to be a part of a great adventure where you can grow, develop, and get the best out of yourself, including a yearly budget for personal development;

• An office in the heart of Rotterdam.
