Original posting

San Francisco, CA - Onsite or Remote - Shyp Need to mail something? Request a pickup in the Shyp app, we'll pick it up from you, package it, and find the best deal out of UPS, Fedex & USPS to get your items to their location safely, cheaply & on time. 5 server-side engineers are serving operations in 5 cities. We just raised $50m and we're looking for engineers to help us grow. Lots of interesting problems to work on, including: - Dispatch and demand prediction - recently we announced we're making all Shyp couriers full time employees, http://blog.shyp.com/shyp-ceo-note/ - Standardizing shipping options and warehouse flow - Scaling engineering - bit.ly/1fZsGG7 for example Some of the benefits of the job: - No getting paged in the middle of the night! Open hours are 8am to 8pm. - Whatever laptop setup you want, and $400 a year in travel credit. - Postgres and all timestamps are UTC - Everyone leaves the office at 6pm sharp. We'd love to talk to you! You can't waste our time by getting in touch. We'll answer all your questions and tell you a little more about what our interview process looks like. Please drop me a line - burke@shyp.com, or check out our jobs page - https://shyp.com/jobs Re: Remote opportunities - We are super interested in hiring great people who can't move to SF. We believe our processes can support remote work, but we understand this is a hard thing for us to assert with confidence. That said, we are extremely interested in building remote-work processes that scale - let's talk! Not looking, but based in SOMA?
