- You’ll join the small, high-trust team that owns EasyPost’s most critical, highest-traffic platform — the USPS PC Postage system — and play a key role in our journey to the cloud

- O Collaborate and influence - work hand-in-hand with product managers and other engineers to translate big ideas into rock-solid architecture
- O Raise the bar - participate in peer reviews, mentor teammates, and bring modern Go best practices (gRPC, microservices patterns, performance tuning) into the codebase
- O Solve real problems - troubleshoot production issues in high-throughput, low-latency environments without downtime
- O Document for the future - create clear technical docs so the next engineer can pick up right where you left off
- O Continuously improve - bring fresh ideas from the industry to improve speed, scalability, reliability, and developer experience
- O Test like you mean it - build and run automated unit, integration, and performance tests to ensure we ship with confidence
- O Work smart with tools - use Git and other version control systems to manage complex, distributed workflows
Our take
EasyPost's multi-carrier shipping API provides eCommerce businesses with seamless solutions to manage logistics. The platform allows companies to easily switch between shipping providers, track packages, and verify addresses. Saving businesses time and money and in turn, simplifying what would otherwise be a complex process.
When EasyPost emerged from stealth in 2013, it was widely recognised as the "Stripe for shipping". A comparison stemming from the company's ability to enable developers to integrate postage and shipping features into web applications. Which, at the time, was something legacy carriers like FedEx and UPS weren't taking advantage of.
As e-commerce has grown, EasyPost has expanded its reach and is now available in over 200 countries. It now offers Amazon Shipping, cementing its position as a market leader.
