Shipturtle | 5+ years’ experience | Full-time The Challenge: Shipturtle powers multi-vendor marketplaces by connecting merchants, vendors, commerce platforms and fulfilment partners. Our backend currently handles around 2 million API calls a day. We’re setting out to scale that to 15–20 million, while improving speed and reliability. This is an opportunity to take meaningful ownership of the platform’s technical evolution: challenge existing assumptions and make the hard architecture calls. You’ll have the freedom to rethink components and technology choices, not just maintain what already exists. What you will own:
• Own the backend architecture and roadmap for the next stage of scale.
• Find and remove bottlenecks across APIs, databases, queues, caching and background processing.
• Design resilient distributed and event-driven systems for high-volume integrations, webhooks and unpredictable traffic.
• Modernize the platform where it makes sense, choosing pragmatically between improving the current stack, modularizing services and introducing recent technologies.
• Improve database performance, data access patterns, concurrency and operational reliability.
• Partner with engineering leads,



write and review code, lead critical implementations and raise the team’s engineering standards.
• Work with infrastructure colleagues on capacity, observability, availability and cloud cost efficiency. What you bring
• 5+ years building backend systems, including hands-on experience scaling applications.
• Strong fundamentals in system design, distributed systems, concurrency, API design and performance engineering.
• Deep practical experience with relational databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL, plus caching and messaging technologies.
• Experience with backend frameworks such as Laravel/PHP, Java/Spring Boot, Node.js or comparable technologies. Why this is a meaningful role:
• A real scale challenge to integrate a heavy SaaS platform through an ambitious 8-10x growth.
• Real ownership: influence foundational architecture and technical direction.
• Real engineering: work on complex data, event processing, multi-tenant workloads and third-party platform integrations. Interested? Share
