EDIT: Application period ended. At Shipit, we simplify business logistics and make package shipping easy. Thousands of companies and individuals use our service daily, and hundreds of thousands of shipments are sent through us annually.
The continuous development of our service enables us to serve our customers better day by day, and we are now looking for a skilled PHP developer to join us. You can choose your work location yourself, and currently, we have team members from Åland to Kuopio.
What kind of team?
Our product development team is moderately sized, autonomous, and genuinely agile. We don't bow to managers, and our goal is to create an enjoyable workplace. Everyone is responsible for their own work, but the biggest decisions are made together as a team. We trust, help, support, and respect each other. We're quite down-to-earth people and avoid unnecessary startup and agency hype.
Job description:
You will be an important part of our product development and participate in many aspects of developing our service - from service architecture design to API and front-end development. Ideally, you have previous experience with various and versatile development work.
However, we understand very well that all-rounders exist mainly in fairy tales. In the end, our recruitment decision will be based on how your skills complement our current expertise, what you want to learn, what motivates you, and how you could fit into our team.
Technologies
We use the TALL stack (Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, Laravel, Livewire) for development. For future components requiring more substantial JavaScript, we will likely use either Vue.js, ReactJS, or Svelte - depending on the team's preferences. On the backend, we are committed to the Laravel ecosystem, but regarding the frontend, our stack may still evolve in the future. However, we deliberately try to avoid SPA (single page application) architecture as long as possible, so for us, full-stack means more PHP, HTML, and CSS and less JavaScript.
Why Shipit?
High-level professionals as your colleagues
Opportunity to develop your skills
A system built with modern and well-thought-out tools
Long-term product development
We build a comfortable workplace together
We offer lots of work-related freedom
We support and help each other

Other employee benefits (work equipment, fitness, internet, occupational healthcare, etc.)
As a company, we are down-to-earth but internationally growing
What we expect from our new colleague?
Communication skills in Finnish and English
Problem-solving ability
Self-direction, activity, and ability to take responsibility
HTML & CSS basics
Modern PHP skills (we currently use 7.4)
Laravel (8)
MySQL/MariaDB
Git
We know that Laravel experts are not abundant in Finland, so we are primarily looking for a skilled PHP developer. Some of our current developers have, for example, transitioned to Laravel from WordPress work. The most important thing is that you feel confident in solving problems with PHP. You can learn our stack's practices on the job.
Bonus points:
JavaScript (Vanilla / Alpine.js / Vue.js / ReactJS / Svelte)
Deeper HTML and CSS knowledge
SysOps
Linux (Ubuntu)
Broader security expertise
UX/UI expertise
Experience in logistics software projects
Experience with logistics company APIs is a plus (UPS, Posti, Matkahuolto, Unifaun).
