Software Engineer, WMS & Order Management
Ship Captain | Greenwood Village, CO | Full-time, On Site
About Ship Captain
Ship Captain helps ecommerce sellers, fulfillment teams, and growing businesses bring their shipping operations together. Our platform connects carriers, sales channels, and warehouse systems through secure, direct API integrations, giving customers one place to manage orders, inventory, fulfillment, shipping, and analytics.
Our mission is to help businesses ship smarter, reduce complexity, and grow through better technology, stronger carrier partnerships, and dedicated support.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to help take our Warehouse Management System and Order Management System from a strong foundation to fully established products.
You’ll combine hands-on engineering with an understanding of warehouse operations to build reliable workflows across receiving, inventory, picking, packing, shipping, and returns. You’ll also develop the services and integrations that keep orders and inventory synchronized across marketplaces, carriers, and warehouse systems.
Success means warehouse teams can fulfill orders with confidence, inventory stays accurate, and operational exceptions are handled before they become customer problems. This role offers meaningful ownership in a small team. You’ll help shape the roadmap, build and launch features, and remain responsible for how they perform in real operations.
What You’ll Do
- Own WMS and order management features from requirements and technical design through implementation, testing, launch, and ongoing improvement.
- Help shape the product roadmap across receiving, inventory management, picking, packing, fulfillment, and returns.
- Build reliable order flows across sales channels and marketplaces, creating reusable integrations that make each new channel easier to support.
- Develop and maintain secure APIs and backend services connecting carriers, marketplaces, and warehouse systems.
- Partner directly with customers and internal teams to validate features against how warehouses actually operate.
- Design for complex scenarios, including partial shipments, split orders, inventory discrepancies, cancellations, and returns.
- Define release readiness through practical test plans, real-world scenarios, and automated unit and integration coverage.
- Improve application performance, database efficiency, scalability, and production reliability.
- Contribute across our TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Go stack on AWS.
- Strengthen code quality and development workflows through code reviews, CI/CD, monitoring, and thoughtful architectural decisions.
What You’ll Bring
- Experience shipping and maintaining production software in a startup or product-driven environment.
- Hands-on experience building or supporting WMS, OMS, inventory, or fulfillment software, with a practical understanding of warehouse workflows.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript, React, and Next.js, along with experience developing backend services and RESTful APIs.
- Experience with relational databases, data modeling, and maintaining data consistency across connected systems.
- Experience testing complex applications with multiple states, dependencies, and operational exceptions.
- A solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, software design, and maintainable programming practices.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to trace issues across orders, inventory, integrations, and application behavior.
- Clear communication skills and comfort working directly with engineers, customers, and warehouse operators.
- A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Additional Experience We Value
- Go development and AWS infrastructure.
- Carrier and marketplace integrations.
- Barcode scanning, shipping labels, and warehouse hardware workflows.
- Docker, Kubernetes, or other containerization tools.
- Microservices, asynchronous processing, and data-intensive systems.
- Thoughtful use of AI development tools, with responsibility for the quality and correctness of the resulting code.
How You’ll Work
You enjoy investigating why inventory counts disagree and fixing the underlying cause. You anticipate exceptions, make sound trade-offs between speed and durability, and protect customer data as you build.
You’re comfortable explaining a technical decision to a warehouse manager, demonstrating a feature to a customer, and helping your teammates understand what you’ve learned. You take ownership beyond launch and use real feedback to improve the product.
At Ship Captain, you’ll work closely with the people building and using the platform, with a direct opportunity to influence both the software and the operations it supports.
