About You:

Building the world’s leading full-stack fulfillment platform is challenging work. The problems we solve are complex, the pace is fast, and the bar is high.

If you are ready to take ownership, push boundaries, and grow alongside a team that genuinely supports each other, we would love to hear from you.

About Us:

ShipBob is a leading global supply chain and fulfillment technology platform designed for SMB and Mid-Market ecommerce merchants to provide them access to best-in-class capabilities and to deliver a delightful shopper experience. Merchants can outsource their entire fulfillment operations, utilize ShipBob’s proprietary warehouse management system for in-house fulfillment, or take advantage of a hybrid solution across ShipBob’s dozens of fulfillment center network in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. ShipBob is backed by leading investors like Menlo Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, Hyde Park Venture Partners, and SoftBank Vision Fund 2, and is one of the fastest-growing tech companies headquartered in Chicago.

At ShipBob, every full-time employee gets access to our best-in-class AI and productivity tools from Day 1 at no cost. This isn't a pilot or a perk for select teams. It's standard for everyone. We believe innovation isn't owned by one department. Whether you're in Talent, Operations, Finance, Engineering, or Customer Success, we expect you to ask: how can this be done better, faster, or smarter? These tools are our investment in your ability to find those answers.

We may use AI-powered tools during our interview process to support things like notetaking and organizing feedback so our teams can stay focused on getting to know you. These tools help create a more consistent and thoughtful experience. That said, every hiring decision is made by a human.
