You’ll join a team of **nineteen** (13 technical and 6 product people) led by Léa (our CPTO) and Florian (VP of Engineering). The team is currently divided into two cross-functional squads. Our aim is to grow that team to **twenty-two** people by 2025 with the opening of a third squad

At Shipup, we enjoy working with **humble** teammates **who seek to work collaborative and friendly environment that fosters continuous learning**. Our teammates come **from diverse educational backgrounds** and know how to use & adapt their tools according to the challenges at hand.

Our Tech & Product team relies on **a robust framework**, which balances investment in the projects that are most valuable to our customers with the technical evolutions necessary for the good health and maintainability of the product.
- **Cross-functional teams** following the **squad philosophy**: each squad has its dedicated Engineering Manager, Product Manager and Product Designer.
