About Shipium

Shipium is on a mission to solve the ‘Prime problem’ that modern retailers face today—how to make fast, free and on-time delivery promises a cornerstone of the customer’s shopping experience. We’re building tech that connects previously fragmented systems and automates complex supply chain decisions to deliver speed and value across operations.

Shipium was founded in 2019 by supply chain leaders from Amazon and Zulily, and recently raised the largest Series A in logistics tech history backed by world-class investors like Insight Partners, Trilogy Ventures, and Pioneer Square Labs.

As Senior UX designer, you’ll be responsible for turning customer problems and needs into intuitive, beautiful data-driven solutions. You have a passion for designing effective digital experiences that are informed by customer research and testing, industry best practices and business needs. You use your keen sense of empathy, strong storytelling skills and polished program management techniques to deliver user-focused work in a fast-paced and complex startup environment.

Helping our external customers is our primary focus, but we also build products for use by Shipium employees. These internal customers use our software to help our external customers get up and running, improve results and better understand the nature of their business. In addition to applications built specifically for internal use, we also use progressive enhancement to enable our employees to see what our customer sees but with an additional layer of information that employees can use to further understand what is happening behind the scenes and help with troubleshooting or deeper understanding.
