Shopwindow Reviews

remote, friendly environment, creative team, good collaboratio

I have been a software engineer at Shopwindow for the last six years. One thing I’ve really liked is getting to meet with the client success team regularly. It’s very collaborative and I feel I’m getting a strong understanding of the trends and challenges of the industries we work in. I enjoy watching how quickly the work we are putting into new products gets put into use in the real world. Shopwindow has fast feedback loops - I’ve found that the client success and sales teams are good about providing feedback from real customers. This collaboration is helpful because the product team can continually develop the UX & functionality until the customers are thrilled with the user experience & what the Shopwindow feature does. In the meetings, any idea is taken on board & we work together to rapidly craft that idea into a winning solution. Because we don’t jump into deployments until we’ve got all hands on deck that it’s right, there is a lot of enthusiasm when we actually start putting it all together. Shopwindow has been a good company to work for in terms of challenging my engineering. Getting to engineer the solutions is super creative & mentally stimulating. I am encouraged to develop the solution until it not only ticks all the boxes, but also does so with very clean and well structured code. The codebase is fully type checked. The codebase avoids duplication of effort. Instead, we refactor common functionality into reusable components, so the codebase stays straightforward to follow. There is never pressure to release until it is right which I feel is very important as an engineer.
