Job description
At Flexport, we believe global trade can move the human race forward. That’s why it’s our mission to make global commerce so easy there will be more of it. We’re shaping the future of a $10T industry with solutions powered by innovative technology and exceptional people. Today, companies of all sizes—from emerging brands to Fortune 500s—use Flexport technology to move more than $19B of merchandise across 112 countries a year.

Job responsibilities
- Take end-to-end technical ownership of core systems: from schema design and backend APIs to the React surfaces our customers use and drive them to production without needing oversight.
- Proactively identify gaps, inefficiencies, and engineering problems within your domain and lead the effort to resolve them.
- Design and build AI-powered features and integrations, moving beyond "AI familiarity" to hands-on implementation of agent workflows and LLM-backed automation in production.
- Drive technical design for significant features, producing well-reasoned proposals and aligning teammates before writing the first line of code.
- Mentor and support P2 engineers through code review, pairing, and design feedback, raising the quality of the team's output.
- Collaborate closely with product, design, pricing, and operations to translate complex domain problems into elegant, production-ready solutions.
- Build and ship incrementally: this team deploys to production dozens of times per day, and you are comfortable with that pace.
- Ensure reliability and quality by building in metrics, monitoring, and applying learnings from incidents to all systems you own.
Job requirements
- Experience with elements of our tech stack: Java, Spring Boot, Ruby on Rails, React, AWS.
- Familiarity with agentic patterns, RAG, or workflow orchestration (e.g., Temporal).
- Experience in logistics, supply chain, freight technology, or pricing systems.
- A bias for action: when you see a problem, you own the fix.
