Come join us. Senior Software Engineer: Platform Every engineer at Flexport ships code that moves real freight across 112 countries. The faster and safer they can do that, the faster the world's supply chains move.

The PSI (Platform, Security Infrastructure) team makes this possible: we build the paved path and tooling that hundreds of engineers around the world rely on every day to ship. This is not a role where you wait for tickets. You'll talk to engineers, dogfood our platform, and find the friction that's slowing us down, and then design and ship the tools to remove that.

What You'Ll Do

You'll own and evolve the developer platform that powers Flexport engineering. That means: Making the best paved paths and self-serve tooling possible that make the right thing the easy thing. Creating and supporting developers with CI/CD pipelines (Buildkit, Github Actions), build tooling (Gradle, Bazel, npm/pnpm/bun, Go and Cargo) and artifact repositories (Artifactory, ECR, github).

Owning and improving the backend and frontend developer experience. Acting as the steward of our GraphQL and gRPC ecosystem and make sure our middleware, federation and schema sharing, CLIs, codegen and servers and clients work smooth as butter. Evolving and integrating our IAM solutions and primitives so that everything is easy and secure by default.

Making sure engineers can easily use and understand our container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS) and observability stack (Openmetrics, Datadog) that engineers rely on to run, understand and debug their services. You Should Have 5+ years of software engineering experience , with time spent building developer platforms, or internal tooling that other engineers depend on. Deep full-stack instincts : you're equally comfortable in a backend service, a frontend build pipeline, a Kubernetes manifest, and a CI configuration.

Strong product instincts applied to internal users : you treat engineers as customers, identify what's actually worth building, and measure whether it worked. Expertise and hands on experience with several of: a CI/CD system (Github Actions preferred), a container orchestrator (Kubernetes preferred), build tooling preferably for more than one language, backend-for-frontend (Graphql preferred), service-to-service communication (gRPC preferred), Metrics and artifact storage.
