Flexport Software Engineer II at Flexport building and enhancing client-facing rates platform and self-serve freight booking experience. Develop microservices and frontend applications integrating AI-powered automation for pricing and booking.
Responsibilities
Join our engineering team in Bellevue building and enhancing Flexport’s client-facing rates platform and self-serve freight booking experience. You will work alongside experienced engineers and have direct ownership of features that move the company from an assisted-sales model to a tech-run one for the long tail of our client base.
This team owns two of the highest-leverage surfaces in the Client App: how clients see pricing and how they book without manual intervention. Rates sit at the center of every freight decision, and you will build the systems that power rate visibility, quoting, and pricing intelligence across our ocean business. You will also help build the infrastructure that integrates AI-powered automation into the booking flow. This is a rare opportunity to build the "front door" of an $8.6 trillion industry, turning the complexity of global trade into a seamless digital experience for thousands of shippers.
Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain systems within a microservices architecture that power rate visibility and autonomous booking.
Own the entire lifecycle of a feature: from database schema design and scalable backend APIs to building the React-based frontend applications our customers use.
Support the integration of AI models and automated workflows to make the pricing and booking experience increasingly intelligent.
Collaborate with engineering, product, and design to translate complex business problems into elegant, production-ready technical solutions.
Contribute to code reviews to maintain high quality standards, share knowledge, and mentor peer engineers.
Build highly available, secure, and distributed systems that can scale with Flexport’s global volume.
Rapidly build and launch products incrementally, leveraging best practices around CI/CD and shipping to production dozens of times per day.
Ensure high-quality standards by incorporating metrics, monitoring, and applying learnings from post-mortems to all services.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
3+ years of professional software engineering experience with a proven track record of shipping production-grade applications.
