Own the rollout, monitoring, and iteration of the tools you build, with an eye on reliability and client impact.

Document your solutions so they are easy for others to adopt, use, and maintain.

1-3 years of experience building automations, integrations, or software in a data-rich environment.

Working proficiency in JavaScript or Python for data transformation, business logic, and dynamic queries.

Experience consuming REST APIs (GraphQL a plus).

Familiarity with Git-based version control and feature branching (e.g., GitHub).

Low-code/workflow tools (Retool, n8n) and EDI/integration exposure are a plus.

A "compliance first" attitude to keep our regulators happy and enthusiastic about Flexport since we operate in a heavily regulated industry.
