Automation Engineer I at Flexport · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

You'll build the integrations and automations that let Flexport's customs clients onboard quickly and smoothly. Partnering closely with Customs Business Development, brokerage operations, and client teams, you'll turn business requirements into working solutions — from API/EDI data flows to bespoke automations — for some of Flexport's largest and most complex accounts, many of them migrating from competitors with a high bar from day one. It's high-impact, high-visibility work on a small team that ships fast and sees its ROI directly.
Build, deploy, and maintain production-grade integrations and automations using Retool, n8n, Python/Streamlit, Apps Script, and SQL.
Partner with Customs BD, operations, and business units to translate business requirements into technical requirements and solutions.
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.
