The opportunity
The Autonomous Freight Systems team is a brand new, AI-first engineering team in San Francisco, building Flexport's client-facing rates platform and self-serve freight booking experience from the ground up. We own two of the highest-leverage surfaces in the Client App: how…
What you'll do
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.
What they're looking for
- 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.
- + years of professional software engineering experience with a proven track: record of shipping production-grade systems with increasing levels of independence.
- Deep Ownership Instinct: You hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just outputs. When something breaks, you fix it—and you make sure it doesn't break again.
