Staff Software Engineer, DevExActive

The opportunity

At Flexport, we believe global trade can move the human race forward. That’s why it’s our mission to make global commerce so easy there will be more of it.

What you'll do

  • Making the best paved paths and self-serve tooling possible that makes the: right thing the easy thing, protected by guardrails but not locked gates.

  • 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.

What they're looking for

  • Doing user research with developers: shadowing engineers, running interviews, and tracking DevX metrics so that what you build is grounded on data and not assumptions.
  • Crossing organizational boundaries to align with product teams and ship: changes that impact the whole engineering org.
