About the Role

The Autonomous Freight Systems team is building Flexport's client-facing rates platform and self-serve freight booking experience from the ground up. This role involves owning significant technical domains end-to-end, driving the engineering of systems that power rate visibility, pricing intelligence, and AI-assisted booking. It's a ground-floor opportunity to build the platform that moves Flexport from an assisted-sales model to a tech-run one.

Responsibilities

Take end-to-end technical ownership of core systems, from schema design and backend APIs to the React surfaces our customers use.
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, including agent workflows and LLM-backed automation in production.
Drive technical design for significant features, producing well-reasoned proposals and aligning teammates.
Mentor and support engineers through code review, pairing, and design feedback.
Collaborate closely with product, design, pricing, and operations to translate complex domain problems into elegant, production-ready solutions.
Build and ship incrementally, deploying to production dozens of times per day.
Ensure reliability and quality by building in metrics, monitoring, and applying learnings from incidents.

Requirements

5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a proven track record of shipping production-grade systems with increasing levels of independence.
Deep Ownership Instinct: Hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just outputs.
Full-Stack Fluency: Ability to own a feature from the database to the browser.
AI/LLM Hands-On Experience: Built software that integrates LLMs into real user workflows in production.
Agency and Drive: Identify the next most important problem without being asked and default to action.
Technical Rigor: Passion for simple, well-tested, well-structured code.
Communication: Ability to explain technical tradeoffs clearly and write valuable design docs and code reviews.
Proficiency with deploying, monitoring, and maintaining production services on cloud infrastructure (AWS).
