About the Role

As a Software Engineer II on the PSI team, you will own well-scoped projects within Flexport's developer platform, working with a small group of teammates. You'll engage with engineers who use the tools, dogfood the platform, and gain a solid understanding of the problems and goals behind your work to design and ship improvements that remove friction. You will receive support and guidance from senior engineers while building real ownership of your projects from start to finish.

Responsibilities

Own projects within, and help evolve, the developer platform that powers Flexport engineering.
Build paved paths and self-serve tooling that make the right thing the easy thing.
Build and support CI/CD pipelines (Buildkite, GitHub Actions), build tooling (Gradle, Bazel, npm/pnpm/bun, Go and Cargo) and artifact repositories (Artifactory, ECR, GitHub).
Improve the backend and frontend developer experience through projects you scope and deliver.
Contribute to our GraphQL and gRPC ecosystem: middleware, federation and schema sharing, CLIs, codegen, servers and clients.
Contribute to our IAM solutions and primitives so that things are easy and secure by default.
Help engineers use and understand our container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS) and observability stack (OpenMetrics, Datadog), so they can run, understand and debug their services.
Gather feedback from internal users, turning it into clear problem statements, and working with your team to prioritize what's worth building.

Requirements

2-5 years of software engineering experience, ideally including time spent on developer platforms, internal tooling, or infrastructure that other engineers depend on.
Full-stack curiosity: comfortable in a backend service and building comfort across frontend build pipelines, Kubernetes manifests, and CI configuration.
Hands-on experience with some of: a CI/CD system (GitHub Actions preferred), a container orchestrator (Kubernetes preferred), build tooling (more than one language is a plus), backend-for-frontend (GraphQL preferred), service-to-service communication (gRPC preferred), metrics, or artifact storage.
A good grasp of problems and goals: ask the right questions, understand who you're building for and why, and explain how your work connects to broader team goals.
Care for internal users: treat engineers as customers, gather feedback, and check whether what you shipped actually helped.
Ownership of your projects: take a project from idea to production rollout, keep stakeholders informed, and raise risks early.
Pride in fixing what's broken: tackle tech debt in your area and help carry out migrations, with guidance on larger or cross-team efforts.
Good communication: write a clear design doc for your project, take part in developer interviews, and keep your teammates up to date.
A helpful attitude: be the person who gets people unblocked and makes their work easier.
Growth mindset: seek out feedback, learn quickly, and build toward broader scope and impact over time.
