You will support existing products and build new ones that leverage Flexport’s platform to make a real-world impact, such as reducing global carbon emissions, empowering nonprofits to deliver aid effectively and product donation matching. If you are passionate about using technology and data to drive humanitarian and environmental impact, you’ve found your home. Come prove software engineers can save the world one line of code at a time.

This position reports into the Trade Services Team in Amsterdam and will cross-train with other smaller engineering teams for code-reviews and on-call support.

Lead the design and development of complex software systems, ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance. Build new full stack products that power Flexport.org initiatives, such as sustainable routing optimization within our freight network.  Support existing products and integrations, such as our freight emissions calculator and fund management system, by crushing bugs in a timely manner, and looking for opportunities to make things run faster and smoother.  Work closely with business partners to distill complex business problems into elegant technical solutions.

Ability to convey technical ideas in common terms to business stakeholders, product managers, and engineers alike, in both written and verbal terms. A self-starter attitude.

Our stack:

Our continuous releases are integrated with Buildkite and Github. On the frontend, we use React for the views, fetch data with GraphQL/Relay, and test our application with Jest.

How we work:

We come to the office at two to three times a week to hang out, have lunch, white board, and collaborate We have the latest and greatest hardware and software for you to work with We’re agile, but not married to a single doctrine like scrum. The teams decide how they work best. Stack: we’re coming from a React/Flow + Ruby on Rails monolith, and moving to React/Typescript, Kotlin Microservices on Kubernetes. We also use and love GraphQL, GRPC, Postgres, Kafka and Snowflake

Other perks:

Incredible stock option plan (RSUs), that has tremendous growth potential Yearly bonus: a yearly bonus of ~ 10% of your base salary Free breakfast and lunch/snacks: there is such a thing as free lunch Fully covered health insurance and dental care Pension plan

Worried about not having any freight forwarding experience?

Don’t be We’re building the first Operating System for Global Trade. That’s why it’s incredibly important for us to bring people from diverse backgrounds and experiences together with our industry veterans to help move the freight forwarding industry forward.

What’s freight forwarding and why does it matter? Freight forwarding is the coordination and shipment of goods from one place to another and it’s what makes global trade possible. Flexport is on a mission to make global trade easier for everyone because we believe it can help connect the world and break down economic barriers.

We know this industry is complex. That’s why we invest in education starting day one with Flexport Academy, a one week intensive onboarding program designed specifically to set every new Flexport employee up for success.
