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. We’re shaping the future of a $8.6T industry with solutions powered by innovative technology and exceptional people. Today, companies of all sizes—from emerging brands to Fortune 500s—use Flexport technology to move more than $19B of merchandise across 112 countries a year.
The recent global supply chain crisis has put Flexport center stage as we continue to play a pivotal role in how goods move around the world. At a valuation of $8 billion, we are proud to have the support of the best investors in the game who believe in our mission, solutions and people. Ready to tackle global challenges that impact business, society, and the environment? Come join us.
Flexport is building the first modern logistics platform connecting all the parties in global trade – importers, exporters, trucking companies, ocean carriers, airlines, customs agencies, port terminals – through a single, secure cloud-based platform. On this platform we help the world's fastest-growing brands moving goods between any two places on the planet. We give our customers access to better structured data about their supply chain than they have themselves, unlocking insights that are currently locked in PDFs: what you’ve shipped, what you paid for each individual item and what your costs are.
Our platform is built from the ground up, aggregating data from many different sources. We offer hundreds of different data points and our data model is constantly evolving as we continue to build the capabilities required to manage today’s complex global supply chains.
We're seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join our multi-disciplinary Freight Network Team. This team builds systems that are foundational to a logistics business: modeling the hundreds of thousands of ports, warehouses, vessels, and all other components that comprise our route graph. This Network data is used in myriad processes across the company to ensure high quality planning and execution, so data quality and availability are critical. Network data curation has historically been a highly manual process, and we seek to change that. In this role you will have the opportunity to aggressively apply generative AI to improve the timeliness and accuracy of this curation.
The successful candidate will be comfortable working alongside engineering peers across the organization, as well as partnering with product and business stakeholders to champion technical perspectives for our products. Familiarity with the logistics industry is a plus, but not required; we welcome candidates from all backgrounds and provide opportunities for learning about the logistics industry.
***This position requires attendance in the Chicago office 3 days per week and 2 days of remote flexibility***
It’s a plus if you have:
