Everyone should know you within no-time as the person who gets stuff unblocked, points them in the right direction and makes their work easier. * A drive for impact: you are not satisfied until every engineer is productive and confident thanks to your team. Nice to Have * Experience in data-driven DevX development using metrics such as DORA. * Experience with AWS. * Experience in Identity and Access Management (IAM) at scale such as JWTs, OIDC and fine-grained authorization. * Experience with Terraform. ## Description Every engineer at Flexport ships code that moves real freight across 112 countries. The faster and safer they can do that, the faster the world's supply chains move. The PSI (Platform, Security & Infrastructure) team makes this possible: we build the paved path and tooling that hundreds of engineers around the world rely on every day to ship. This is not a role where you wait for tickets. You'll talk to engineers, dogfood our platform, and find the friction that's slowing us down, and then design and ship the tools to remove that. What You'll Do You'll own and evolve the developer platform that powers Flexport engineering. That means: * Making the best paved paths and self-serve tooling possible that make the right thing the easy thing. * 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. ## Related Videos - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Modular Secrets to Lightning-Fast Android Builds](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1428-modular-secrets-to-lightning-fast-android-builds) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Empowering Thousands of Developers: Our Journey to an Internal Developer Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1519-empowering-thousands-of-developers-our-journey-to-an-internal-developer-platform) - [CI/CD with Github Actions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/856-ci-cd-with-github-actions) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers)
