Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Staff Software Engineer: Platform SRE - **Company:** Flexport - **Location:** Amsterdam, Netherlands (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Testing (Software), Amazon Web Services, Build Automation, Cloud Computing, Continuous Delivery, Software Debugging, Disaster Recovery, Github, Gradle, Identity and Access Management, Octopus Deploy, OpenID, Reliability Engineering, Software Engineering, Datadog, Kubernetes Helm Charts, Kubernetes, Npm(Software), Terraform, Artifactory - **Published:** August 31, 2026 - **Apply:** https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/flexport/jobs/8064123 ## About the Role * 10+ years of software engineering experience, site reliability engineering or infrastructure engineering experience, with significant time spent on production system infrastructure * Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure, with hand-on AWS experience * Strong Infrastructure-as-Code skills, preferably with Terraform and a track record of creating safe and reusable infrastructure patterns. Clickops should be your tool of last resort * Solid software engineering skills and the ability to build automation and production tooling in a general-purpose programming language * Experience leading incident response, conducting blameless post-mortems or COE processes and executing on the follow ups. * An independent mindset: you thrive in ambiguity, find the highest-leverage problems yourself, and don't wait to be told what to do * Sound judgment around infrastructure: you will make the right decisions around security, IAM, networking and change management * Excellent communication: you can write a clear design or incident document, explain operational tradeoffs, and align stakeholders across teams on platform-wide changes * A generally helpful attitude. 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. The 90's can keep their BOFH. * A drive for impact: you're not satisfied until our systems are reliable and every engineer is confident operating what they own Nice to Have * Experience operating AWS at scale across multiple accounts, regions and availability zones * Experience with GitOps and continuous delivery tooling such as Argo CD * Experience with Identity and Access Management at scale, including OIDC * Experience designing disaster recovery, business continuity, and resilience testing programs * Experience improving cloud cost efficiency and resource utilization ## Description Every engineer at Flexport ships code that moves real freight across 112 countries. The faster , more reliable 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 and operate the infrastructure and foundations that hundreds of engineers rely on to run Flexport's products around the clock. This is not a role where you wait for tickets. You'll look across systems, identify risks before they become incidents, and work with the software engineering and security teams to make our infrastructure more resilient, observable, efficient, secure, and easier to operate. What You'll Do You'll own and evolve the infrastructure that powers Flexport engineering. That means: * Designing, building and operating reliable, scalable infrastructure in AWS and other cloud platforms * Evolving our container orchestration (Kubernetes), Helm charts, deployment systems (Argo) and the guardrails around them to ensure engineers can safely deploy, run, understand and debug their services * Evolving our observability stack (Openmetrics, Datadog) to make insights into our systems as good and easy to understand as possible. * Setting standards for our Infrastructure-as-Code codebases (Terraform) * 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) * Improving our incident response tooling to ensure we can efficiently handle incidents when they occur * Crossing organizational boundaries to align with product teams and ship changes that impact the whole engineering org ## Related Videos - [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) - [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) - [The user in the eye of the Cargo1492 storm](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/96-the-user-in-the-eye-of-the-cargo1492-storm) - [CI/CD with Github Actions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/856-ci-cd-with-github-actions) - [Delegating the chores of authenticating users to Keycloak](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1558-delegating-the-chores-of-authenticating-users-to-keycloak) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [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)
