Automation Engineer I

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.

You will build the integrations and automations that let Flexport's customs clients onboard quickly and smoothly.

Responsibilities:

• Build, deploy, and maintain production-grade integrations and automations using Retool, n8n, Python/Streamlit, Apps Script, and SQL.
• Partner with Customs BD, operations, and business units to translate business requirements into technical requirements and solutions.
• Own the rollout, monitoring, and iteration of the tools you build, with an eye on reliability and client impact.
• Document your solutions so they are easy for others to adopt, use, and maintain.

Requirements:

• 1-3 years of experience building automations, integrations, or software in a data-rich environment.
• Working proficiency in JavaScript or Python for data transformation, business logic, and dynamic queries.
• Advanced SQL.
• Experience consuming REST APIs (GraphQL a plus).
• Familiarity with Git-based version control and feature branching (e.g., GitHub).
• Low-code/workflow tools (Retool, n8n) and EDI/integration exposure are a plus.
• A "compliance first" attitude to keep our regulators happy and enthusiastic about Flexport since we operate in a heavily regulated industry.
