Technical Product Manager, Infrastructure

We are reinventing global trade. Flexport helps more than 10,000 clients and suppliers lead all aspects of their supply chain operations. Started in 2013, we've raised over $1.3B from investors that include the Founders Fund, Google Ventures, First Round Capital, Bloomberg Beta, Y Combinator, Wells Fargo, & Softbank.

With offices on three continents, our team is as global as our client base and we’re excited to continue building a product and service they love. Wherever you are, whichever role you play, you’re guaranteed to share your day with committed, encouraging, and resourceful team members.

As a Product Manager on the Infrastructure team, you will define strategy and requirements for our next generation infrastructure. As an infrastructure team we are focused on providing an amazing developer experience, and evolving our infrastructure to be as global as our company to make global trade easy and always available. Come help us expand our infrastructure capabilities, developer experience and build an amazing Flexport Kubernetes Engine (FKE) to support stateful and stateless workloads, integrate multiple AWS managed services and innovate the logistics industry.

Where you’ll work: Our flagship office is on Market Street in San Francisco, but we also have engineering teams working out of our locations in Bellevue and Chicago. As a truly global company, we don’t let geography slow us down. We rotate hack-a-thons and move Flexporters all around the world.

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.
