Description

Flock Freight is a FreightTech company that uses patented technology to move freight more efficiently, reliably, and sustainably. The company’s guaranteed terminal-free truckload service, FlockDirect, finds the best options to pool freight among billions of possible combinations, optimizing routes while finding and filling trucks’ empty spaces. Shipments stay safe in a single truck, driven by a single driver, all the way to their destination allowing shippers to only pay for the space they need and enabling carriers to earn more from every linear foot of capacity — all while slashing carbon emissions by up to 40% compared to traditional shipping methods.

Flock Freight has been a Certified B Corp since 2020, meeting high social, environmental, transparency, and accountability standards to all of our stakeholders.

Flock Freight is looking for an experienced engineer who is passionate about building the infrastructure that enables the architecture, development, deployment, and observation of highly performant frontend and backend applications. The platform infrastructure team empowers the rest of the Technology organization to ship high-quality code as fast as possible to make the freight world a better place.

We’re looking for an exceptional, collaborative software engineer to join the team responsible for building out a set of core infrastructure, services, and best practices for our product engineers. Our team is made up of a small group of engineers who are passionate about creating innovative solutions built with modern technology. As a member of this team, your talent and expertise will influence the best practices, design patterns, and technologies that we use to deliver the best experience for our customers.

Responsibilities:

  • Build and maintain shared services and frameworks for standing up workloads, managing transactions, caching, queueing, asynchronous processing, data pipelines, observability, authentication and authorization.
  • Drive standardization of backend monitoring by building tools to measure, monitor and optimize our backend performance and ensure high availability.
  • Define and evangelize best practices for backend development for topics such as database access, asynchronous messaging, decomposition, dependency injection, integration and end-to-end testing, and microservices
  • Build and maintain software delivery systems from local tooling for building and managing software, through continuous integration, all the way to production deployments and post-deployment verification.
  • Take part in the interviewing and consideration of potential new team members.
  • Provide guidance and technical mentorship to new Flockers.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience as a Software Engineer with excellent knowledge of Java (additional experience with Golang, Python, and JavaScript are pluses).
  • Experience using popular Java backend development frameworks like Play, Spring and persistence layer frameworks such as jOOQ or Hibernate.
  • 3+ years of experience building distributed systems leveraging asynchronous messaging (Pub/Sub), caching, RPC, and the common services and technologies used to build cohesive solutions.
  • 3+ years of experience with cloud-native back end architecture using Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Experience designing mission critical, scalable, and fault tolerant web applications.
  • Experience with modern web stacks and architecture (REST, load balancing, HTTP(S), authentication).
  • Experience in state-of-the-art software and system design patterns.
  • Experience with Java build tools such as Gradle, Maven, sbt, or Bazel
  • Experience with end-to-end debugging, monitoring and alerting, and system performance tuning.
  • Exceptional problem solving, analysis, decomposition, and communication skills applied within an agile development environment.

Life & Benefits of the Flock:

  • Hybrid Work Model: As an organization we value in-office collaboration, working cross-functionally, and winning together. Through scheduled in-office and work from home days, we are able to work more efficiently and collaboratively.
  • 401(k) Employer Match: We know Flock may just be a stepping stone in your epic journey, but we want to be sure you’re setting your future self up for success! For that reason, we provide a 401(k) plan that offers a 4% employer match.
  • Medical, Dental & Vision: Generous coverage for employees and dependents. Both HMO and PPO options provided.

We value the skills of people from all backgrounds and are proud to hire, promote, and retain talent from a diverse candidate pool. Diverse perspectives are central to innovation at Flock Freight and make our team better.

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the job hunt!

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
