solutions.

- 8+ years of experience writing software, and a strong
engineering background.

stack: On the frontend, we create our views with React, manage the
flow of data with GraphQL/Relay, and test our application with
Jest. On the backend, we're in the process of decoupling our
monolithic Rails app and introducing services using other
languages, such as Java, Kotlin and Node.js. Our data is persisted
in mostly Postgres and MongoDB. About Flexport: At Flexport, we
