Senior Frontend Engineer

Flow

Full TimeReact
Posted 4 years ago
Flow is a SaaS e-commerce platform that enables brands and retailers to become international and sell cross-border. Flow’s API driven platform enables merchants to sell & ship globally from their own sites, solving all cross-border pain points throughout the entire e-commerce supply chain, such as local payment methods, international shipping options, and all aspects of the upstream site localization such as duty/tax calculation, local pricing and product restrictions. These challenges create enormous friction to selling globally for merchants. The result is a next generation platform for cross-border commerce, focused on the customer experience and on maximizing conversion rates.

Flow has raised $55m+ in funding (most recently Series B) from NEA, Amex Venture, Bain Capital Ventures, Forerunner and Fung Capital and more.

About our Software Development:
Flow practices and pioneers continuous delivery with a constant flow of changes to our software from development through automated testing into production, deploying updates into the production environment multiple times a day with a tight feedback loop through canary deploys, production metrics monitoring, and alerting. This allows us to build software rapidly, confidently, and iteratively, testing in production and substantially reducing the latency that more traditional development methods incur. At the same time, this approach minimizes both the risk as well as the blast radius of bugs, and ensures our clients gain immediate value from our updates and new features.
