Flexport is hiring engineers: https://jobs.lever.co/flexport https://jobs.lever.co/flexport
As an engineer starting at Flexport in a couple of weeks, here are some more interesting resources that shaped my thinking:
Interview with Ryan Petersen (Flexport CEO)

Office hours at startup school 2013 with pg & sama

I also happened to have recently read Zero to One.
Plus, Flexport has an appealing mission. Removing friction in something as basic as shipping makes pretty much everyone in the world better off.
- vskarine 11y agoHow do you differentiate yourselves from FreightOS?

- thedogeye 11y agoFreightOS is a software company building tools to make incumbent freight forwarders more efficient--so it's more of a supply-driven marketplace. Flexport is a freight forwarder that builds our own software, with the goal of providing better customer experiences with lower transaction costs--so it's more of a demand-driven marketplace. Probably we will meet them in the middle someday and have to compete with them for customers. They founders seem very smart and accomplished, and they appear to have solved many hard problems already, so it will be a fun challenge when it happens.
