About The Flex Reinvent How The World Rents.

At

The Flex , we believe renting a home should be as effortless as ordering an Uber.

Our mission: make renting borderless, instant, and intelligent.

Through

Base360.ai , our proprietary platform, we’re building the digital nervous system of the rental world — connecting property data, automating operations, and creating the intelligent infrastructure that powers every stay, everywhere.

What You’ll Build As a

Backend Engineer , you’ll design and scale the backbone of The Flex — the APIs, automations, and intelligence layers that connect global booking platforms, power predictive insights, and orchestrate real‑world logistics. Your work will bridge digital intelligence and physical operations — enabling thousands of seamless stays to happen automatically, without human intervention.

Your Mission

Architect Core Systems – Build scalable, high‑performance APIs and backend services that drive global bookings, payments, and property data synchronization.

Automate Operations – Create microservices and serverless functions that remove repetitive manual processes and enhance efficiency.

Integrate Intelligently – Connect Base360.ai with platforms like Airbnb, Stripe, Twilio, and Hostaway through robust, maintainable integrations.

Design for Scale – Build fault‑tolerant, event‑driven systems and data pipelines capable of handling millions of transactions across borders.

Enhance Intelligence – Collaborate with AI and data teams to embed predictive automation into operational workflows.

Collaborate for Impact – Partner with product, operations, and front‑end teams to turn complex real‑world challenges into clean, scalable backend solutions.

You’re a Great Fit If You Have

Strong experience with Node.js, Python (FastAPI), and AWS (serverless stack preferred).

Proven track record designing and scaling API‑first architectures.

Deep understanding of databases, data synchronization, and event‑driven systems.

Curiosity for automation, AI, and real‑estate technology.

A systems‑thinker mindset — you design for resilience, not just function.

A bias for action — you thrive in fast‑moving, high‑accountability environments.

Why You’ll Love It Here

Massive Impact – Your systems will power thousands of stays and automate the backbone of a $4T global industry.

Global Mission, Lean Team – No bureaucracy. No silos. Just high performers moving fast.

Autonomy & Growth – Own projects end‑to‑end and shape our technical roadmap.

Performance‑Driven Rewards – Competitive compensation and meaningful upside for top contributors.

Remote‑First Culture – Work from anywhere. We care about output, not office hours.

Do Not Apply If

You’re looking for a slow, predictable 9–5.

You prefer meetings over momentum.

You’re satisfied with average code and average results.

You’re not striving to operate in the top 1% of your craft.
