Rebuild the backbone of modern renting. At The Flex, we believe renting a home should be instant, intelligent, and seamless — as easy as tapping a button. Our ambition is bold: create a world where anyone can live anywhere without friction. Powered by Base360.ai , our automation and intelligence platform, we’re building the operating system for global stays—syncing property data, orchestrating operations, and powering the infrastructure behind every effortless guest experience.
We’re hiring a Backend Engineer who loves building automation, scaling systems, and solving real-world problems with clean, resilient software.
What You’ll BuildAs a Backend Engineer, you’ll architect the foundations of The Flex: the systems, APIs, and automation layers that coordinate global inventory, sync bookings in real time, and enable properties to operate autonomously. Your work will blend digital automation with real-world logistics—enabling thousands of stays to run smoothly without manual intervention.
Your Mission- Build the Core — Design and scale robust APIs and backend services that manage bookings, payments, availability, and property intelligence.
- Automate the Workflows — Develop serverless functions and microservices that eliminate repetitive tasks and streamline operations across cities and continents.
- Connect the Ecosystem — Implement integrations between Base360.ai and major platforms such as Airbnb, Stripe, Twilio, and Hostaway.
- Engineer for Scale — Architect event-driven systems and data pipelines capable of handling millions of events and transactions reliably.
- Power Intelligence — Work with AI and data teams to embed smart automation and predictive logic into operational flows.
- Collaborate Closely — Partner with product, front-end, and operations teams to translate messy real-world challenges into simple, scalable backend solutions.
- Expertise with Node.js, Python/FastAPI, and AWS serverless.
- Strong experience building and scaling API-first products.
- A deep understanding of databases, synchronization logic, and distributed systems.
- A passion for automation, intelligent operations, and emerging PropTech.
- A systems-level mindset — you think in terms of resilience, reliability, and flow.
- A strong bias toward execution and ownership.
- Meaningful Impact — Your systems will become the automation engine of thousands of stays across multiple countries.
- High Ownership — Small team, no bureaucracy, and the opportunity to influence core architectural decisions.
- Speed & Autonomy — Move fast, ship often, and help define the future of our technical ecosystem.
- Performance-Based Rewards — Competitive salary + meaningful equity opportunities for top performers.
- Fully Remote — Work from anywhere. What matters is excellence, not timesheets.
- You want slow, predictable routines.
- You prefer planning meetings over shipping code.
- You’re content writing average software.
- You’re not committed to becoming world-class in your craft.
