At The Flex, we’re on a mission to make renting as effortless as buying something online.
We’re creating a world where anyone can rent anywhere, instantly — and where landlords can manage their properties seamlessly, without agents, inefficiency, or high fees.
Through Base360.ai, our proprietary operating platform, we’re powering the next evolution of real estate — intelligent, automated, and borderless.
We’re assembling a lean team of world-class engineers ready to scale The Flex into a global powerhouse. If you want to build systems that run cities, automate operations, and change how people live — you’re in the right place.
🧠 What You’ll BuildAs a Backend Engineer, you’ll design and scale the systems that power The Flex — from reservation logic and payments to property automation and data intelligence.
You’ll focus on building high-performance APIs, serverless architectures, and automation pipelines that make our platform faster, smarter, and more reliable every day.

Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and a bias toward action.
Build global impact: Your code will power thousands of stays and automate entire property operations.
Move fast, build smart: Small team, no bureaucracy, full autonomy.
Performance-based rewards: Competitive compensation + growth incentives.
