By 2030, up to 30% of all workspaces will be flexible. As the world undergoes this monumental shift, flex space operators are leading the charge towards a new way of working - characterized by community, connection, and creating exceptional experiences.
Optix is the first and only flex space automation software, enabling coworking and flex operators to thrive. We do this by providing operators with a B2B SaaS platform that automates their operations, engages their community, and helps them grow their business.
We’re a passionate group of people who support each other to do our best work. We enjoy pour-over coffee, chocolate croissants, and jamming on our vision of changing the way the world works. And now we’re looking for an entrepreneurial-minded individual to join our rapidly growing team.
We are looking for a Full Stack Developer with a passion for AI to help lead our development toward incorporating AI into our processes and products. This role will be central to shaping the future of Optix as we build innovative AI-based solutions for the global flexible workspace industry. This is a great opportunity for a developer who has experience in SaaS and is excited to harness AI as part of their toolkit.
Note: This is a hybrid opportunity for someone based in Vancouver, BC (60% in our beautiful water-front Gastown office, 40% from home).
