Software Engineer

At The Flex, we believe renting a home should feel as effortless as booking a ride.
Our mission is ambitious: enable anyone to live anywhere, anytime, without friction.
Powered by Base360.ai, our proprietary automation platform, we are building the operating system for modern renting—connecting property data, orchestrating operations, automating workflows, and enabling seamless stays across continents.
We're looking for a highly ambitious engineer who wants to build systems that create leverage at scale. This isn't a role where you'll spend months debating specifications. You'll build, ship, automate, and solve real-world problems that directly impact thousands of guests and properties.
If you're excited by APIs, automation, AI agents, cloud infrastructure, and building products from the ground up, we want to meet you.

What You'll Build
As a Founding Software Engineer, you'll help architect and scale Base360.ai—the technology platform powering every aspect of The Flex.
You'll build internal products, automation engines, AI-powered workflows, integrations, and operational systems that eliminate manual work and allow the business to scale globally.
Your work will touch everything from guest journeys and property operations to pricing intelligence and AI-driven decision-making.

Your Mission

Build the Core Platform
Design and develop scalable applications, services, and APIs that power bookings, pricing, payments, guest experiences, and operations.
Create Powerful Automations
Build event-driven workflows that automate tasks previously performed by humans.
Develop AI-Powered Systems
Leverage LLMs, AI agents, and machine intelligence to streamline operations, improve decision-making, and enhance customer experiences.
Design API-First Architecture
