About The Flex
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.
The Role
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. 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.
Responsibilities
- 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: Create robust APIs that enable seamless communication between internal systems, third-party providers, and future products.
- Integrate the Ecosystem: Build and maintain integrations with platforms including Airbnb, Hostaway, Stripe, Twilio, OpenAI, Google, and other strategic partners.
- Scale Infrastructure: Deploy and manage cloud-native infrastructure designed for reliability, performance, and global growth.
- Solve Complex Operational Problems: Build solutions for real-time reservation synchronization, dynamic pricing intelligence, smart key management, automated guest communication, operational forecasting, cleaning and maintenance automation, and AI-powered monitoring and alerts.
- Move Fast: Own projects end-to-end—from idea to deployment—and continuously improve the systems you build.
