Backend Engineer & Automation – Remote

**Reinvent How The World Rents.** At **The Flex** , we believe renting a home should feel as effortless as ordering an Uber. Our mission is to make renting **borderless, instant, and intelligent** . Through **Base360\.ai** , our proprietary platform, we’re building the **digital nervous system of the rental world** — connecting property data, automating operations, and creating an intelligent infrastructure that powers every stay, everywhere. We’re looking for a **Backend Engineer** who thrives on automation, scalability, and impact — someone who can turn complex operational systems into elegant, self\-sustaining software. 💡 **What You’ll Build** As a **Backend Engineer** , you’ll design and scale the backbone of The Flex — the APIs, automations, and intelligence layers that connect global booking channels, automate real\-world logistics, and power predictive insights across cities. Your work will make the difference between chaos and flow — enabling thousands of stays to happen seamlessly, without human intervention. ⚙️ **Your Mission** * Architect Core Systems – Build scalable, high\-performance APIs and services that power global bookings, payments, and property data synchronization. * Automate Operations – Create microservices and serverless functions that eliminate repetitive manual processes. * Integrate Intelligently – Connect Base360\.ai to platforms like Airbnb, Stripe, Twilio, and Hostaway. * Design for Scale – Build fault\-tolerant systems and data pipelines capable of handling millions of transactions across borders. * Enhance Intelligence – Work with AI and data teams to embed predictive automation into everyday workflows. * Collaborate for Impact – Partner with product, operations, and front\-end teams to translate complex real\-world problems into clean, scalable backend solutions. 🧠 **You’re a Great Fit If You Have** * Strong skills in Node.js, Python (FastAPI), and AWS (serverless stack preferred). * Experience designing and scaling API\-first architectures. * Deep understanding of databases, data synchronization, and event\-driven systems. * Curiosity about automation, real estate tech, and AI\-powered operations. * A “systems thinker” mindset — building for resilience, not just function. * A bias for action, and comfort working in a fast\-moving, high\-accountability environment. 🌍 **Why You’ll Love It Here** * Massive impact. Your systems will power thousands of stays and automate the backbone of a $4T industry. * Global mission, lean team. No bureaucracy. No silos. Just high performers shipping fast. * Autonomy \& growth. You’ll own projects end\-to\-end and help shape our technical roadmap. * Performance\-driven rewards. Competitive compensation \+ upside for exceptional contributors. * Remote\-first culture. Work from anywhere — we care about results, not hours. 🚫 **Do Not Apply If** * You’re looking for a slow, risk\-free 9–5\. * You prefer meetings over momentum. * You’re satisfied with average code and average results. * You don’t want to push yourself to operate at the top 1% of your craft.
