About the role

Flex is an early-stage, remote-first FinTech startup that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2023 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! We enable our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing in 2023. Will you be a part of the team?

Flex is looking for a Software Engineer that will be responsible for implementing the service APIs that are used by our mobile and web apps.

In this role you will be part of the shared service team, responsible for the core platform that covers our major business functions such as Payment, Ledger, Identity, etc. You’ll be designing, developing, testing, and scaling the platform needed to deliver great user and partner experiences and a reliable end-to-end payment process.

You’ll work closely with your product, design and engineering peers to solve our users' most pressing problems around rent payment. You’ll roll out changes to our customers in an agile manner with a delivery cadence that favors small, frequent iterations. The ideal candidate will be comfortable leading scoping, design and implementation for APIs they build and can drive their production rollouts to completion with minimum oversight.

Skills that are required:

Strong computer science fundamentals

Experience leading and delivering products at a large scale without performance bottlenecks (hundreds of thousands to millions of users)
Write maintainable code that uses industry best practices to improve the entire software development life cycle (unit testing, linting, automation).
Ability to write well-documented and testable TypeScript code
Familiarity with REST API’s and tooling across web and mobile architectures

Collaborating with engineers across multiple teams to improve code quality
Able to mentor engineers in using best practices for software development

Core competencies:

Prior experience working on cross functional teams
Proficient with TypeScript (Bonus: Native iOS/Android)
Experience with CI/CD to improve code stability and code quality

Familiar with Android / iOS / Web development tool ecosystem
Motivated to help other engineers succeed and be effective

The national pay range for this role is $190,000-$210,000. Individual compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's experience aligned with Flex's internal leveling guidelines and benchmarks.
