Lead Full-Stack Engineer
The Flex
About the role
Join the team redefining the future of global living.
At The Flex, we believe renting a home should feel instant, intelligent, and effortless — as seamless as booking a ride. Our ambition is bold: enabling anyone to live anywhere, anytime, without friction.
Powered by Base360.ai, our proprietary automation engine, we’re building the operating system for modern renting — connecting property data, orchestrating operations, and enabling seamless stays across continents.
If you’re driven by technical ownership, system architecture, and building platforms that operate at real-world scale, this role puts you at the center of how millions of people move, live, and experience the world.
What You’ll Build
As a Lead Full-Stack Engineer, you will own the architecture and technical direction of The Flex platform — spanning web applications, APIs, automation engines, and cloud infrastructure.
You’ll lead by building. You’ll design systems, set standards, and make key technical decisions while remaining deeply hands-on across the stack.
This is not a people-management role. It’s a technical leadership role for someone who wants to shape systems, mentor by example, and build platforms that scale globally.
Your Mission
- Own the Architecture: Define and evolve the technical architecture powering bookings, payments, availability, pricing, and guest experience.
- Lead by Building: Deliver critical features end-to-end across frontend, backend, and infrastructure — setting the bar for quality and speed.
- Design API-First Platforms: Architect scalable, well-structured APIs that connect Base360.ai to internal tools and external partners.
- Automate the Business: Build event-driven services and intelligent workflows that replace manual operations across the company.
- Integrate at Scale: Own and evolve deep integrations with platforms such as Airbnb, Stripe, Hostaway, and Twilio.
- Ship with Confidence: Deploy and operate serverless infrastructure on AWS, ensuring reliability, security, and global performance.
- Solve the Hard Stuff: Lead solutions for real-time booking sync, pricing intelligence, keyless access logic, AI-powered alerts, and live operational dashboards.
- Raise the Bar: Establish best practices, review critical code, and mentor engineers through example and technical clarity.
You’re a Great Fit If You Have
- Strong senior-level experience with FastAPI, React, and AWS
- Proven ownership of system architecture and complex distributed systems
- Deep experience designing and scaling API-first platforms
- A history of building production-grade systems used at real scale
- High standards for code quality, reliability, and performance
- A builder’s mindset — you execute fast, think long-term, and enjoy responsibility
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Architect Real Impact: Your decisions will shape a platform used across cities and continents.
- High Ownership, No Politics: Small, elite team with real autonomy and zero corporate drag.
- Build From First Principles: You’ll help define not just features, but the foundation of the company’s technology.
- Performance-Based Rewards: Top-of-market compensation with meaningful upside for exceptional leaders.
- Remote-First: Work from anywhere — we care about leverage and outcomes, not hours.
This Role Is Not for You If
- You want a management-heavy role with little hands-on work
- You avoid making hard technical decisions
- You’re uncomfortable owning systems end-to-end
- “Good enough” is acceptable to you
