Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2024 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! Flex enables 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. Will you be a part of the team?
Flex is looking for a Senior Software Engineer who will be responsible for implementing the platforms and APIs that support all business features.
In this role, you will be part of the Core Platform team, responsible for the backend systems and services that power our products, 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.

- You have experience implementing and operating services in distributed services environments at scale
- You have experience with observability and monitoring tools such as DataDog for maintaining high availability
- You write high quality code that is testable, maintainable, scalable and secure
- You have a good understanding of REST and mobile API best practices
- You have great communication skills and are comfortable working with a distributed team
Core competencies:
- Prior experience working on cross functional teams
- Experience with leading the project in its entire lifecycle, from requirements gathering to delivery.
- Proficient with Java and Spring (Bonus: AWS, Containers, Kubernetes, MySql)
- Experience with CI/CD to improve code stability and code quality
