Hybrid
Paris
Full Time
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.
