Full-Stack Engineering Lead

About the Position

At The Flex, we believe renting a home should be as effortless as booking a ride. Our mission is to enable anyone to live anywhere, anytime, without friction. Powered by Base360.ai, our proprietary technology platform, we are building the operating system for modern renting-automating operations, connecting fragmented systems, and creating seamless experiences for guests, landlords, and operators across the world.

We're looking for a Full-Stack Engineering Lead to help scale both our technology and our engineering culture. This is a hands-on leadership role.

If you're excited about ownership, rapid execution, AI, automation, and building products that have real-world impact, we'd love to meet you.

• Mentor and Support Engineers: Provide technical guidance, conduct code reviews, and help create a high-performance engineering culture focused on continuous improvement.
• Build Automation at Scale: Develop systems that eliminate manual work and allow operations to scale efficiently across multiple markets.
• Integrate Critical Platforms: Build and maintain integrations with platforms including Airbnb, Hostaway, Stripe, Twilio, Google, OpenAI, and other strategic partners.
• Leverage AI: Implement AI-powered workflows, tools, and agents that improve productivity and decision-making across the business.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with product, operations, revenue, and leadership teams to translate business challenges into scalable technical solutions.

We Offer

• Build at scale: Your work will power thousands of stays across multiple countries.
• Lead by Building: This is a hands-on role where you'll spend your time creating solutions, not sitting in meetings.
