About Flex
Flex is a simple app that’s changing the way the world pays and collects rent. Our technology makes the 1st of the month easy for renters and properties. For renters, we pay the rent on the 1st and let you pay it back when it works better for your budget. We help you buy some time (or whatever else you’re eyeing). For properties, we help you collect more and stress less. And we do the previously impossible by turning rent collection into a marketable amenity. WHAT WE STAND FOR •We believe you should be able to choose when you pay your bills. The flexibility of buy-now-pay-later has forever changed the way the world makes purchases. We believe the same flexibility should be available for one of life’s #1 expenses: rent. •We believe in the win-win. We like helping people keep commitments. With our technology, properties get the rent and renters get the time. The future is flexible. •We believe in the end of rent regret. Sharing human spaces used to be easier. But then payment came into the picture and rent regret was born. The worst part of rent regret is that it separates us from each other. We’re committed to solving rent regret forever.

Job description

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?

About the role

Flex is looking for a Software Engineer who will be responsible for implementing the various backend systems that support all business features.

In this role, you will be part of the backend engineer team, responsible for the services and integrations that power our products, such as Payment, Billing, Identity, partner integration, etc. You’ll be designing, developing, testing, and scaling systems needed to deliver great user and partner experiences.

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.

A minimum of 5 years of experience with Java is required for this position.

Skills that are required
  • You have strong computer science fundamentals
  • You have experience to translate the feature requirements into technical specifications.
  • You have experience with the Java frameworks and tools we use at Flex such as Spring (core/web/boot), Gradle and JUnit
  • 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
  • Proficient with Java and Spring (Bonus: AWS, Containers, Kubernetes, MySql)
  • Experience with CI/CD to improve code stability and code quality
The salary compensation range for this role will be commensurate with the candidate's experience and Flex's internal leveling guidelines and benchmarks.
  • For working locations in NY/NJ/CA, the base salary pay range will be $221,000-$237,000
  • For all other states, the base salary pay range will be $199,000-$213,000
