Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is building the payment layer for life's financial obligations, giving households one place to see, split, and pay their bills around how they live and get paid. By offering greater choice over how and when payments are made and allowing eligible on time payments to help build a positive credit history, Flex puts households back in control of their cash flow.
That work brings together people with different perspectives who challenge the status quo and take ownership of solving difficult problems. For you, that means doing the best work of your career next to people who make you better, and together bringing ideas to life that make a real impact for the people we serve.
About Our Opportunity
Flex exists to make paying rent work the way real life actually works — smoothing out cash flow, helping renters avoid late fees, and letting them build credit instead of falling behind. As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, you'll oversee the technical roadmap for the team, working across APIs, SDKs, and Web experiences. You will work with teams across the organization including Engineering, Product, Design, Infrastructure, Sales, Partner and Customer Success to ensure that the technical strategy meets our goals. We expect you to be hands-on and execute work as an individual, and build products that allow for flexibility as we evolve our product offerings.

- An Owner — you take full accountability for what you build, from design through production, and you always have a plan B.
- Someone Collaborative — you bring people together to pressure-test ideas rather than working in a silo.
- Someone with Precision — your code and your communication are both clear, because ideas only matter once others can act on them.
