Job Description

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience.

Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget.

  • Familiarity with Git or other version control systems.
  • Ability to communicate clearly, collaborate effectively, and ask questions.
  • Curiosity about how systems work and a desire to learn continuously.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to risk engineering , fraud detection, or decision platforms (through coursework, internships, or prior roles).
  • Experience building high-quality mobile and web UIs to product and design specifications.
  • Experience with the React Native and React ecosystems , including Hooks, Components, Context, and Redux .
  • Experience with Spring Boot or backend service development.
  • Basic knowledge of cloud platforms , particularly AWS.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions).

  • Experience or coursework involving data platforms (e.g., Snowflake).
