The Flex Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Overview

Join to apply for the Backend Engineer & Automation – Remote role at The Flex

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.

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.
  • Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Massive impact. Your systems will power thousands of stays and automate the backbone of a $4T industry.
  • Global mission, lean team. No bureaucracy. No silos. Just high performers shipping fast.
  • Autonomy & growth. You’ll own projects end-to-end and help shape our technical roadmap.
  • Performance-driven rewards. Competitive compensation + upside for exceptional contributors.
  • Remote-first culture. Work from anywhere — we care about results, not hours.
  • Do Not Apply If

  • You’re looking for a slow, risk-free 9–5.
  • You prefer meetings over momentum.
  • You’re satisfied with average code and average results.
  • You don’t want to push yourself to operate at the top 1% of your craft.
  • Seniority level

  • Mid-Senior level
  • Employment type
