Software Engineer

At The Flex, we believe renting a home should feel as effortless as booking a ride.

Our mission is ambitious: enable anyone to live anywhere, anytime, without friction.

Powered by Base360.ai, our proprietary automation platform, we are building the operating system for modern renting—connecting property data, orchestrating operations, automating workflows, and enabling seamless stays across continents.

We're looking for a highly ambitious engineer who wants to build systems that create leverage at scale. This isn't a role where you'll spend months debating specifications. You'll build, ship, automate, and solve real-world problems that directly impact thousands of guests and properties.

If you're excited by APIs, automation, AI agents, cloud infrastructure, and building products from the ground up, we want to meet you.

What You'll Build

As a Founding Software Engineer, you'll help architect and scale Base360.ai—the technology platform powering every aspect of The Flex.

You'll build internal products, automation engines, AI-powered workflows, integrations, and operational systems that eliminate manual work and allow the business to scale globally.

Your work will touch everything from guest journeys and property operations to pricing intelligence and AI-driven decision-making.

Your Mission

  • Build the Core Platform
    • Design and develop scalable applications, services, and APIs that power bookings, pricing, payments, guest experiences, and operations.
  • Create Powerful Automations
    • Build event-driven workflows that automate tasks previously performed by humans.
  • Develop AI-Powered Systems
    • Leverage LLMs, AI agents, and machine intelligence to streamline operations, improve decision-making, and enhance customer experiences.
  • Design API-First Architecture
    • Create robust APIs that enable seamless communication between internal systems, third-party providers, and future products.
  • Integrate the Ecosystem
    • Build and maintain integrations with platforms including Airbnb, Hostaway, Stripe, Twilio, OpenAI, Google, and other strategic partners.
  • Scale Infrastructure
    • Deploy and manage cloud-native infrastructure designed for reliability, performance, and global growth.
  • Solve Complex Operational Problems

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
