The posting

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 the Job

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC-headquartered FinTech company 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.

You will work closely with product managers to drive delivery of their workstreams with your team of highly adaptable, AI-enabled engineers who reside in the Consumer organization but range across the entire Flex system as necessary.

You will serve as a key technical partner to Product, business leadership, and cross-functional teams (such as Lifecycle Marketing (LCM), Legal & Compliance, and Risk) to drive outcomes across your workstreams. You will also represent Consumer engineering and New Verticals in Flex-wide architecture and quality initiatives, ensuring we build solutions that scale across Flex as a whole.
