About Flex
What is Flex?
Flex is a growth-stage NYC-headquartered fintech rebuilding the rent-payment experience. Through its app, renters split their monthly rent into smaller payments scheduled around their actual cashflow — paid throughout the month rather than the standard lump sum on the 1st. In the company's own words, the mission is "to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense."
The platform now processes more than $1 billion in rent every month for over 2 million renters, and Flex says it has helped customers avoid more than $850 million in late fees annually. Flex Rent and Flex Move-in lines of credit are issued through Lead Bank or Column N.A. (FDIC member). Flex describes its engineering team as "AI-first," running on AWS and GCP.
Where will I work?
Flex runs a hybrid model with three U.S. offices — New York City (HQ), Salt Lake City, and San Francisco — plus remote-eligible roles across the U.S. The careers page describes the in-office experience as "lively" with new office space on the way in NYC. The hybrid policy is "Work flexibly from home, with in-person collaboration and events that matter."
What is the Flex team like?
The team has grown to 400+ employees and is still hiring. Departments include Engineering (Core Platform, Infrastructure), Data (Analytics, Data Science), Product, Revenue, Marketing, Legal & Compliance, People, Finance, and Customer Success. Flex publishes six culture values that define how the team works together — Do-er, Owner, Collaborative, Precise, Resilient, Humble — with an explicit bias toward "rolling up your sleeves," accountability "from ideation to outcome," and a "low-ego" approach to candid feedback. Several team voices on the careers page emphasize that Flex has retained early-stage energy at growth scale.
Work-Life Balance
Flex offers Unlimited PTO + 13 company-paid holidays for U.S. full-time employees, alongside the hybrid work policy that lets people mix in-office and remote days. Healthcare benefits start on Day 1 of employment — the careers page is explicit: "Your healthcare will be available from Day 1 — giving you immediate peace of mind."
