Flexible rent payment and credit app for renters and properties
Flex lets renters split and time their rent while properties get paid on schedule, built on a Java/Spring Boot and TypeScript/React Native stack running on AWS EKS, Aurora and DynamoDB. A sales-heavy, senior-skewed hiring push alongside go-to-market work for broadband, insurance and utilities signals expansion beyond rent into other recurring bills. Enterprise partnership scaling and a growing compliance function point to a maturing, regulated credit business.
Notable leadership hires: Product Director, Chief of Staff, Strategic Partnerships Director, Director GTM Operations
Flex is a New York-based financial services company founded in 2019 that pays renters' rent on the first of the month and lets them repay on a schedule that fits their budget. It serves two sides: renters seeking payment flexibility and property operators looking to improve rent collection. The company is privately held, employs 201–500 people, and hires in the United States. Its product is delivered as a mobile app, with backend payment, billing and credit services supporting the experience.
Flex uses Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript, React and React Native on AWS (EKS, Aurora, ElastiCache, DynamoDB), with dbt, Snowflake, Airflow, Looker and Tableau for data, plus Datadog and New Relic for monitoring.
