We are looking for a talented engineer to join the Flexhire engineering team. But we don't just want someone who is a great engineer!! Do you care and think about the decisions that will make a product successful? Do you have an entrepreneurial mindset? Then we'd love to hear from you!
Our platform helps people from all over the world find meaningful work with great companies. We have truly helped transform some of our talented members' lives by giving them great long‑term work with amazing companies.
We want engineers who also think like mini CEOs of each of our products! How to grow them and make them successful.
How we workAt Flexhire, our engineering team moves fast. We run on React and NextJS on the frontend and Rails/Postgres on the backend deployed on AWS. Our full‑stack engineers take full ownership of individual features from idea through release and feedback. We work using the Kanban approach for project management, getting early feedback from end users. We are an AI‑first small team leveraging Cursor for coding.
We keep on top of the latest AI tools to ensure we are maximizing our velocity & productivity. In our fully remote team, everyone makes a difference.
Our product is built on a modern React, NextJS and Rails/Postgres stack with a focus on leveraging AI for productivity and test automation.
- You will work on a modern codebase that is regularly maintained and refactored to match the product's growth and scale, and to take advantage of the ideal tech to power the information deep, highly interactive UI of Flexhire.
- We have a Rails application as our backend, and a hybrid SPA with Server Side Rendering and PWA features as our frontend. Our frontend is built using the Next.js framework, React, Typescript, Material‑UI and a Graph
QL API with the Relay client. We also make heavy use of React hooks both from libraries and our own custom ones. - The Rails backend and the Next.js frontend communicate through a Graph
QL API and we have automations in place to ensure type safety so Typescript types are automatically generated for the Graph
QL queries on the frontend, thanks to the Relay client. - Our infrastructure is deployed on AWS with redundant, horizontally scaled servers. The deployments are managed through automated CI and CD pipelines, and we also have multiple comprehensive suites of all kinds of automated tests to keep us moving fast without breaking things. Finally, we stay on top of user‑facing issues through deep Sentry integration and Log Rocket.
- Our engineering team is small but mighty! We have an open communication culture and flat, horizontal structure so you will be encouraged to get to know all the different aspects of the product, or to specialize in specific functional areas in the codebase and product backend.
At Flexhire, you will:
- Help build the features to improve our ATS, HRIS and Member Network experiences.
