Flexa is the leading retail payments network for digital assets. Our mission is to bring buyers and sellers closer together—on sellers’ terms—and to build and offer a safe and seamless bridge from the cobwebs of the existing global financial system to a more modern and long-term sustainable infrastructure. We are passionate about the transformative power of digital currencies and we're not daunted by the prospect of starting from scratch to make the world a better place. Every day we rebuild and reconsider the very concept of what it means to use money. We are enabling faster, safer, and more private payments and helping merchants streamline checkout, reduce costs, and better serve customers.

On the Flexa engineering team, we expect each other to take the time needed to build software thoughtfully and sustainably. Our team leverages bleeding-edge tool chains, technologies, and practices, and we strive to consistently learn and improve our infrastructure and techniques. We support each other by prioritizing collaboration with our teammates over our individual engineering work. We trust that when we ask for code reviews, these requests are given our teammates’ sharpest focus and diligent feedback. We focus on reducing cycle times via continuous self-deployment.

We are currently looking for a senior software engineer with a visual designer’s eye as well as the ability to develop and deploy our software and services. Our development process is lightweight and productive, and revolves around our mutual respect for each other as well as our individual dedication to building high-quality products.
