Job description

Build the Future of Global Work - From Anywhere

Traditional compliance is slow and manual. At WorkFlex, we have built the platform that automates it. We are looking for experienced Product Engineers who want to build high-scale systems using agentic workflows everywhere.

The Lifestyle: We are a remote-only company. You can work from a beach, a mountain, or your home office. You have 183 days of workations per year because we believe the best work is done by people who are inspired by their surroundings.

The Workflow: Orchestrating Agents over Manual Coding

At WorkFlex, we operate differently. We don't want you spending 8 hours a day manually typing boilerplate.

• Agentic Excellence: We use tools like Claude Code or Cursor to handle the heavy lifting. You are the orchestrator who guides the AI to build scalable, secure, and elegant systems.

• Your day: You spend your time on design, review and direction, not typing.

What You Will Do

• Own the Product: You will be part of an autonomous team of 5, reporting to an Engineering Team Lead. You are not a ticket-taker; you work on an equal footing with Product Managers to decide what we build. You work across backend and frontend, roughly 50/50, directing agents wherever the impact is highest.

• High-Stakes Security: Since we handle sensitive global compliance data, you own the security of your applications. From integrating best practices to thinking like a pentester, you ensure our platform remains secure.

• End-to-End Delivery: From initial system design to cloud infrastructure and deployment, you and your team own the full lifecycle.

What You Need to Succeed

• Engineering judgment, in any stack: 3+ years shipping production software. Which languages you used doesn’t matter. What matters is that you can look at what an agent produced and tell whether it is sound, secure and maintainable, or just plausible-looking.

• Agentic Fluency: You are already using AI agents to accelerate your workflow in your daily work.

• Autonomy: You thrive in a results-oriented, meeting-light culture. You don't need a manager to tell you what to do next.

• Security Mindset: You do not need to be a security researcher, but you must take pride in shipping secure code and understanding modern threat landscapes.

• Communication: You are fluent in English.

Why Join Us at WorkFlex

• Unmatched Freedom: Work from anywhere in the world. 183 days of workations is our standard.

• The Best Tools: We provide the budget and access to the latest AI tools to ensure you are the most productive version of yourself.

• Equity & Growth: Virtual Stock Options (VSOPs) and a merit-based culture with massive growth opportunities as we scale.

• Wellbeing budget: A monthly budget of €200 for co-working or sports.

Our stack, for the curious: Java (Spring Boot) and Angular (TypeScript). You don’t need experience in either. Our coding challenge uses this stack, and we expect you to solve it with Claude Code, Codex or whatever agent you prefer.

We may use AI-assisted tools to support parts of our recruitment process. These tools help our team review applications more efficiently, and all hiring decisions are made by humans.
