Product Engineer - Contract

About Flexspace AI Flexspace AI helps coworking operators maximize revenue and occupancy through an AI-powered e-commerce platform. We make flexible workspaces instantly discoverable, bookable, and profitable. Core capabilities include: • Real-time revenue optimization and booking insights via analytics dashboards. • A frictionless booking engine embedded in operators' websites for instant online booking and payment. • AI-powered SmartPricing and SmartMarketing Agents that optimize pricing and launch targeted campaigns automatically. • Deep CRM and inventory integrations that prevent double bookings and improve attribution tracking. Flexspace AI is fully remote, with a multidisciplinary team across the US, Canada, Israel, Turkey, Philippines and Vietnam, supporting a genuinely async culture across time zones. Role Overview We're hiring a Product Engineer to build the e-commerce platform powering the next generation of coworking spaces. You'll work directly with founders and an international team across 6 countries to: • Discover, design, and deliver product features that drive bookings, revenue, and occupancy for coworking operators. • Shape the product experience and architecture of an AI-powered e-commerce platform end-to-end. • Help define the culture, processes, and tooling of a remote, async-first engineering organization. What You'll Do • Own problems end-to-end: work with founders and operators to understand needs, then spec, design, and ship product features that drive bookings and revenue. • Build and evolve our SmartPricing and SmartMarketing agents—pricing rules, targeting logic, and performance monitoring. • Create seamless booking experiences with instant payment from operator websites. • Integrate with coworking CRMs, inventory systems, and analytics tools to sync data and prevent double bookings. • Use AI tools (Cursor, Claude) to accelerate development while maintaining sound judgment on architecture and trade-offs. • Write clear specs, RFCs, and PR descriptions that enable async collaboration across time zones. What Makes You a Great Fit We prioritize these qualities top-down—technical skills can be acquired rapidly by candidates with raw intelligence, low ego, and willingness to work hard. Async-first communication excellence • You write clear, structured messages, specs, and documentation that make meetings optional in a globally distributed team. • You can explain complex product and technical decisions in writing to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders like operators, sales, and customer success. • You keep teammates across the US, Canada, Israel, Turkey, Philippines and Vietnam unblocked with detailed PR descriptions, status updates, and decision logs rather than waiting for synchronous check-ins. Product-minded, high-agency ownership with speed bias • You have high agency and accountability: you proactively clarify ambiguous problems, ask the right questions to stakeholders, remove blockers, and drive work from idea to impact without waiting for hand-holding. • You are a fast learner who can quickly pick up new domains, tools, and concepts, especially around AI, pricing, and B2B SaaS workflows. • You are genuinely interested in the product, customers, and business context, not just the tech stack. • You treat engineering as a way to drive operator revenue, bookings, and occupancy—not just to ship code. • You are comfortable making pragmatic trade-offs between scope, speed, and robustness, especially when iterating toward product–market fit. • You prefer shipping a "minimum lovable" version this week and learning from operators over polishing in isolation. Technical versatility with strong fundamentals • Track record of building and maintaining production web products, ideally in B2B SaaS. • Our programming languages include Ruby, TypeScript, and Python. The majority of your time will be spent working in Ruby and TypeScript codebases. • Strong fundamentals in system design, data modeling, API design, and debugging across the stack. • Comfortable working across frontend, backend, and integrations, and jumping into unfamiliar parts of the codebase. • Experience using AI coding assistants as leverage, not as a substitute for sound engineering judgment. Benefits • Compensation up to $4k/month, full-time freelance contract (Vietnam, Turkey) • Stock options and new MacBook upon successful probation • AI tools budget (Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot) • Founder-track learning at global scale —master product, engineering, and go-to-market for international B2B SaaS Originally posted on Himalayas
