## Job description

## About Flow

Flow is the systems engineering platform for the world's best hardware teams. Companies like Rivian run their programs on Flow, keeping requirements, interfaces, tests, and design decisions connected in one live system instead of scattered across documents and legacy tools. We're growing fast, backed by Sequoia, and selling into an industry that is actively rethinking how engineering work gets done.

## The role

Your job is to turn a signed deal into real, sustained usage on a program. Flow is a system of record, which means the sale is the easy part. A requirements platform that half a team uses isn't half as valuable, it's worse than nothing, because now there are two sources of truth. So as one of our first Deployment Strategists, you'll sit at the intersection of sales, engineering, and the customer, and own deployment for a portfolio of accounts: migrating requirements out of legacy tools and spreadsheets, configuring Flow around how each customer's programs actually run, redesigning workflows with their systems engineers, training teams, and doing the change management that turns skeptics into daily users, including the engineers who didn't vote for the purchase. For integration-heavy work you'll partner with a software-focused engineer on our team; your center of gravity is the organizational side. This is an ideal role for someone who started on hardware engineering programs and found they'd rather work across many customers than inside one. You'll help incredible hardware companies reinvent how they work, and because this function is being built right now, what you learn becomes the playbook future hires run on.

## What you'll do

- Run deployments end to end: kickoff, migration, configuration, workflow redesign, training, and adoption
- Drive organizational change inside customer engineering orgs: find champions, work blockers, and make adoption stick after you leave the room
- Define what success looks like for each deployment, instrument adoption, diagnose stalls, and run get-well plans before renewal risk shows up
- Design each customer's Flow setup around their programs, and direct integration work with our software-focused deployment engineers
- Be the product team's eyes and ears in the field: what you see in deployments shapes what we build next
- Partner with the reps who own the commercial side of the book, and with AEs when deployments surface expansion
- Help build the deployment methodology: playbooks, implementation guides, and training materials for the team that comes after you

You should recognize yourself in most of this:

- You're consultative by instinct: you diagnose before you prescribe, and people trust you quickly, including skeptics
- You've made change stick in an organization at least once, and you can tell the story of how
- You can hold your own in a room of systems and hardware engineers, and translate between them and executives
- You run long, multi-team rollouts like a program: plan, milestones, stakeholders, crisp written status, no dropped threads
- You're comfortable with the technical surface: data migration, configuration, APIs at a working level
- You want the early-team experience: ambiguity, ownership, in person in SF

And across all three paths, one hard requirement: you've done real customer-facing work. You've owned relationships with customers, clients, or external partners professionally, whether in pre-sales, post-sales, deployment, consulting, or a customer-facing engineering role.

## About Flow Engineering

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Flow Engineering provides an agentic platform for systems engineering that enables hardware teams to manage requirements, design, and testing through a living system of record and AI agents.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series stage not explicitly stated; raised ~$40M total from Sequoia Capital and others)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Pari Singh (CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Systems engineering software / hardware development tools
- **Target customers**: B2B, Enterprise – hardware engineering teams in aerospace, automotive, robotics, defense, and energy (e.g., Rivian, Joby, Astranis, Radiant Nuclear)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “Help unlock the next generation of hardware” – rebuild systems engineering for the agentic era, enabling teams to design, build, test, and iterate physical systems in hours, not months.

## Products & Services
- **Flow Platform**: A requirements management and systems engineering tool that links requirements, design (CAD), simulations, code, and tests in a single “living system of record”. Features include branching/merging, impact analysis agents, systems graph, flexible data model, and AI agents (e.g., Impact Analysis Agent, Safety & Regulatory Compliance Agent, Mass/Cost/Power Budget Agent). Deployable in cloud, GovCloud, or self-hosted with ITAR, export control, and data residency.
- **Flow v3**: Latest version – first agentic platform for systems engineering, allowing AI agents to perform real engineering work inside hardware development workflows.
- **Flow Engineering Handbook**: Published guide on AI Systems Engineering for the agentic era.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding ~$40M as of most recent round (non‑equity assistance and multiple seed rounds; led by Sequoia Capital and EQT Ventures); Annual Revenue estimated at $2.0M (LinkedIn data)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Sequoia Capital (lead investor; partner Roelof Botha on board), Patrick and John Collison (Stripe co‑founders), David Helgason (Unity co‑founder), EQT Ventures, Google for Startups
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Used by tens of thousands of engineers across teams like Rivian (1,500+ engineers), Joby Aviation, Astranis, Radiant Nuclear, Impulse Space, Mytra, Volkswagen Group Technologies.
  - Active job postings: 10–12 open roles (as of mid‑2026), with quarterly job posting growth of +66.7%.
  - Backed by Sequoia Capital (partnered in 2025); company has grown to ~27 employees with presence in US, UK, Sweden, Spain.
  - Headcount growth recent month showed -6.9%, but same‑source LinkedIn shows heavily active hiring pipeline.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Agent‑first systems engineering**: First platform to integrate AI agents that reason across the entire engineering graph (requirements, CAD, simulation, test). Agents perform impact analysis, compliance checks, and budget tracking automatically.
- **Defense‑grade security & compliance**: ITAR/EAR aligned, NIST 800‑171, CUI, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA – essential for regulated industries.
- **Living system of record**: All engineering artifacts linked and version‑controlled with branching/merging, enabling zero‑cost change propagation.
- **High‑value customer base**: Signed marquee hardware companies (Rivian, Joby, Astranis) that are building the next generation of rockets, eVTOL, satellites, and robots.
- **Strong investor backing**: Sequoia Capital (a top‑tier VC) and technical co‑founder endorsements (Collison, Helgason) provide credibility and network.

## Strategic Focus
- **Agentic transformation**: Doubling down on AI agents that can perform real engineering work (not just assist) – moving from analog/digital to “agentic” era.
- **Scaling to enterprise & defense**: Expanding GovCloud, self‑hosted, and ITAR‑compliant deployments to win defense and compliance‑driven contracts.
- **Category creation**: Replacing traditional requirements tools (like IBM DOORS) with a modern, agent‑centric platform.
- **Global hiring**: Aggressively hiring for engineering (AI, frontend, full‑stack, infrastructure) and sales roles across San Francisco and London.

## Why Work Here
- **Impact at scale**: Work directly on tools used by companies building rockets, electric vehicles, autonomous robots – your code ships into real hardware.
- **Engineering culture**: Emphasis on shipping a V1 quickly, iterating, and maintaining “zero cost of change.” Values include speed, fundamentals done well, maximum effort/maximum fun.
- **Work environment**: Hybrid/remote policies not explicitly stated, but roles are listed in San Francisco (in‑office likely for engineering) and London. Equity offered across all roles.
- **Compensation**: Salaries range $120K–$300K for US roles with equity; London roles £80K–£180K.
- **Team culture**: Backed by Sequoia, described as a “small team with huge leverage” – ~27 employees currently but growing fast.
- **Notable perks**: Free trial demo available; engineering handbook published; company rating 4.0/5 on LinkedIn (16 reviews), with strong compensation (4.0) and culture (3.8) scores.
