## 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

Flow is a system of record, and a system of record only delivers value when an engineering org actually lives in it. A requirements platform that half the team uses isn't half as valuable, it's worse than nothing, because now there are two sources of truth. So our post-sale work isn't check-in calls and QBRs. It's deployment: migrating requirements out of legacy tools and spreadsheets, configuring Flow around how each customer's programs actually run, redesigning workflows, and driving the organizational change that gets hundreds of engineers to move their daily work into a new system. You'll inherit over a hundred customers across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise, a small team of reps who manage the renewal book today, the post-sale side of our forward-deployed team, a support motion that needs to be scaled, and a team plan that goes to 10+ people in 12 months. You'll start as a true player-coach: carrying your own book of accounts, running their deployments end to end, and owning their renewals personally. The methodology should come from the work and first principles, not another playbook from a different company. As the team scales, you'll shift weight toward leading, but the expectation is that you never fully leave the field.

## What you'll own in year one

- Carry your own book of accounts: lead their deployments, drive their adoption, and personally own their renewals
- Define the deployment methodology: what "deployed" means, the phased rollout playbook, adoption measurement, and health scoring built on real usage rather than logins
- Design the coverage model: embedded deployments for enterprise, guided rollouts for mid-market, scaled low-touch for SMB
- Own renewals end to end, leading the reps who run the book today and building the motion around them, with expansion signals passed to the AE team
- Stand up support: tiering, response expectations, and a clean escalation path into engineering
- Assess, develop, and grow the team you inherit, then hire and ramp to 10+, and shape the split of the current forward-deployed team with our incoming Head of Solutions Engineering

## 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.
