## Job description

## About Flow

Flow Engineering is an AI-native requirements platform for modern engineering organizations, enabling hardware teams to collaborate with AI agents to design, validate, and evolve complex systems with speed and rigor.

## About the role

Flow is seeking a senior engineering manager to lead a team building the core of our platform. This is our first dedicated engineering management hire, and you will own delivery for a team of engineers while staying hands on with coding.

You will report to our head of engineering and work closely with product, design, and our forward deployed engineers.

## What you'll do

- Manage and grow a team of engineers, owning onboarding, feedback, and career development.
- Own product execution end to end, from scoping with customers through ship, measure, and iterate.
- Stay technical. Review code, make architecture calls, and pick up meaningful work when a project needs it.
- Help establish engineering best practices
- Work directly with customers. Our users are systems and requirements engineers at hardware companies with a high bar
- Partner with recruiting to build the team
- Help set direction on how AI shows up in the product, working with engineers building agentic workflows and LLM-powered features.

## About you

- 8+ years developing production software, including designing, testing, and operating services at scale in a cloud environment.
- 2+ years managing engineers, ideally at an early-stage company or somewhere with little existing process scaffolding.
- Track record shipping software that enterprise customers depend on, with a clear understanding of what that changes about how you build.
- Still hands on with coding
- Direct communicator who is able to give difficult feedback
- Comfortable working in a high-ownership, fast-paced environment where experiments and iteration are the norm.

## Nice to have

- Background in aerospace, defense, automotive, or another regulated hardware domain.
- Experience with requirements, ALM, PLM, or systems engineering tooling.
- Experience managing teams building LLM-powered or agentic features in production.

## Our stack

- TypeScript/Node.js and Python for backend and AI services.
- Modern LLM APIs and orchestration libraries for building agentic workflows.
- Postgres and other managed cloud services for data and state.

## 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.
