## 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 sales engineer to be the technical partner in our sales process. Our buyers are systems and engineering leaders at aerospace, defense, automotive, and hardware companies, and they need to see how Flow fits their real workflows before they commit. You will run technical discovery, demos, and pilots, and you will be the person who can answer the hard questions in the room.

This role pairs closely with our account executives. They own the commercial relationship, and you own the technical win: showing the product, mapping it to the customer's engineering process, and making sure a pilot proves out what it needs to.

## What you'll do

- Partner with account executives on discovery calls, technical demos, and pilots, from first technical conversation through to a signed deal.
- Understand each customer's engineering workflow and requirements process, then show how Flow fits it.
- Build and run demos and proofs of concept that reflect the customer's actual use case rather than a generic script.
- Answer technical and security questions from engineering, IT, and security teams, and complete security questionnaires with support from the team.
- Work with product and engineering to feed back what customers need and where the product should go next.
- Partner with forward deployed engineers to hand off pilots cleanly into deployment.

## About you

- 4+ years in sales engineering, solutions engineering, forward deployed engineering, or a technical customer-facing role.
- Comfortable running a technical room, from individual engineers up to VPs, and adjusting the conversation to each.
- Strong technical foundation: you can reason about APIs, integrations, and how software fits into an existing engineering stack.
- Able to translate between what a customer says they need and what the product actually does.
- Comfortable in a fast-moving environment where the sales motion and the product are both still taking shape.

## Nice to have

- Familiarity with requirements, systems engineering, PLM, or ALM tooling (Jama, DOORS, etc.)
- Background in or selling into defense, aerospace, or regulated hardware environments.

## 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.
