Cloud-based platform for hardware engineering collaboration
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 tech lead 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 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.
Cloud-based platform for hardware engineering collaboration
Flow Engineering provides a cloud-based collaboration platform for hardware engineering teams, acting as a single source of truth for complex projects. It supports agile requirements management, live V&V tracking, document collaboration, version control, and workflow analysis, and integrates with GitHub and CAD tools; it can be deployed as SaaS, in AWS GovCloud, or self-hosted to meet ITAR/EAR standards. Text-based requirements are turned into machine-readable checks to guide design iterations and verification, giving engineers ownership over requirements. Its edge over competitors is a fully integrated end-to-end design and verification environment tailored for hardware and systems engineering with strong security and compliance options. The goal is to help engineering teams accelerate hardware development and reduce costly delays, enabling work on large-scale global challenges like climate change.
