Job summary

Flow Engineering is hiring a staff software engineer with an infrastructure focus to build and scale the core platform behind Flow. You will own services and infrastructure that let “agentic systems engineers” and product teams rely on Flow in their day-to-day work.

You will join a small, senior, high-ownership team that values speed, ownership, and strong fundamentals: ship v1s quickly, learn, and iterate.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production systems in a cloud environment (AWS or GCP).
• Strong understanding of systems design, distributed systems, reliability, observability, and security practices.
• Experience with containerization and infrastructure-as-code tooling (Docker, Terraform or similar).
• Comfortable owning projects end-to-end in a fast-paced environment and making pragmatic tradeoffs under ambiguity.
• Collaborative, low-ego and able to work with product, design, and customer-facing teams.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate backend services and platform primitives that support complex engineering workflows and collaboration at scale.
• Scale Flow from thousands of users to hundreds of thousands, improving performance, reliability, observability, and security across the stack.
• Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines, test infrastructure, and internal tooling to ship quickly and safely.
• Collaborate with frontend and AI engineers to define APIs, data models, and integration points that are robust and easy to evolve.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and technical direction as the product and customer base grow.
