Company mission
To vastly accelerate hardware design by building software tools that accelerate the baseline engineering process worldwide.
Role
Who you are
- 2+ years experience as either a Designer or Software Engineer
- Passionate about solving human problems. Love the feeling of getting something done
- Not afraid to develop strong opinions. Even less afraid to change them when presented with opposing evidence
- Skilled at both designing and building products. Strong Figma and CSS are essential. Demonstrate this with a personal website, or portfolio (e.g. Dribble page)
- Learn from users, not “educate” them
- Comfortable with compromising on what you think is best for the sake of solving a user’s pain sooner than had you not compromised
- Always able to understand the bigger picture/”Why” - If/when you don’t, you’re not afraid to say so - others probably don’t either
- Good communicator - Clear, concise internally while being empathetic, courteous externally
What the job involves
- Flow is “Github for hardware”. We’re building a core design/test collaboration platform for the hardware engineering industry. Flow helps Rockets, Cars, Aeroplanes and Nuclear reactors get to market years ahead of schedule and save billions in R&D costs
- Our mission is to bring agile software development philosophies (CI/CD, pull/push, branching) to an industry that is desperate for a better solution
- Build features that help solve the hardest (hardware) engineering problems in the world
- Rapidly sketch product ideas in Figma, to test on users
- Take an idea from a customer call you had to production, in hours
- Create beautiful features using a library you’ve been excited to use
- Spot simpler, quicker solutions to user problems in team brainstorms
- Jump on a call with a user who’s having trouble with the feature you shipped for them
- Our Tech Stack:
- Typescript / React / NextJS (Frontend)
- Styled Components
- Figma for Design
- Golang (Backend)
- Terraform for managing infrastructure
- AWS for cloud
- Docker
- PostgreSQL database
- GraphQL, Hasura, Apollo Client

Our take
Engineering today is slow. Engineers waste time plugging equations into spreadsheets, rebuilding CAD models that break, and setting up simulations to test similar things over and over again - and this issue only gets worse as complexity is added. Flow Engineering is rebuilding the foundational tools that are used by developing powerful systems that automate the repetitive execution work, letting the computer do the heavy lifting.
Flow's product constitutes a single medium incorporating all the different tools that are needed to design, instead of engineers being forced to use unconnected and fragmented models. The idea is that the tools amplify and magnify engineers' creative abilities, instead of getting in the way.
Furthermore, Flow's product allows for easy collaboration and editing. Changes propagate throughout the entire system instantly, automatically rebuilding models, making the work for the engineers both more efficient and more effective.

Company values
- Move Fast, Learn Faster: Today, not tomorrow. Speed matters more than perfection. Quantity leads to quality. Mistakes are fine; inaction is not. Urgency is case. All progress comes from repetition and evolution. Playbooks are overrated; earned knowledge is 100x more valuable
- Minimize Scope, Maximize Quality: Downscope and ship. Quality is all that matters long-term, scope is flexible. Manual and functional beats over-engineered and complex. We ship fast. Product over process
- Customer Are the Heroes: We exist to serve our customers and their mission. Our commitment is total and unwavering. Every interaction matters. We’re always delighted to be proven wrong because it means progress. Care, humility, and excitement drive our impact
- Relentless Optimism: All in. Whatever it takes, we make it work. Solve problems in real-time, learn on the fly, and adapt as we go. We don’t hope for success, we make it happen. Extreme humility. Complete ownership and agency
