Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure
Flowengineering · San Francisco
About this role
## About Flow Flow Engineering is an AI-native requirements platform for modern engineering organizations—helping hardware teams collaborate with AI agents to design, validate, and evolve complex systems with speed and rigor. After a recent Series A, the team is scaling the product from thousands of users to hundreds of thousands while maintaining a high bar for reliability and speed. ## About the Role Flow is hiring a **Staff Software Engineer (Infrastructure)** to build and scale the core platform behind Flow. You’ll own services and infrastructure that enable “agentic systems engineers” and product teams to rely on Flow day-to-day. You’ll join a small, senior, high-ownership team that values speed, ownership, and strong fundamentals—ship v1s quickly, learn, and iterate. ## What You’ll Do - 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 so the team can 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. ## About You - 3+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production systems in a cloud environment (e.g., AWS or GCP). - Strong understanding of systems design, distributed systems, reliability, observability, and security best practices. - Experience with containerization and infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g., 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 excited to work closely with product, design, and customer-facing teams. ## Our Stack (Infra-Leaning) - TypeScript, Node.js, and React (strong bias toward type safety) - Postgres and other managed cloud services for persistence and messaging - Containers, Terraform (or similar), and a major cloud provider (AWS/GCP) for infrastructure ## How We Work & Values - **Speed over everything:** ship v1s quickly, learn, and iterate rather than chasing perfection. - **Own, downscope, ship, iterate:** clear ownership, smallest real thing, tight feedback loops. - **Fundamentals done well:** simple, repeatable systems that let us move fast without breaking trust. ## Compensation & Benefits - Competitive salary and meaningful equity - Health, dental, and vision coverage - Flexible time off and support for travel to customers when it matters (“get on a plane”)
