Forward Deployed Software Engineer – San Francisco

About this role

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 AI-focused Forward Deployed Software Engineers to build AI-powered capabilities that help teams author, review, and manage requirements more effectively. You will work on agentic systems engineer and agentic domain engineer workflows—bringing AI into the center of how teams reason about their systems.


This role sits at the intersection of AI, product, and full-stack engineering: you will take ideas from prototype all the way to stable, observable features in production.


What You’ll Do

• Partner with enterprises and cutting-edge startups to help us design and ship AI-powered features such as assisted requirement drafting, consistency checks, impact analysis, and intelligent suggestions for systems and domain engineers.
• Build agentic workflows that help “agentic systems engineers” and “agentic domain engineers” explore designs, simulate changes, and validate requirements.
• Evaluate and integrate language models and related tooling, optimizing for reliability, latency, cost, and debuggability in production.
• Build and maintain the surrounding infrastructure: data pipelines, evaluation harnesses, prompt and model management, observability, and safety/guardrails.
• Work across the stack—from backend integrations and APIs to simple UI hooks—to deliver complete AI features, not just model endpoints.
• Partner with product and customers to identify high-value workflows, run experiments, and iterate quickly based on usage.

About You

• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including designing, testing, and operating services at scale in a cloud environment.
• Hands-on experience with modern LLM providers and tooling (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, vector stores, RAG pat...
