About Flow
Flow is reinventing how humanity builds its most complex machines. We are the tool for complex systems engineering used by next gen teams building the future of space, defense, automotive, aviation and robotics. If a company is aiming for the Moon, developing fusion power, or establishing the first interplanetary colony, they’re likely using Flow to get there.
We’re backed by Sequoia Capital with angel investors including Patrick & John Collison (Stripe), David Helgason (Unity) and Kyle Parrish (Figma).
About the Role
As one of our first forward deployed engineers, you’ll sit at the intersection of sales, engineering and customers: understanding how next-gen hardware teams build, guiding deployments, and supporting adoption, ensuring customers have the insight and tools to achieve meaningful outcomes.
This is an ideal role for someone who started their career on hardware engineering programs, then discovered they love working with customers to solve their problems. This role will enable incredible hardware companies to reinvent how they work.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
