Job Description

About Flow

Flow is massively accelerating the development of next-generation hardware systems. We're the core collaboration layer for complex, regulated engineering—used by the most important space, defense, automotive, and robotics companies of our era.

Backed by Tier-1 VC for our Series A. Angel investors include Patrick + John Collison (Stripe), David Helgason (Founder, Unity), and Kyle Parrish (VP Sales, Figma).

Flow is already the de facto reference for agile systems engineering in hard tech. When humanity returns to the Moon or builds fusion power on Earth—Flow will have played a small but vital role.

What You’ll Do

As Flow’s first recruiter, you will build out our team across both technical and non-technical roles from the ground up. You will partner directly with our founder, investors, and team leads to shape and execute our recruiting strategy. This role will set the tone for how we attract, assess, and hire people who will define Flow’s future.

  • Build and continuously refine a recruiting playbook (process, tools, candidate experience) tailored for quickly scaling a Series A company
  • Lead the recruitment process from end-to-end, from crafting JDs, sourcing candidates, coordinating interviews, extending offers, and closing candidates.
  • Work closely with hiring managers to deeply understand technical and cultural requirements
  • Source candidates creatively, leveraging your network and building new pipelines through outbound, events, and partnerships
  • Serve as a thought partner to the Founder and leadership team on compensation bands, organization structure, role calibration, and candidate experience optimization
  • Establish recruiting metrics and reporting

About You

  • 4+ years of experience in technical recruiting with a proven track record of filling a variety of technical and non-technical positions
  • Experience in full-cycle recruiting, ideally in a fast-paced high-growth startup
  • Strong sourcing chops with ability to engage passive candidates that are top of their field - you’re a hunter through-and-through
  • Thrive in zero-to-one environments balancing multiple roles and stakeholders with urgency and prioritization
  • Passion for building teams and cultures from the ground up
  • Strong communication skills with ability to build trust with both candidates and internal team
  • High agency + high organizational skills - ability to manage multiple searches and stakeholders at once

What We Value

  1. Speed over everything: You barely feel a speed bump when you’re moving fast

  2. Own it, descope it, ship it, iterate: Take responsibility, deliver, and keep improving

  3. In service to humanity: We are missionaries, not mercenaries

  4. Get on a plane: Show up

  5. Basics done exceptionally well: Master fundamentals, raise the bar
