This high-impact position suits an experienced technical leader who thrives in ambiguity, stays close to the code, and wants to help build the world's first AI hardware engineer.

Role Overview

The Engineering Manager will own software development processes at Flux, guiding product engineering teams to ship high-quality features with speed and reliability. This professional will partner closely with product, design, and founding leadership to shape technical direction, drive architectural choices across the stack, and lead the team through a constantly evolving product landscape in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

Act as the technical standard-bearer by establishing architectural principles, reviewing critical designs, and preventing unacceptable long-term risk.
Build and scale the engineering function as a hands-on manager who hires, mentors, and retains top engineering talent.
Drive cross-functional alignment by translating business needs into technical strategy and serving as the engineering voice in leadership discussions.
Develop AI-native engineering practices by integrating AI-assisted development into daily workflows like coding, testing, and observability.
Amplify team signal by building feedback loops for quality, reliability, and team health.

Requirements

Bring at least 4 years of engineering leadership experience managing teams, including hiring, mentorship, performance management, and retention.
Possess 8 or more years of hands-on software engineering experience prior to management, with the ability to review pull requests and architect solutions.
Demonstrate experience shipping and iterating on complex, customer-facing web applications at scale under real-world deadlines.
Have a proven ability to collaborate directly with product and design teams, as well as influence executive stakeholders.
Show full-stack proficiency and experience building AI-integrated or agentic software products in production.
Exhibit an adaptive mindset with a history of thriving in chaos and early-stage environments.

Nice to Have

Practical background building or managing teams that build production LLM-integrated or agentic products.
Comprehensive full-stack fluency across React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and cloud infrastructure like GCP or AWS.
Early-stage startup experience, such as joining a company at Series A or earlier to help scale the engineering team.
Demonstrated success personally sourcing, interviewing, and closing five or more senior engineering hires with strong retention outcomes.
Strong tooling instinct demonstrated through building internal systems, frameworks, or tools to boost team productivity.
