Profile

Impact-oriented : You dont feel done until real people are getting real value from what you built.

Ambiguity-native : You thrive in the undefined. Our work is full of half-mapped terrain soft constraints and ideas that shift under your feet. That energizes you. You constantly update your intuitions as you go and are excited to discover new and better ways to attack challenges were still finding words to describe.

Collaborative : You share your thoughts early and often and welcome debate and creative collaboration. Flux is a deeply collaborative company and we believe that the best ideas can only win if theyre said out loud.

Convention-averse : Flux is an AI-first company building AI tooling using AI tooling. We constantly experiment with new tools techniques and processes. You feel an urgency to reimagine what your work looks like in this rapidly changing world and you value critical thinking far above established conventions.

Ownership mentality : You are a self-starter bias toward action and care deeply about the team and community who lean on you and your work.

Thanks for reading! Prior experience with HW or Electronics is not required - except for our Hardware internships! If the roles above dont fit you wed still love to have you in our network for upcoming opportunities. PS. Were always looking to meet Engineers who are interested in writing news technical articles or building tutorials.
