The Role
Flow is Hadrian's Factory Operation System: a distributed, mission-critical software platform that coordinates how work is planned, executed, measured, and improved across many factories.
Flow is an interconnected platform of services, applications, data pipelines, and operational workflows that must evolve quickly without sacrificing reliability.
This role leads engineering for one or more business domains: building a team that ships product, owns its systems in production, and works closely with stakeholders across the company.
Factory Core is the part of Flow that runs the physical factory: the Manufacturing Execution System, Shop Floor experience, Inventory, and Warehouse Management. Every part made, moved, or shipped passes through these systems, and operators depend on them every shift. The Factory Core team is central to scaling throughput for existing and new factories.
You do not need aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role.
What You'll Do
- Own one or more business domains end-to-end, including product outcomes, engineering execution, and ongoing operational health.
- Hire, grow, and retain a strong team; set a clear bar, develop careers, and address performance directly.
- Stay hands-on as a player-coach; drive architecture and design reviews, ship code on roadmap work, and support production incidents.
- Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to shape the roadmap and translate business priorities into shipped work.
- Continuously improve the developer lifecycle: planning, design, code review, testing, deployment, on-call, and incident response.
What We're Looking For
- 2–5+ years of engineering management experience leading product engineering teams in production, with a strong full-stack background.
- Ownership of business-critical product domains including technical strategy, prioritization, delivery, and operations.
- Experience hiring, growing, and retaining strong engineers.
- Strong product and customer instinct with focus on outcomes.
- Clear perspective on improving the full developer lifecycle.
- Systems thinking across services, data flows, and team boundaries.
- Experience with distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites or regions.
- Technical credibility: ability to read, review, and write production code and lead architecture discussions.
- Strong communication and cross-functional alignment skills.
- Comfort in fast-moving, high-stakes environments with short iteration cycles.
Compensation
The target salary range is $220,000 - $280,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
Compensation within the range is determined by factors including education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business needs.
Benefits for Full-time Employees
- Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans
- 401k
- Relocation support (based on business need)
- Flexible vacation policy
- Equity
ITAR Requirements
To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR, candidates must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain required authorization from the U.S. Department of State.

Direct collaboration with the CPO and Director of Development. Your decisions will be heard, debated, and acted on - with organizational backing to make standards stick. Customers building the next century. Rockets, fusion reactors, hypersonic systems. The problems you solve here have consequences that matter. People who will match you. You'll work alongside engineers and leaders with backgrounds from SpaceX and other high-bar organizations. Expect to be challenged, not just followed. AI at the foundation, not the edge. You'll be building the architecture that makes AI native to the platform - not retrofitting it later.
