About the Company


At Flow, we’re reimagining what it means to live, work, and connect. More than just a real estate company, Flow is a brand, a technology platform, and an operations ecosystem spanning condominiums, hotels, multifamily residences, and office spaces. We’re building a new kind of living experience: one that’s flexible, connected, and designed to create genuine community and real value for the people who call Flow home.


Our mission is oneness:  prioritizing our residents and their experiences, and fostering connection with ourselves, their neighbors, and the natural world. By putting people at the center of everything we do, we’re creating vibrant, human-centered communities where life, work, creativity, and play all come together in one place.


About the Role

 

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will develop backend systems that scale with Flow's growth. You’ll work on critical systems, collaborating with cross-functional teams to build secure, resilient services. In this role, you will actively solve complex problems with autonomy, proactively identify improvements, and take ownership of your work.

 

We believe employees are better together. Every position at Flow has an onsite or in-office requirement.

Responsibilities
  • Identify and build AI-powered capabilities into Flow's platform, from intelligent automation in building operations to personalized resident experiences
  • Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) as part of your daily workflow to accelerate development, improve code quality, and push the boundaries of what a small team can ship.
  • Build and optimize APIs, backend services, and distributed systems.
  • Collaborate with frontend, product, and infrastructure teams to ship new features, supporting peers across teams and mentoring junior engineers.
  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable software solutions while communicating across teams and providing useful asynchronous context.
  • Conduct thorough testing and performance tuning to ensure reliability, connecting technical work to product impact and customer value.
  • Participate in architecture discussions, propose technical solutions, and handle loosely defined problems with creativity and insight.
  • Learn from failures, reflect, and work hard to improve under pressure, while elevating team outcomes and engineering quality.


Qualifications
  • 10-15 years of backend software engineering experience, with a proven track record of impacts across multiple areas or services.
  • Fluency with AI-assisted development tools and a strong point of view on how AI changes the way software gets built. You're already using these tools daily, not just experimenting.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, API development, and cloud computing.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud-native infrastructure.
  • Proficiency in modern programming languages (Go, Python, Kotlin, TypeScript).
  • Ability to balance technical excellence with business needs.
